It's the architecture that catches your eye first. A striking, multi-angled bay of windows wraps around one side of the home, while a circular window tucked beneath the roofline and a procession of slender palms add further interest to its grand brick facade. Sitting proudly at the highest point of a quiet Carindale cul-de-sac, the residence has a presence that's difficult to overlook. Designed by its owner and cherished for thirty years, its distinctive proportions and wonderfully personal details speak to a home created with genuine thought, individuality, and an appreciation for craftsmanship.
A palm-lined pathway leads from the generous driveway to a raised, sheltered porch, where intricate timber fretwork and decorative glazing offer a beautiful introduction to what lies within.
Step inside and the home's individuality comes into its own. Warm timber finishes, enduring slate floors and generous 2.56m ceilings establish a wonderfully grounded sense of character. To the left, the formal lounge follows the home's unusual architectural shape, an elegant, carpeted retreat with a traditional pendant light and windows wrapping around the room to welcome natural light and leafy outlooks.
Beyond, the dining area connects naturally with a beautifully appointed kitchen, where granite benchtops, Smeg appliances and twin Fisher & Paykel dishwashers bring everyday practicality to this character-filled setting.
At the heart of the home, a second living space offers something particularly special. A working fireplace sits against original timber-lined walls, while an arched doorway and adjoining casement windows showcase exquisite leadlight artwork designed and created by the owner. Birds, branches, and delicate floral motifs catch the light, bringing colour and personality to a room already rich in warmth. It's the sort of detail you simply cannot replicate.
A fourth bedroom downstairs, complete with beautiful timber sliding doors, offers flexibility for guests or a home office, with a bathroom, laundry and internal access to the oversized double garage completing the level.
Beautifully established, wonderfully private, and ready for its next chapter
Upstairs, a further living retreat accompanies three bedrooms and the main family bathroom. The master suite is particularly generous, occupying an impressive portion of the upper level with an expansive walk-through robe and private ensuite featuring a bathtub. That charming circular window glimpsed from the street, takes pride of place here, adding a little architectural magic to the morning routine.
Outside, the home's north-easterly rear aspect welcomes cooling breezes across an extensive covered patio, stretching almost the full width of the residence. Brick-paved pathways wind through beautifully nurtured gardens, where established palms, flowering roses and lush greenery create a wonderfully private setting. An inground swimming pool with gazebo invites long summer afternoons, while generous lawn space leaves plenty of room for children and pets.
Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. Beyond the substantial double garage, a separate garage and workshop, additional covered parking and generous driveway accommodation provide exceptional flexibility for vehicles, hobbies, and recreational equipment.
With parkland on the doorstep and Westfield Carindale, Pacific Golf Club, Carina Leagues Club and Minnippi Parklands within easy reach, this is an address that balances quiet residential living with everyday convenience. Local schooling options include Belmont State School and Whites Hill State College, which offers a French Immersion Program, while Brisbane's CBD is approximately 12 to 15 kilometres away by road.
