Positioned on an exceptional north-facing 903m² allotment, 11 Dovedale Crescent is a rare offering, with a block size that is larger than what is typically available in this pocket of Ashgrove. It is a property where scale, privacy and outdoor lifestyle come together in a way that is increasingly hard to secure.
From the street, the home presents with the charm of a classic Queenslander, yet its true proportions are revealed as you move through the residence. Designed to cascade with the natural fall of the land, it opens into a far more substantial home than first impressions suggest, with the allotment widening to an impressive 25 metre rear boundary.
Overlooking this expansive rear portion is a thoughtfully designed modern extension, seamlessly integrated with the original home to create a grand residence that combines character, scale, and contemporary family living.
A standout feature is the expansive downstairs living area, where huge floor-to-ceiling windows capture beautiful northern light and frame a stunning outlook across the landscaped yard, creating an immediate sense of space, warmth, and connection to the outdoors. Grand 2900mm ceilings across both levels further enhance the home's scale and natural light, while the downstairs living spaces are finished with large designer travertine floor tiles, adding warmth, texture, and a distinctly premium feel.
At the heart of the home, a light-filled open plan kitchen, dining, and living zone connects effortlessly to the covered entertainer's deck and solar-heated swimming pool, creating a true Queensland lifestyle setting. Beyond the pool, a dedicated fire pit zone with built-in seating offers an inviting space to gather, perfect for cosy nights with friends or family through the cooler months.
Upstairs, five generous bedrooms and a second living area provide excellent separation for growing families. The master suite is notably spacious and privately positioned, creating a genuine parent's retreat, while remaining on the same level as the other bedrooms for those who value being close to their children. Completing the picture, the landscaped backyard offers a level grassed area and spacious play zone for kids, making this a home that balances everyday practicality with standout lifestyle appeal.
