17 Norman Parade Clayfield, QLD 4011

Named Avon, in tribute to the English town where Shakespeare was born, this classic Tudor-style home exudes the character and charm of a bygone era.

Built in 1936 the solid brick home was designed by renowned architects of the era, Hall and Cook, but has since been meticulously renovated by its current owners to offer modern living while retaining the character and charm of its original design.

Such was the high quality of its renovation that the kitchen was showcased on the front cover of the prestigious Kitchen and Bathroom Quarterly Magazine and it has featured prominently in several other home and interior decorating publications.

The home exudes Beverley Hills glamour but with a Queensland lifestyle at the forefront with bespoke alfresco living spaces providing the perfect balance for indoor and outdoor entertaining.

Nothing was left untouched during the massive renovation project which transformed the entire property from the front fence to the backyard swimming pool.

No expensive was spared in turning the kitchen into the real heart of the home and a MasterChef's dream.

There are top of the range V-Zug cooking appliances including, a Combi Steam Oven, multi-function oven and Combi microwave oven.

It has an induction Teppanyaki plate and bench wok and a two-zone induction cook top, while the kitchen tap delivers chilled, boiling and sparkling water.

The kitchen area overlooks an open plan living area and out to the backyard and outdoor entertaining area.
There are two bedrooms on this level including the master suite which is decorated with striking, luxurious wallpaper and has a large walk-in robe and ensuite.
