Nestled at the foot of Mount Coot-tha, at the Ashgrove end of The Gap', surrounded by bushland and opposite parkland, 27 Barkala Street is the ultimate tree change in the city!
Elevated from the street and seemingly suspended among the treetops, this unique retreat makes a tranquil sanctuary for families looking for space, comfort & seclusion. A spacious entertainer designed for multi-functional living, this warm and inviting home offers endless indoor/outdoor connections and a welcoming ambiance on arrival.
A series of open plan living zones are warmed by polished timber floorboards, and abundant windows and French doors ensure the home is filled with sunlight and breezes year round. Stepping through to the rear entertaining oasis is like stepping into another world. You could be forgiven for thinking you've hopped a plane to Bali - without the jetlag! The resort pool with waterfall feature is surrounded by sandstone pavers, utterly private (bathers optional here!) and is the ultimate haven of relaxation.
Defined by its light filled interiors and soaring ceilings, the Architect designed artists' retreat to the rear provides additional living space overlooking the central pool. A separate living unit with a mezzanine bedroom, Swedish sauna and bathroom, this unique studio is ideal as a pool house, writers retreat, guest house or master suite and acts as a fourth bedroom...and then some!!
The upper level rear yard presents the perfect opportunity to create your very own Secret Garden'. It's the perfect spot for chooks to roam aimlessly, for twilight soirees under the stars with twinkling fairy lights littered among the trees or teddy bear picnics with the kids. The established citrus trees form a great starting point for your own private oasis - the options are endless and limited only by your imagination!
