20 Dunella Street, Sherwood, Qld 4075

In a rare blend of historic charm and modern refinement, 'The Graceful Queenslander' spans 1,518sqm across three titles in one of Sherwood's most prized and picturesque addresses. Built in 1910 and once known as the 'Ranken Farmhouse', this landmark estate privately adjoins the 15-hectare heritage-listed Sherwood Arboretum, offering a lifestyle deeply immersed in nature and beauty.
 
With its own private gate into the Arboretum, the property enjoys a rare connection to one of Brisbane's most extraordinary green spaces. Walking paths, riverside trails, open lawns and multiple playgrounds feel like an extension of the backyard, perfect for morning runs, family picnics or simply reconnecting with nature.
 
The home is a masterclass in scale and elegance, drawing on century-old character with soaring ceilings, VJ walls, timber floors and layered period detailing. A formal sitting room with Jetmaster fireplace offers a quiet retreat, while a media lounge and sunlit dining area invite connection. French doors open to sweeping wraparound verandahs and an elevated entertaining terrace, perfectly positioned to capture leafy views and golden afternoon light.
 
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both striking and functional. Designed by Rachel Elizabeth Interiors, it features honed Statuario marble, Porters' muted aqua 2-pac cabinetry, Lume Blue tiled splashbacks and matte black pendants. A freestanding 110cm Falcon oven anchors the space, with integrated appliances and a generous breakfast bar. A nearby study nook offers a handy spot for homework or working on the go.
 
Accommodation is spacious and thoughtfully arranged. The master retreat includes twin built-in wardrobes and a serene travertine-clad ensuite with a freestanding bath, dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Nearby, a second bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and built-in desk. The lower level, ideal for families with teenagers seeking space and separation or visiting guests, features three additional bedrooms, dedicated office, third bathroom and direct outdoor access.
 
Recreation is just as impressive and designed to suit every age and interest, with a mirrored dance studio featuring sprung Flexipro flooring, a professional-grade basketball court, complete with LED lighting for evening use, and an Enviroswim pool trimmed in blue quartzite. A five-person Jacuzzi, barbecue patio and manicured lawns provide plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing.
 
Additional highlights include a four-car garage, ducted and split-system air-conditioning, Crimsafe and Clearshield security, 10,000L water tank, large laundry, smart home features, and exquisite period lighting, including a rare De Grelle Belgian Crystal Belljar Lantern.

Within catchment for Sherwood State School and close to elite options such as St Aidan's, St Joseph's and Brisbane Boys' College, it's the perfect address for families who want it all.
