In May 2018, the homeowners purchased this property at a time of significant change in their life. After nearly a decade serving in the Army with overseas deployments, relocations and time away on courses, they were ready to settle into a place that offered stability. With the rental market highly competitive at the time, owning a home meant creating a reliable base where they could focus on building the next chapter of family life.
From the beginning, the home proved to be the right fit. Its practical layout made it easy to host friends and family, while the generous backyard provided space for their Husky to run freely. There was plenty of undercover carport and garage space to work on vehicles and enjoy their hobbies. Some of the most meaningful moments of the homeowner's life happened here, including bringing their newborn daughter home from the hospital and watching her experience's any of her firsts in life.
The decision to move on comes with mixed emotions. The homeowners have chosen to return to the Gold Coast to raise their daughter in the home where the homeowner grew up – a property that has been in their family for more than four decades and holds deep sentimental value. While it's not easy to leave behind a place that has meant so much, they look forward to the next chapter and hope the family who moves in will create their own memories here, just as they have.
THE HOME...
Set on a generous block, this four-bedroom family home has been thoughtfully improved over the years to create a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment. Significant upgrades include ceiling and wall insulation, 32 solar panels and an impressive 20kW battery storage system, a Daikin 16kW ducted reverse cycle system. Double-glazed windows have been added to the street-facing rooms to improve both comfort and acoustic performance.
Inside, the home has seen substantial renovation in recent years. The kitchen was fully redesigned and installed by The Kitchen Company in Fyshwick, featuring stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, a lazy Susan, dedicated barista station and quality appliances including a Westinghouse 900mm induction cooktop, Westinghouse oven with AirFryer function, Bosch Series 6 WiFi-enabled dishwasher and matching rangehood.
The main bathroom has also been completely renovated and now includes a double bath with spa jets, a spacious wet-zone style shower and heated towel rails. A recently upgraded cinema room offers the perfect place for family movie nights – now one of the homeowner's favourite spaces in the house.
Outdoors, the backyard remains one of the property's standout features. With plenty of space for children, pets and gatherings, it provides the type of outdoor lifestyle many families are looking for today. The high Colorbond fencing installed in 2019 ensures both privacy and security.
