Resting peacefully opposite a tree-lined reserve, this Queenslander cottage with a modern extension draws the beauty of St John's Wood into family life. At one with nature and inviting a lifestyle of scenic serenity, mornings begin with verdant views, afternoons drift between the pool and decks, and there is always a place to gather or find quiet retreat.
Set on a secure 607sqm allotment, the five-bedroom house offers the warmth of classic character living with room for every generation to feel at home. Inside, gleaming timber floors, French doors, high ceilings, and decorative cornices exude enduring character, with ducted air-conditioning enhancing the natural airflow.
Extending off the entryway, the living and dining areas flow around a modern Miele kitchen, where cooking and conversation unfold effortlessly. Time together continues outside, with doors opening to a series of balconies, decks and patios where you can follow the sun, settle into the shade, host friends against the leafy backdrop, and watch children as they splash in the heated pool and play on the lawns.
A separate family room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms form an exceptional layout. Above the treetops, the top-floor master suite feels wonderfully serene, with a walk-in robe, ensuite and elevated views across the greenery. Adding to the family appeal, the fifth bedroom is privately positioned with its own ensuite, kitchenette, and desk, offering flexibility for extended guest stays, an au pair or dual living.
Nestled in nature in Ashgrove's idyllic St John's Wood, this lifestyle invites walks to bus stops, Banneton Bakery, and the shops and dining of Ashgrove West. Stroll beneath the trees and along the creek right outside your door, play with children at nearby parks, and venture over the pedestrian bridge to Ashgrove Sports Ground and Enoggera Creek Bikeway at the end of the street, linking you to Red Hill, Newmarket, Windsor and Herston.
With the CBD just 6.5km away and excellent education on your doorstep, Ashgrove State School and Mater Dei Primary are within 650m, Marist College and Mt St Michael's are less than 5 minutes away, Brisbane Boys' and Girls' Grammar are 10 minutes from your door, and you have easy access to surrounding GPS and QGSSSA schools.
