The morning starts in the greenery. High on its stumps, the house looks out into mature trees and tropical gardens on every side, so the day begins with leaves at the window rather than the neighbours. Coffee on the deck, a few quiet minutes in a window seat before the day begins, or a little longer in bed while the birds do the waking.
The character was here first. VJ walls, pressed-metal ceilings, ornate rosettes and polished timber floors carry the story of a classic Queenslander, from the leadlight doors at the entry to the built-in bookshelves waiting for an afternoon with a book. It's a house you feel as much as see.
By afternoon, life gathers around the timber-topped island. The kitchen opens straight onto a broad covered deck, screened in timber and looking down over a terraced garden framed by rock walls and mature trees. Someone's cooking, friends have claimed the deck, and the kids are on the lawn below, always in view.
As the light fades, the house settles. The ceiling fans turn, the garden goes quiet, and the deck becomes the best seat in the house for one more drink before bed.
There are four air-conditioned bedrooms, some with window seats looking out into the greenery, and two updated bathrooms, one with a bath for the end of the day. Downstairs, a double garage with drive-through access to the backyard sits alongside a huge storage area for the bikes, the boards and everything in between.
Step out the gate and Alderley does the rest. The train station is less than a kilometre away and the CBD is around 6km from home. There's weekend coffee at Soul Revolver Co, the bike track at Grinstead Park for the kids, and the Enoggera State School and Everton Park State High School catchments cover every year from prep to Year 12.
A classic Queenslander, set high among the trees, with room for everyone and the city close at hand.
