This character-filled home sits on a prized flat corner block (693 sqm) offering fantastic value for the discerning buyer. This treasured home offers fabulous separation of living on each level, ideal for a growing family, harmonious inter-generational living, or guests. The whole home is light-filled and airy all year round, making this a very energy efficient home to live in. This home is a must see to fully appreciate everything it has to offer, but if you are unable to visit in person, check out the 3D-Virtual Tour and Walkthrough Video.

As you enter the home via the classic Queenslander style front stairs you are warmly greeted by a private north-facing covered verandah. It’s brilliant, especially to have a cup of tea or coffee to enjoy the morning winter’s sun. In summer the home captures the north-easterly breezes which makes this home a true delight to live in. The gleaming hardwood polished timer floors are the first thing to grab your attention, classic and so practical. With its soaring ceilings, the upstairs level comprises three bedrooms or two bedrooms and a ready to complete ensuite. The master bedroom is spacious with wall-to-wall wardrobe space and the second bedroom has an adjoining room that can be used as a study or walk-in robe. The kitchen is open and inviting, has loads of storage and boasts a Miele dishwasher and gas cooktop.

One of the endearing features of this top level is the well-thought out covered rear entertainment deck that spills seamlessly off the inside living/dining area. This huge alfresco entertainment space is the heart of the home being where family and friends meet at least once per day whether it be for a formal meal, evening celebration or a casual Sunday brunch. The outdoor BBQ with extra burners and extended stainless steel work bench easily caters for a huge group. And to top it all off is the VIEW (check out the online photos) to Mt Coot-tha and across the suburban leafy green vista. Just perfect to unwind after a day at work.
The downstairs level is accessed by internal stairs and is a real surprise package, three more bedrooms or one that can be used as a home office/business with its own separate entrance. There is a massive open plan flexible space with multiple areas suitable for growing children to play or young adults to enjoy their freedom. The downstairs area opens onto a front and a rear covered break-out spaces, enabling many options to spend time.

The size of the backyard sets this property apart from many others in that it’s flat and very spacious, allowing room for a generous-sized pool (STCA) and still room for backyard cricket.

The flexible internal layout of this home with its four separate outdoor living areas, including two sweeping decks to entertain family and friends offer some of the best liveability features you will find anywhere in Brisbane.

There’s also a super-sized garage, sure to delight any handyperson. There’s loads of room for off-street car parking also.
A Building and Pest Inspection Report is available for viewing; just request a copy from the agent.
