What's around 14 Caithness Street

Character-Filled Family Haven With Multiple Living Zones, Fabulous Outdoor Entertaining & A Sparkling Pool…All On A Huge 668m2 Block!

Quietly positioned towards the end of this tightly-held Kedron cul-de-sac, this beautifully presented two-storey character home offers the space, warmth and flexibility that growing families are so often searching for...all set across a generous 668m2 allotment with a crystal clear mineral-based in-ground swimming pool as well as multiple indoor and outdoor living zones. Built circa 1952 and thoughtfully updated over the years, the home preserves all the features that make character residences so special - polished hardwood floorboards, ornate cornices, lofty 9-10 foot ceilings and timeless weatherboard charm…all whilst delivering the modern comfort of ducted air-conditioning and space across both levels. With five bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, as many as three living areas, two separate outdoor entertaining zones and valuable separation between the upper and lower levels, this is a home that can comfortably adapt to children of every age, extended family, multi-generational living, guests or work-from-home requirements. You'll love just how convenient this position is... Tucked within Kedron's highly regarded ‘Padua Precinct’, you're moments from an outstanding selection of schools including Kedron State School, Wavell State High School, St Anthony's School, Padua College and Mount Alvernia College. Everyday convenience is equally impressive with local cafes and shops nearby, together with easy access to Stafford City Shopping Centre, Market Central Lutwyche and the seemingly endless retail, dining and entertainment options of Westfield Chermside. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the beautiful Kedron Brook parklands and bikeway are close at hand, whilst nearby parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities provide plenty of space for children, pets and active families to enjoy. With Brisbane's CBD approximately 7 km away, regular bus services within easy reach and excellent access to Gympie Road, Airport Link and the Clem7, commuting to the city, airport or surrounding suburbs couldn't be much easier. To find 14 Caithness Street, it's very easy... Simply make your way onto Gympie Road, heading North bound, then turn left at Strathmore Street (just before the ‘Coles’ complex) and then first right into Caithness Street where Number 14 is on your left-hand side and almost at the end of this peacefully quiet street. Before you even arrive, you’ll realise that you can wander down to ‘Coles’ to do your family shopping or just pick up a few items, yet you’re still far enough away where you wouldn’t even notice that a major supermarket is just around the corner. As you arrive, the home's timeless appeal, leafy surrounds and gentle elevation immediately set the tone, whilst the remote-controlled double lockable carport provides secure off-street accommodation at the front. Head up the stairs to the main entrance that’s protected by a portico and as you step through this entrance, you'll be greeted by polished hardwood floorboards, ornate cornices and wonderfully lofty ceilings that rise to approximately 9 or 10 feet...creating the sense of space and character that only a home of this era can provide. The generous lounge is a warm and welcoming place for the family to unwind and is well-equipped with ducted air-conditioning ensuring year-round comfort. You’ll quickly notice that the recently refreshed interiors exemplify the infusion of yesteryear with modern comforts. Practical yet full of personality, the renovated kitchen features smooth stone benchtops, a tiled splashback, quality 2-Pac cabinetry and VJ wall panelling together with a Smeg stainless steel dishwasher, 900mm oven, five-burner gas cooktop, stainless steel canopy range hood, dual sinks, a microwave shelf and a step-in pantry. There's also plenty of room for a double-door fridge, ensuring this well-appointed kitchen is ready to meet the demands of busy family life or entertaining on a larger scale. Positioned alongside the kitchen, the casual dining area opens through beautiful bi-folding doors onto the expansive upper rear deck...a fabulous all-weather entertaining zone with a soaring roofline, leafy outlook and enough room for relaxed family meals or larger weekend gatherings. As you meander down the hallway, you’ll discover the privately positioned master suite with entry through double doors and complete with a lovely bay window, mirrored built-in wardrobe and its’ own ensuite featuring a shower with an oversized head, 2-Pac vanity and toilet. A cleverly positioned laundry chute adds another thoughtful touch, whilst the second bedroom includes a ceiling fan and sits conveniently near the separate powder room with its’ own 2-Pac vanity. This room is also versatile enough to be used as a home office or separate study. Heading downstairs via the internal staircase, you'll discover an incredibly useful second family zone that gives older children, guests or extended family members valuable space and privacy of their own. This downstairs area even has its’ own access and entrance! Incorporating a bar area with dedicated refrigerator space, the downstairs family room is equally suited as a teenage retreat, games room, casual entertaining area or relaxed media zone. Three more bedrooms are positioned on this level, and each include carpet and built-in wardrobes, whilst one of these enjoys direct access to the two-way family bathroom featuring a shower-over-bath, vanity and toilet. A separate laundry is also located downstairs and offers a substantial 40mm counter-tops, a feature tiled splashback and direct access to the clothesline, whilst under-stair storage keeps everyday household items neatly out of sight. There's even instant gas hot water to support the needs of a busy household. The outdoor offering is every bit as impressive, beginning with the large covered entertaining area beneath the main deck and the fantastic outdoor kitchen equipped with a Smeg five-burner barbecue and stainless-steel range hood. This practical lower alfresco zone flows easily to the backyard and sparkling mineral-based in-ground swimming pool, where paved surrounds and secure pool fencing create a relaxed setting for long Summer afternoons with family and friends. Beyond the pool, the tiered rear yard offers a generous grassy play area while the raised vegetable gardens, a garden shed positioned on a concrete slab and a versatile cubby or storage area along the side of the home provide additional options for families. Connected by rear stairs, the upper deck and lower entertaining area allow everyone to move easily between the home's two outdoor zones, pool and fully fenced backyard. Additional features include a Colorbond roof, an existing 5 KW solar system, a partially fenced front yard and recently refreshed paintwork inside and out. This is a substantial and character-filled residence offering five genuine bedrooms, multiple living areas and the kind of separation that makes family life remarkably easy...all in one of Brisbane's most convenient inner-north locations.
