There's something rather wonderful about coming home and feeling as though you've left the rest of the world behind.
Perhaps it's the acres of beautiful parkland stretching out in front of you, the almost complete absence of passing traffic, or the feeling that your own leafy 828sqm block simply continues beyond the front gate. Or perhaps it's the house itself - wonderfully generous, beautifully connected to its surroundings and with the kind of spaces that invite a family to spread out, settle in and make themselves thoroughly at home.
Whatever it is, your imagination doesn't have to work particularly hard. Coffee around the kitchen island looking out across the trees. Doors folded back and a houseful of friends spilling onto the enormous deck. Kids and dogs disappearing into the garden. Winter dinners beside the fire. Long walks through the park. There's a rather lovely life to be lived here.
And despite feeling wonderfully removed from the world, you really aren't. Kenmore Village is just five minutes away and Brisbane CBD around 30. It's an increasingly rare combination of space, greenery, peace and convenience - and one we suspect families will find very difficult to resist.
It won't come as any surprise that this is guaranteed to sell at auction if not before so be very quick to view.
INSIDE
• Generous split-level brick and tile family home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms plus two separate toilets, multiple living spaces and double remote lock-up garage;
• The heart of the home is the beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and meals area, positioned to make the most of the leafy outlook across the garden and parkland beyond;
• Large engineered-stone island with electric cooktop and seating for up to six, as well as two wall ovens, stainless-steel dishwasher, double sink, glass feature splashback and excellent storage and preparation space;
• Fireplace makes the kitchen and meals area wonderfully cosy through winter, while a huge bank of timber-framed bifold glass doors completely opens the room to the front deck in warmer weather;
• Timber-look flooring through the kitchen/meals area has recently been refinished to a warm satin finish;
• A second living and dining zone on the mezzanine level provides valuable separation and opens through glass doors to the rear courtyard and garden;
• Privately positioned on this level, the generous master suite enjoys a dual aspect and features both walk-in and built-in robes plus a renovated ensuite with travertine-look tiling and customised timber vanity;
• Three additional bedrooms occupy the upper level, all with new carpet and storage, including one with a walk-in robe and another with a built-in desk nook;
• Renovated family bathroom with travertine-look tiling, bath, separate shower and double basins, with a separate toilet;
• Renovated laundry with modern cabinetry, engineered-stone bench, travertine-look tiling, direct outdoor access and an additional separate toilet;
• Air-conditioning and ceiling fans to all four bedrooms plus the upper living area;
• Double lock-up garage with remote access.
OUTSIDE
• 828sqm fully fenced block with electric front gate, established gardens, hedges and mature trees;
• Elevated position captures the beautiful green outlook across Creekside Park from the deck and throughout much of the home;
• Enormous front deck flows directly from the kitchen and meals area, creating a fabulous extension of the living space and a wonderful setting for entertaining;
• Fully fenced garden with plenty of room for kids, dogs, trampolines, cubby houses and the general paraphernalia of family life;
• Flat backyard to the rear plus an additional paved courtyard accessed directly from the second living area.
THE LOCATION
• Directly opposite beautiful Creekside Park, with no houses across the road and minimal through traffic, this is an exceptionally peaceful part of Kenmore Hills where the outlook is dominated by trees, parkland and open green space;
• Creekside Street is not a thoroughfare to anywhere else, meaning traffic is largely limited to local residents - a wonderful proposition for families and anyone who values peace and privacy;
• Acres of parkland are quite literally across the road, providing an enormous extension to your own backyard for walking the dog, kicking a ball, playing with the kids or simply enjoying the greenery;
• Within the catchments for highly regarded Brookfield State School and Kenmore State High School, both only minutes away;
• An excellent selection of private schools is also within approximately 15-30 minutes, including Brisbane Boys' College, St Peters Lutheran College, Brigidine College and Ambrose Treacy College;
• Greentrees Avenue bus services to Indooroopilly and the CBD are approximately 550m away;
• Around five minutes to Kenmore Village with Coles, Mitre 10, the library, cafés, restaurants and specialty stores, plus the abundance of medical, professional and everyday services surrounding the shopping precinct;
• Approximately 30 minutes from Brisbane CBD - making the feeling of being this far removed from suburban life all the more remarkable.
