Offering far more than a standard low-set brick abode, this brilliantly designed and wonderfully positioned home provides so many sensational features that you’re seldom find in another property.
Garnished with some breath-taking renovations, a crystal clear in-ground swimming pool and outdoor areas that will leave you inspired, this is a residence for those demand privacy, luxury and a real sense of style.
If you’re not familiar with the area, it’s long been said that Albany Creek is a tightly-held and extremely popular area no matter what the real estate market is doing…let alone when the market is as hot as it is right now!
This property is particularly well located where you’re within a stone’s throw of everything that you could possibly need…
You’re within a short stroll to the walking paths of the Bunyaville State Forest where you can walk your dog, go for a hike, ride your mountain bike around one of the purpose-designed tracks or (if you’re a little more motivated), go for an early morning run.
But if you head the other way, you’re only a few hundred metres away from the Albany Creek State High School or Albany Creek Central Shopping Centre where you can enjoy a morning coffee, do your shopping at Woolworths or perhaps enjoy a workout at the local gym.
There’s an extensive bus network nearby and you’re only a short drive to the heart of Albany Creek’s central business district.
As far as other schools go, there’s a myriad of options that include the Good Shepherd Christian School, Albany Creek State School, Albany Hills State School, All Saints Primary or even Prince Of Peace, Northside Christian College, Mt Maria Mitchelton or Northside Christian College are all within a reasonably short drive.
There’s just as many shopping options so very close and these include Albany Creek Square, Aspley Hypermarket, Eaton’s Hill Shopping Village, McDowall Shopping Village, Brookside Shopping Centre or even Westfield Chermside.
You’re within a short distance to well-loved local restaurants, cafés and pubs such as the ‘EH’ (The Eaton’s Hills Hotel), the ‘AC’ (the Albany Creek Hotel), the ‘EP’ (the Everton Park Hotel) or even the near-new ‘Brook’ Hotel.
Additionally, you’re within 25 minutes of the Brisbane Airport and around 30 minutes to the Brisbane CBD.
8 Gregory Place is very easy to find – simply head along Old Northern Road, turn left at the BP servo onto Albany Forest Drive, take the second left into Edwards Drive and finally, the first on the right into Gregory Place where Number 8 is right at the top of the leafy and peacefully quiet cul-de-sac.
As you arrive at the home, you’ll be suitably impressed with gently elevated position, immaculate landscaped gardens and sheer privacy that is blatantly obvious.
Wander up to the large cedar and led-lit glass front door…and as soon as you enter, you’re greeted with simply breath-taking vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a striking timber in-lay - all of this somehow shadowing the expansive living and meals area that lies beneath.
You’ll then notice that this area is besotted with beautiful spotted gum timber floors and ambient louvers that allow the cross flow-breezes to meander through with ease.
Past the living area, you’ll find the classic yet immaculate kitchen that features beautiful Tasmanian oak timber cabinetry, 40mm granite bench tops, room for a double door fridge, a sizable built-in pantry, a lovely tiled splash back and a selection of quality appliances that includes a stainless steel 2-drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, a stainless steel range hood, an electric ceramic cook top and a stainless steel Westinghouse oven.
By now, you’ve probably noticed the ducted air-conditioning system that’s controlled by a ‘My Air’ system.
Down one side of the residence, you’ll find all four of the spacious bedrooms with the master suite located at the front of the home – this palatial offering includes custom mirrored built-in robes and a renovated heavenly ensuite featuring a barn door, stone counter-tops, a double vanity, smooth floor-to-ceiling tiles, a semi-open double shower that includes a monsoon shower rose as well as a shelving niche, a heat lamp and a toilet.
Like many of the rooms in this home, the windows are dressed with chic Plantation shutters.
Following the hallway, you’ll then discover bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 that all offer custom mirrored built-in robes, quality wool carpets and ceiling fans whilst the fixed bookcases in the 4th bedroom will stay.
You’ll head past the separate linen and broom cupboards to find the main bathroom that provides a separate shower and a separate spa bath, a new 2-Pac vanity and best of all, a separate sauna with stunning western red cedar panelling.
There’s also a renovated separate toilet, a monstrous separate laundry with a built-in cupboard and just like the main bathroom, this laundry provides direct access to the outside areas so that welcomed guests using the pool don’t need to trapse through your home to go to the toilet.
If you head back to the main living area, you’ll open the large glass sliding doors to discover fabulous breezeway with a high vaulted pergola roof that connects the main house to the separate studio – this is a sensational place to entertain or simply relax with a morning coffee as you ponder your day in complete privacy.
Speaking of the separate dwelling, this amazing brick structure can be utilised in so many ways – perhaps a yoga studio, an art studio or even a separate living area for your teenagers.
It could also be converted into a separate granny flat should the need arise.
The studio measures 9 x 4.5 metres in size, offers a split system air-conditioner and a stainless steel ceiling fan, gorgeous exposed brick walls, Crimsafe-style security screens and lush wool carpet.
If you head around to the back of the property, the surprisingly spacious yard leads you right to the crystal clear 70,000 litre pebble-crete salt water inground swimming pool.
Built by ‘Majestic pools, this glorious offering features a cascading rock water feature, a new sand filter and a new chlorinator box and this pool is surrounded by synthetic turf and a new pool fence.
If you follow the driveway down the left hand side of the property, this side access leads you to a huge triple bay shed with two remote doors, power and lights…and there’s a perfect space next to the shed to store a trailer.
Other notable features include a new timber fence down one side of the home, a clothesline, external spotlights and a large water tank whilst there’s also side access for a small caravan or boat.
Sublime renovations, soaring ceilings, sparkling pool, a sensational sauna, a separate studio, side access to the superb shed and a spacious 1078m2 block – all of these unique features and that’s only things starting with the letter ‘S’!!
This a truly mesmeric property that will surely tick a lot of boxes for a large variety of buyers – Be Quick!
