Think of the iconic song and replace the sheep or two and the kangaroo with breathtaking mid-century design, oodles of original character and potential for future upgrades - and this stunning treetop home is what you get!
Built by Brisbane architect Greg O'Brien and nestled amongst lush bushland, this home perfectly marries warmth and character inside with the leafy scenery visible through every window. High ceilings, banks of large louvres and full-height timber-framed glass doors throughout make the home light, bright and well-ventilated with great flow onto its rear deck and upstairs balcony while still feeling welcoming with original hardwood floors and statement exposed beams.
Meanwhile, there is so much potential for you to add your own touch to this property. Set on 610 sqm featuring a yard to the rear and a very cool built-in seating and barbecue area to the side, enjoy the rainforest style setting or add a little landscaping to elevate the outdoor living to rival that of the house itself. The house also offers the same range of opportunity from enjoying it just as it is to adding a number of small tweaks to the layout such as easily creating a master suite with ensuite - ask us how. There are many golden opportunities here to significantly add to the value of the home, generate a healthy capital gain and all without breaking the bank … or your sanity!
A home like this offering so much in the way of style, privacy and opportunity is a rare find in today's market and you will certainly not be the only one looking, so hurry in while you can!
