To find this golden opportunity, there are several ways you can go depending on which direction you’re coming from…
Head down Gympie Road through Strathpine and at the intersection of the Lawnton Aquatic Centre, turn left into Todds Road where you’ll follow it along until you turn right directly after you pass the Lawnton State School.
If you’re coming more from the West, simply head down Old North Road though Warner where you’ll right into Todds Road where it leads you all the way around until you reach the junction of Tapini Avenue East…and Colleen Street is the first on your left.
One of the key aspects of this property is the superb location…
You’re tucked away in a quiet leafy street but so very handy to so many amenities.
As mentioned, the Lawnton State School is just around the corner whilst you’re within walking distance to the Lawnton train station, the Lawnton Aquatic Centre, the Pine Rivers Special School, Pine Rivers State High School, the Pine Rivers Bowls Club and even the Pine Rivers Showgrounds.
You’re also only a few minutes’ drive to St Paul’s Anglican College, Genesis Christian College, the soon-to-be-completed ‘Joyner Central’ shopping centre, the Strathpine Shopping Centre and even the Petrie University – whether it’s quality schools, public transport options, entertainment and recreational options, dining precincts, fast food outlets, pubs, cafes…you name it – it’s all so very close!
Is it any wonder why Lawnton is being hailed as one of Brisbane’s most recommended suburbs for growth in years to come?
As you enter Colleen Street, you’ll find Number 15 on the left and immediately, you’ll fall in love with the very gently elevated position and leafy surroundings….and quite a generous amount of grassy space at the front!
The driveway leads you to the double garage at the front and to the right of this, you’ll amble up to the front porch where you’ll enter the home.
You’ll step inside and be immediately spoilt for choice of which way you will proceed.
Turn immediately to your right and you’ll enter a simply enormous kitchen with double sided laminate bench tops, a classic tiled splash back, a built-in pantry, plenty of room for a double door fridge and a freezer and an electric stove and oven.
If you’re thinking of renovating, like most of the rooms of this home, you’ll imagination will flood you with options as the sheer size of this space will provide the room to design it to your liking.
Continue through the kitchen towards the rear of the home and you’ll discover a large separate laundry with a stunning concrete tub, a built-in cupboard, direct access out to the rear of the property and right nearby, there’s a separate toilet.
Head back towards the centre of the residence and you’ll find the spacious dining area that’s an ideal meeting place for the largest of families.
One fabulous aspect of this sensational home is that there’s plenty of interesting split levels on the ground floor and as you step down from the casual dining, you’ll enter the generously sized casual living area and the adjoining large lounge room – both that have been fitted with brand new carpet.
If you wander back towards the entry, you’ll take a few steps down and you’ll then arrive in the huge separate family room (also with brand new carpet) and this area provides direct access into the big under-stairs storage cupboard.
This hallway also provides direct access into the oversized double lock-up garage that spans a huge 7 x 6.2 metres…certainly large enough to house virtually any vehicle.
Back inside, you’ll head up the internal stairs where the brand new carpet will lead you to any one of the four over-sized bedrooms…
Towards the rear of the home, you’ll discover bedrooms 3 and 4 that each offer a double built-in robe and direct access to a private rear balcony.
At the front of the abode, you’ll find the other two bedrooms that both offer stunning polished hardwood timber floors and direct access to a delightful front balcony – bedroom two provides a large built-in robe whilst the master features a walk-in and a built-in robe (the walk in robe is so big, it could easily be utilised as a separate office) as well as an ensuite with a separate shower, a separate toilet, a vanity and an in-built wall cabinet.
Right in the middle of this upper level, you’ll find a brilliantly designed 4-part main bathroom with a completely separate bath, a completely separate shower, a separate toilet, an external vanity, a storage cupboard, another in-built cabinet and a skylight – clearly this home was so far ahead of its’ time!
There’s also a large walk-in linen cupboard so unlike many of the homes of this area, this one is jam-packed full of storage options!
Head back downstairs and in our opinion, we still haven’t even seen the best part of this property – the simply enormous grassy backyard!
There’s a cleverly designed paved courtyard that’s close to the home along with a classic ‘Hills hoist’ clothesline but beyond this area, there’s a simply astounding amount of usable space that could provide a pool, an entertainment pavilion or even a granny flat…and you’d still have grass left over for the kids and pets to run around!
There are 2 water tanks on the property (one at the front and one at the rear) whilst there is also a Crimsafe-style screen door that protects you at the rear as you head outside.
The roof is tiled and also features an 8-panel solar system and a solar hot water system as well.
With homes in this area attracting record numbers of inspections, there’s every chance that this home will be very, very popular – Be Quick or you’ll very likely miss out!
