16 Avebury Street

Designed by Brisbane architecture practice Refresh Studio and built by Bespoke Constructions, this four-bedroom residence is defined by its facade of vertical white battens, wrapping from the street through to the pool terrace. Behind it, the home unfolds across three levels, arranged around a central void that carries natural light deep into the plan. Two living areas, a dedicated study and a covered alfresco zone with outdoor kitchen anchor the floor plan, while dual street access and double garaging complete a highly resolved inner-city home. A covered arrival passage opens the home, lined with exposed blockwork and sage green joinery. From here, timber stairs rise to the main living level, arranged as a single open-plan volume with living and dining beneath ceilings reaching 4.3 metres. Six skylights draw natural light into the centre of the floor plan, while Spotted Gum flooring complements the timber joinery and sage green cabinetry, including a full-length window seat with concealed storage and open shelving. Set within the sage green wall, a separate enclosed study with built-in desk and storage provides a private workspace, connecting to the living area through bi-fold windows that open the two spaces to one another. Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the living area to the screened rear facade, and a second living area on the upper level separates the bedrooms from the main entertaining spaces, providing a quieter retreat. Integrated into the main living area, the kitchen is anchored by a long island wrapped in Australian Spotted Gum joinery beneath a Cello Marble benchtop, with the marble continuing across the splashback. Miele appliances, a Zip HydroTap, a built-in wine rack and a linear pendant complete the space, while reeded glass adds texture to selected cabinetry and windows. A butler’s pantry and study nook are concealed behind full-height cabinetry. The master suite occupies the front of the upper level and opens to a private balcony screened by the home's signature batten work. VJ-panelled walls and a tongue-and-groove ceiling define the bedroom, alongside a walk-in robe with full-height cabinetry. The ensuite layers grey mosaic floor tiles and square-format wall tiles beneath a floating timber vanity with stone benchtop, twin basins and brushed nickel tapware. The walk-in shower holds an overhead rain shower and separate hand shower, with reeded glass providing privacy while admitting natural light. Two additional bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the upper level, each with a built-in wardrobe and access to a central bathroom. A fourth bedroom on the entry level, with wardrobe storage and a bathroom nearby, provides a private option for guests or extended family. The lower level is given over to outdoor entertaining. The covered alfresco area sits beneath the cantilevered upper level, accommodating dining and lounge zones beneath a ceiling fan. An outdoor kitchen includes a built-in gas barbecue and under-bench refrigeration, and the space flows directly to the pool terrace, framed by the continuation of the batten screen and layered, irrigated gardens by Raw Botanical Landscapes. Double garaging and dual street access complete the home's practical footprint. Throughout, the residence is equipped with ducted air conditioning, intercom and light sensors. Additionally, the property has been pre-wired for electric car chargers, solar and battery, and power over ethernet security cameras. Positioned in West End, three kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, the home sits within the Brisbane State High School catchment, with West End State School, St Laurence's College and Somerville House also close at hand. The cafes and dining of Boundary Street, the Saturday markets at Davies Park, and the West Village and Montague Markets precincts are all within easy reach, alongside riverside parkland, bikeways and CityCat connections to the city.
