Positioned proudly on one of Belgian Gardens' most tightly held and desirable streets, this character-filled Queenslander is a home that many admire from the street yet rarely see offered to the market. Standing tall at the base of iconic Castle Hill, this much-loved residence is being presented for the first time in many years, offering a rare opportunity to secure a landmark home where the hard work has already been done, with still plenty of scope to add your own personal touch.
Rich in original features and timeless charm, the home beautifully balances classic Queenslander character with the functionality of modern family living, making it ideal for large families, dual living, or those seeking flexible accommodation options, including NDIS-approved living.
Thoughtfully designed across two spacious levels, the downstairs area is fully self-contained and provides outstanding versatility. It includes two generous bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchenette, and a sound-proof study complete with basin, offering privacy and independence for extended family, guests, or supported living arrangements.
Upstairs, elegant timber stairs lead you into the heart of the home where polished timber floors, casement windows, and high ceilings create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows effortlessly onto the expansive entertainer's deck, perfectly positioned to overlook the pool, rear yard, and sweeping views toward Castle Hill, an ideal setting for hosting family and friends year-round.
The well-appointed kitchen features stone benchtops, a 5-burner gas cooktop, plumbing for a fridge, and excellent storage, while maintaining the charm expected of a traditional Queenslander. Accommodation upstairs includes two additional bedrooms serviced by a central bathroom, while the main bedroom is a true retreat with built-in robes, a dressing table, and a stunning ensuite featuring a claw-foot bathtub.
Downstairs, the secure tandem garage is more than just parking - it's an entertainer's dream with a dedicated bar setup, complete with the ability to plumb in your own keg, making it the perfect space for celebrations, game days, or relaxed evenings with friends.
Outdoors, the home delivers a resort-style lifestyle with an in-ground chlorine pool, cabana, outdoor shower, and toilet. The property enjoys direct access to Castle Hill walking tracks, encouraging an active, outdoor lifestyle right from your back gate.
Storage is abundant throughout, with a plethora of options both inside and out, including additional workshop and carport space, ensuring everything has its place.
Importantly, the home has been meticulously upgraded with state-of-the-art, highly engineered water and flood mitigation systems, including a substantial 300mm-thick retaining wall, extensive stormwater drainage, irrigation systems, and water management solutions designed to provide long-term peace of mind - a rare and valuable feature in this location.
The current owner has truly made this property a labour of love, thoughtfully enhancing and protecting the home while preserving its character. The next owner simply gets to reap the rewards.
Adding further appeal, the home is positioned within the highly sought-after Belgian Gardens State School catchment, reinforcing its desirability for families and long-term investment.
