Secure your dream lifestyle right now with this picture-perfect home in an ideal location. Standing astride a wide-frontage 802 square metre block, 3 Maxwell Place offers you a large slice of Queensland heaven.
Imperiously positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, this imposing and secure brick house has immediate street appeal. A broad and pristine garden – fully fenced and superbly manicured – is ideal for kids and pets to enjoy. To the other side is a quintessentially Queensland in-ground swimming-pool. A large pool with a fantastic gazebo allows parents to relax while the kids splash around. There's even an outdoor shower to cool off in after your swim. With a covered entrance spanning the whole front of the house, there's no excuse not to enjoy this wonderfully serene outdoor space.
Stepping inside this thoughtfully designed home, you enter a relaxed lounge, flooded with natural light and offering a view across that idyllic front lawn. This cosy room offers some classic Queensland design features, such as the timeless timber look flooring (a feature throughout the house) and the wood-burning fireplace for those cooler winter days.
Flowing through internal wooden doors is a second, larger living area, continuing the subtle grey and white palette. This room has stylish features such as an impressive bay window and brick feature wall. A powerful air-conditioning system offers comfort all year round. And stepping toward the rear of the property is a capacious home office or study area, again benefitting from air-conditioning, with space and storage for all your work requirements. The office can be conveniently closed off from the rest of the house with stylish mottled stain-glass doors – another nod to the archetypal Queensland property.
The heart of the home really is the stylish kitchen. A sleek and spacious design offers plenty of dark granite work-surfaces on which to create culinary masterpieces. A high-spec five-burner hob is complemented with a 900mm electric oven, plus there is a useful LG dishwasher. The kitchen has an array of cupboard space, while the large Butler's pantry offers additional room for all your cookery gadgets and gizmos.
Opening up from the kitchen is a formal dining area, with enough space for hosting a large get-together, or for quieter family meals. A lovely touch here is the ease with which the outdoors brought to you - stepping through the secure sliding doors, you will find a decked and covered entertaining area that stretches for much of the rear garden. A perfect spot for a barbeque and outdoor gatherings, the private and secluded rear garden also offers peace and tranquillity.
Returning indoors, the three large bedrooms are all privately situated in the northern end of the home. The Master Bedroom is a wonderful, private space in which to relax. Boasting sophisticated timber flooring and a practical air-conditioning system, the room is light and bright thanks to a wonderful bay window. Big built-in-wardrobes offer excellent storage, and the sophisticated en-suite grabs your attention with chic tile-flooring and a stylish, frameless shower-unit.
The second and third bedrooms are both very large and continue the flow of timber underfoot. Each has a modern ceiling-fan and large built-in-wardrobes. A stunning family bathroom encapsulates the pride with which this house has been developed, with sleek tile-flooring, a large contemporary shower-unit, and a luxurious claw-foot bath-tub.
Luxury abounds at 3 Maxwell Place, but practicality has definitely not been forgotten. A 5kW bank of roof-top solar panels will keep power bills low whatever the season. A large rain-water tank and two useful garden sheds will give green-fingered gardeners a helping hand. There is a single lock-up garage either for a vehicle or extra storage, plus a strong carport and additional driveway parking.
Ideally located within walking distance of both Brisbane Bayside State College and Moreton Bay Girls College, the house is in a quiet spot with plenty of parks nearby. It is also just a ten-minute drive to Manly Harbour, and 20 minutes into Brisbane CBD. A rare offering of style, design and good taste, this outstanding home is not to be missed.
