Close to Mt Coot-tha Forest in a quiet leafy street in The Gap, this beautiful elevated four-bedroom family home is on the market for the first time.
Architect designed, the two level, north facing home has been fully renovated, and features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three car spaces, a large pool, massive front deck and separate living downstairs.
Arrive at the home via secure remote control gates, enter through the striking black and glass front door and ascend the internal stairs to the upper living area with its beautiful polished Cyprus pine floors.
On this level, you will find the kitchen, dining, lounge, master bedroom and ensuite, second bedroom, main bathroom, laundry, decks front and back and the back garden. Downstairs are another two good sized bedrooms with their own bathroom and an adjoining rumpus/television area and kitchenette with views onto the pool and landscaped garden. There is also a three-car undercover carport plus storage extra areas on the lower level.
A centrepiece of the home is the fully renovated kitchen, with large stone island benchtop. An enormous skylight over the kitchen bench offers abundant natural light and has a remote retractable solar blind, and in-built downlights with dimmer for ambient lighting at night. There is a Smeg ceramic cooktop and oven, and new Asko dishwasher. A separate butler's pantry off the kitchen has an exhaust fan, water filter and space for a large fridge. Generous drawers and cupboards with soft touch closure provide generous storage space. Large kitchen windows have one-way tinting and Roman blinds.
A spacious dining area blends with the kitchen, front deck and living space. An adjoining carpeted lounge has large windows with views onto the landscaped back garden at the rear, as well as views and breezes through from the front deck. Professionally made curtains adorn windows in the lounge and dining rooms, and Venetian blinds feature throughout the rest of the house. There is fully ducted air conditioning and heating upstairs, and split system air conditioning downstairs. Upstairs is fully insulated with bats in the ceiling and walls.
Drift out onto the enormous covered front timber deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens and private north-facing inground saltwater swimming pool surrounded by professionally laid natural sandstone paving. The 6m x 5m deck has a lined, insulated roof, and is north facing with three large retractable awnings for privacy and shade. The front deck receives the morning sun in winter and no sun in summer and beautiful breezes, making it the ideal temperature all year round. The pool, with recently reconditioned pump (new seals, and bearings) and new chlorinator, faces north for maximum sun for an extended swimming period.
At the rear of the home, a smaller deck outside the loungeroom is protected by a large sun sail. The beautiful, landscaped back garden has a large flat lawn area with plenty of seating - visible from the kitchen, lounge room, dining room and front deck. The property is fully fenced with large electronic self opening gates on the driveway, with keypad and individual remote control access for vehicles. The front and back yards are separated by a lockable gate, which is ideal for pets and small children.
Inside, the spacious master bedroom (4.5m x 3.6m), with walk-in robe (2.75m x 2.3m), features a large ensuite with heated towel rack, heat lamps and fan extraction. There is a retractable awning on the western side of the bedroom for sun protection and privacy. Bedroom two (4.2 x 2.8) on this level also has a walk-in robe. The house has crim safe security screens upstairs and downstairs.
