Perched proudly on a glorious 6039m2 allotment in a peacefully quiet cul-de-sac position, this breath-taking family residence is ideally suited to those that love their space and seclusion but truly value the ability to entertain in a spectacular outdoor setting.
With no expense spared in the lavish renovations that extend across almost square inch of the abode, the owner has gone to meticulous lengths to renovate the home in such a way that it is both stylish yet practical.
You’ll find 5 Shasta Court by heading along South Pine Road and turning into Eaton’s Crossing Road before turning right into Lilley Road…and then following this along until you take the second on the left into beech Drive and finally, the second on the right is Shasta Court.
Number 5 is the third house on the left and the block resides in a position that’s gently elevated but not so much as to compromise on the usability of the block.
You’ll head down the driveway and quickly realise that this property provides plenty of space to store large boats, caravans or each large machinery if required.
The main bitumen driveway and car accommodation is accessed through the secure electric gate but before you reach it, there’s ample space for guests to park their cars at the front of the block.
Wander around to the double front doors and once inside, you’re instantly impressed with the high-end renovations that you’d expect from a home of this calibre…
The gorgeous timber flooring, 9-foot ceilings, ducted air-conditioning, LED downlights and push-button lights are quickly noticeable…that is, if you aren’t immediately taken by the free-flowing and light-filled expansive layout.
You’re greeted in the formal entry with gorgeous timber and glass cabinets and as you turn left, you’ll discover the enormous formal lounge and dining area that features chic timber Plantation shutters, a built-in shelving unit and ornate ceiling fan.
Many of the connecting doors in this residence are of a high-quality timber and glass construction and once you see this, you’ll begin to understand that no expense has been spared in the dazzling renovation (a renovation that cost between $600,000 and $700,000 almost a decade ago!)
You’ll meander a little further until you next discover the sublime kitchen that offers a huge island bench with smooth stone bench tops, chic 2-Pac cabinetry including lots of drawers, room for a double door fridge, bi-folding servery doors to the outdoor entertainment area, a well-positioned skylight, a tiered timber breakfast bar, pop-up power points and even a small Butler’s pantry with a sink and shelving.
Additionally, you’re spoilt for choice with particularly upmarket stainless-steel appliances that include a recessed 5-burner gas cook top, an oven, a fully integrated dishwasher and quite incredibly, a fully concealed remote control pop-up range hood – you have to see it to believe it!
This area adjoins the casual living and meals area allowing for the entire family to catch up on the day’s events as you prepare everyone’s dinner.
By now, you’ll begin to feel the cross-flow breezes that radiate throughout the entire home, such is the clever design of the original home but more succinctly, the thoughtful consideration of the renovation.
Continue a little further through a small set of timber bi-folding doors and enter the separate family room that features a bar with solid timber counter-tops and a toasty combustion heater – the perfect space to entertain guests if you don’t wish to stay outside.
Just when you were wondering what you’d do with all of these living areas, you’ll head towards the rear of the home where you’ll find yet another family area – garnished with designer 600mm travertine floor tiles, this area could be utilised as a perfect kids’ retreat or large home office.
And lying adjacent to this area, there’s a monstrous guest bedroom that could also be used as another air-conditioned home office or perhaps a clinic/ consultation room for a home-based business – it’s ideal for this given there’s a separate entrance and you can park your car right outside.
Completing this wing of the home, you’ll find the third bathroom featuring a massive semi-open shower, a floating vanity and a toilet whilst there’s also a huge separate laundry with its’ own external access.
It might be a long way to walk but head back towards the entry and on the Northern wing of the home, you’ll find the rest of the bedrooms that includes the palatial master suite that offers beautiful pendent lights, a custom walk-in robe with dressing table and a skylight, a direct entry to the outdoors and last but certainly not least, a luxurious ensuite with a semi-open double shower that includes a monsoon rose, a stunning stacker-stone feature wall, a new 2-Pac double vanity, a heat lamp and a toilet.
Each of the remaining three bedrooms are all oversized and provide mirrored built-in robes and ceiling fans but each of these do offer subtle differences – bedroom 2 includes a brilliantly designed and hand-painted ocean feature wall whilst bedroom 4 provides its’ own external access and built-in wall shelving.
The main bathroom lies right adjacent to bedrooms, 2, 3 and 4 and as you’d expect, this area is just as lavish as the rest of the home where you’re discover the semi-open double shower that also provides a monsoon head, a separate bath, a stone-topped vanity with a feature-tiled splash back, mirrored cabinets, 600mm travertine floor tiles and a heat lamp whilst there’s also a separate toilet.
Such is the sheer quality of this home, even the linen cupboard features timber and glass doors.
If you head back into the main living area of the home near the kitchen, you’ll open the huge set of bi-folding timber and glass doors to enter the sensational outdoor pergola area with an impressive flyover roofline – perfect for hosting sizzling Summer BBQ’s or dinner parties.
This area overlooks the crystal clear and solar heated in-ground salt-water swimming pool with a thoughtful shade sail cover and surrounding glass balustrade.
On the other side of the pool, you’ll find a separate poolside gazebo with a lined roof and TV points…the kids can even have their own outdoor area too!
Right nearby, there’s a massive greenhouse/ fruit orchard that includes many varied delights such as avocado, coffee, custard, apple and every type of citrus tree that you can imagine!
Toward the rear of the home, you’ll reacquaint yourself with the driveway that evidently provides a very easy access point to the rear of the block and culminates in the double carport as well as the double shed with power and work benches.
There’s a ton of usable land at the rear and whilst it might not fall under the current town plan now, the property does distinguish itself for a perfect subdivision if the town plan happens to change in the future – at the very least, there’s ample room to construct a granny flat if this is something that you’d like to explore.
The list of additional features is quite extensive – solar hot water, a decent sized solar system on the Colorbond roof, gas bottles, a large water tank, new timber retaining walls, a handy garden shed, new electricals and best of all, great neighbours!
This property is extremely well-positioned and remains close to all amenities including quality schools (Genesis Christian College, St Paul’s Anglican College, Holy Spirit Primary, Eaton’s Hills State School or Bray Park State High School), plenty of shopping options (Cashmere Shopping Village, Marketplace Warner, the soon-to-be-completed Joyner Central, the Strathpine Centre and the Eaton’s Hill Shopping Village), lots of parks, Lake Samsonvale, the Petrie University, public transport (buses and trains), plenty of restaurants, takeaway outlets and pubs (the Warner Tavern, the Eaton’s Hill Hotel, the Four Mile Hotel in Strathpine or the Albany Creek Hotel) and finally, a host of arterial roads that lead you in any direction with ease.
Additionally, the Brisbane Airport is only 35 minutes away, the Brisbane CBD is about the same and even the Sunshine Coast can be accessed within an hour.
This is a residence that exudes charm and represents great value when you consider the money that’s been pumped into it – Be Quick as it likely won’t last very long at all!
