One of the greatest attractions of this superb residence is undoubtedly the ultra-convenient location.
A well-established residential suburb, Everton Park is approximately 20 minutes North of the Brisbane CBD, making it attractive for families and professionals who want great suburban amenities, yet remain so close to the city.
Commuting by train or bus is simple with Mitchelton and Enoggera train stations both only a short drive away.
An excellent bus network is accessible with several routes servicing the Brisbane CBD and surrounding suburbs.
If you haven’t experienced all that Everton Park has to offer, enjoy a cocktail at the local ‘Tetto’ rooftop bar, share a meal at any one of the upmarket restaurants on offer or perhaps meet some friends for a beer and a steak at the newly refurbished Brook Hotel or Everton Park Hotel – the choices are endless!
Northwest Plaza in Flockton Street is a short stroll away…and this is in addition to the plethora of shopping centres available close by that include the Brookside Shopping Centre, Everton Park Shopping Centre (Woolworths complex), Stafford City Shopping Centre, McDowall Village or the ever-popular Westfield Chermside.
The area is also known for its’ strong education options with respected schools like Prince of Peace Lutheran College, Northside Christian College, Mt Maria College, Everton Park State School and Everton Park State High School all nearby.
Nature lovers will be right at home here as you’re surrounded by several parks and green spaces nearby like Bowman and Teralba Parks as well as the Bunyaville State Forest.
Walking and cycling paths are present along nearby Kedron Brook – perfect for your daily exercise or walking the dog.
Getting to 5 Wakelin is very easy…from Old Northern Road, head outbound until you pass the Everton Park State School on your left and at the bottom of the hill, turn onto Cayley Street.
You’ll then take the first right onto Wakelin Street and Number 5 is located halfway down the street on your right-hand side.
As you arrive, you'll immediately appreciate the classic appeal of this solid high-set brick home.
Established gardens, herringbone pattern brick driveway frames the home beautifully, hinting at the quality that lies within.
One thing that will surprise is the sheer size – this might look like a typical home built in the 1970’s or 1980’s but the scope of this abode is far greater than most other homes that were constructed in this era.
Step inside and head upstairs where the home's stunning polished timber floors, fresh paint and contemporary lighting create a warm and welcoming first impression…
A stylish pendant light above the staircase and feature LED strip lighting subtly enhances the home's modern appeal.
The spacious lounge room is filled with natural light and offers split-system air-conditioning and soft window furnishings, making it a wonderfully comfortable place to relax with family or entertain guests.
From here, glass sliding doors lead out to the charming front balcony where you can sit and watch the world go by.
Flowing seamlessly from the lounge is the adjoining meals and dining area featuring an abundance of natural light.
At the heart of the home sits the brand new beautifully renovated kitchen…
Thoughtfully designed for both functionality and style, the kitchen provides new laminate benchtops, an eye-catching herringbone tiled splashback, brushed nickel tapware, a built-in pantry, microwave shelf and quality appliances including a Bosch ceramic cooktop, Bosch stainless steel oven, Westinghouse dishwasher and stainless-steel rangehood.
Extending beyond the kitchen is a generous additional living area surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass that also lends itself perfectly as a children’s play area or oversized home office or study for those that work remotely.
Another access leads out to the external stairs providing access to the rear yard.
Meander back through the living areas and down the hallway to find the three very spacious bedrooms.
The spacious master suite enjoys direct access onto the front balcony and features air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and double built-in robes.
Bedrooms two and three also include double built-in robes and ceiling fans.
Servicing this level is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home…
Offering a brand new sublime renovation, the bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard and showcases floor-to-ceiling tiling, an eye-catching herringbone feature wall, a stone-topped vanity with sensor lighting beneath, a semi-freestanding bathtub and an oversized rainfall shower complete with handheld shower fitting.
A separate toilet nearby has also been beautifully renovated to compliment the bathroom.
Head downstairs via the internal staircase and you'll discover an incredibly versatile lower level (just under legal height) offering endless possibilities.
A spacious rumpus room has been refreshed with new hybrid flooring and fresh paint, making it ideal as a teenage retreat, games room or additional family living area.
There's also a generously sized utility room complete with brand new flooring and fresh paint that would work perfectly as a home office, study, hobby room or valuable storage space.
An additional bedroom with new carpet and a double built-in robe provides even greater flexibility for extended family or overnight guests.
Completing the lower level is a convenient kitchenette and laundry combination together with a second bathroom featuring a shower and toilet.
Step outside and you'll discover both a semi-covered entertainment area providing a spacious paved zone that's ideal for family celebrations, weekend barbeques or simply relaxing whilst watching the children play in the generous grassy backyard.
