42 Wilden Street, Paddington

The residence unfolds across three substantial levels, with a lift connecting each floor. The upper level forms the social heart of the home, where soaring raked ceilings and expansive glazing amplify the sense of volume and frame the skyline as a living artwork. Open plan living and dining areas extend naturally to the panoramic deck, while a separate courtyard provides an intimate, garden enclosed setting for outdoor dining. A second lounge on the pool level offers a more relaxed retreat, complete with a custom Yarra Walnut kitchenette and direct connection to the terrace and pool.

The kitchen balances sculptural form with serious functionality. A sweeping island finished in Volakas Fusion Dolomite anchors the space, complemented by bespoke cabinetry in Yarra Walnut and an illuminated stone splashback. The extensive Miele appliance suite includes a combination steam oven, pyrolytic oven, induction cooktop, integrated dishwashers, twin refrigerators and a freezer. A concealed pantry and adjoining service zone support effortless entertaining, while the kitchen remains visually connected to the living areas, deck and skyline beyond.

Further appointments include a temperature-controlled wine cellar, gym, mudroom and workshop, full laundry with drying courtyard, extensive storage, zoned climate control and app monitored security. A 33 panel solar system with battery storage supports greater energy efficiency. An oversized five car garage with a vehicle turntable sits below, connected to every level by the internal lift.

Privately positioned on the upper level, the main suite is oriented towards uninterrupted city views. It incorporates a substantial walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite designed as a calm, highly resolved retreat. New Saviour limestone, Valas marble flooring, textured wall tiles and custom timber joinery are paired with dual vanities, a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. Four additional bedrooms provide flexibility for families and guests, with the fifth bedroom equally suited to use as a dedicated office. Each bedroom includes a custom built-in wardrobe and a ceiling fan. One guest bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and private patio, while further beautifully appointed bathrooms continue the home’s considered combination of limestone, marble and timber.

Outdoor living has been integrated into every level. The upper courtyard is framed by lush planting, a patterned overhead structure and two custom stainless steel barbecue benches, creating a protected setting for long lunches and evening gatherings. At the front, the covered deck presents an extraordinary outlook across Paddington to the city. Below, the pool terrace continues the home’s resort inspired character. The swimming pool sits directly against the skyline, with broad areas for lounging and entertaining beside the second living room. Meticulously landscaped gardens introduce greenery to windows, terraces and transition spaces throughout the residence, softening the architecture and providing privacy without interrupting the views.

Positioned high on Paddington’s hills, the home captures morning light and prevailing breezes while enjoying a peaceful position removed from through traffic, all while remaining remarkably connected to the city.

Paddington Central, Latrobe Terrace cafés, restaurants and boutiques, Rosalie Village and Suncorp Stadium are all close by, with public transport available at the top of the street. Petrie Terrace State School and Milton State School are nearby, while Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Girls Grammar School and St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace are within easy reach.

Brisbane’s CBD is approximately three kilometres away, delivering the rare combination of a quiet, close-knit neighbourhood setting and immediate city access.
