75 Red Cedar Rd, Pullenvale QLD 4069, Australia

Tucked away on a private, elevated ridgetop in a dress circle Pullenvale acreage belt, is ‘Mona Vista’, a majestic federation-style Queenslander, circa 1901, steeped in history and exuding the grace and grandeur of a bygone era that cannot be replicated in modern homes…truly breathtaking, and impressive in scale and presence.

The main residence offers super-sized family living across two expansive levels; complete with elegant entrance, seven bedrooms, three bathrooms & separate toilets, office plus study, multiple formal and casual living areas, commercial kitchen, wraparound verandas on both level plus extended north-east facing deck showcasing a delightful treed outlook across the property.

Features of the home are extensive and include soaring ceilings, VJ walls, marble fireplaces, mahogany cabinetry, granite benches in kitchen with high-end appliances, banks of French doors – 19 sets in total leading to verandah, timber floors, original lead-lighting windows on front door, double-hung windows, ducted air-conditioning, alarm system fitted, plantation fans…and so much more. Stately and sumptuous…if only walls could talk, what stories ‘Mona Vista’ could tell.

In addition to the palatial residence, there is a two-bedroom guest house/entertaining pavilion, also with a commercial kitchen, wraparound deck, bathroom, and massive ballroom sized living area with parquetry flooring – this has been constructed to complement the design and vintage of ‘Mona Vista’, and offers versatile options including dual living for the extended family, or income generation streams via Airbnb or wedding/celebration venue etc.

Infrastructure on site includes a 5-car garage plus carport, 22-metre inground pool with spa, sauna, full-sized floodlit tennis court, gazebo, fencing (including horse paddocks), water tank, and inground irrigation system.

Sandstone paths with tropical palms frame the home and the 3.93-acre grounds are absolutely glorious, providing private, peaceful, sanctuary-like living of the highest calibre, just 15.5 km to Brisbane CBD.

As resplendent as ‘Mona Vista’ is, there is some time and money required to be spent to restore this federation masterpiece back to her former glory. It is well worth the effort and capital required, to preserve and make shine again; it is a slice of Brisbane history with a rich past and an even richer future ahead.
