Panoramic suburban views and a wonderfully elevated, tranquil corner location are among the appealing qualities that will attract families to this impeccably maintained and well-presented four-bedroom home.
The natural welcoming warmth of a gorgeous American Colonial inspired design is combined with shady Queensland style wrap-around verandahs to fulfill the dream of an indulgent family lifestyle just 15-20 minutes from Brisbane’s CBD.
Nestled into a locality of other up-market properties, it has been imaginatively designed for functional and stylish family living with impressively proportioned rooms and many upgraded luxury inclusions.
Conveniently located in a family-oriented neighbourhood with a well-developed local infrastructure, the home is close to schools, close to transport and handy to a variety of shopping centres.
Unexpected highlights include a new Caesar stone kitchen with top-of-the-range Bosch appliances and a cosy fireplace. There is also the luxurious comfort of ducted air-conditioning throughout, supplemented by ceiling fans and the safety of an electronic security system and security grilles.
A marvelous feature for enjoying the great South-East Queensland tradition of relaxed al fresco dining/entertaining is the fabulous north-facing “outdoor room” overlooking a fully-fenced natural-form swimming pool.
The well laid out floor plan provides a choice of living and entertaining options for both formal and casual events – all connected to the inspiring and creative culinary workspace of the custom designed kitchen, which forms the hub of the home.
In short, this is a home that is well designed and perfectly located for both entertaining and a comfortable, relaxed family lifestyle.
Surrounded by a custom built fence, a generous front yard provides a wonderful private setting for an enchanting, traditional style of house design. It is beautifully embellished with lush lawns, beds of colourful flowering plants and a delightful ‘viewing platform’ beneath a natural timber gazebo.
An impressive introduction to the interior is an oversize solid timber door flanked by privacy glass panels and a dramatic gabled entry which soars to double ceiling height.
Inside, a soft palette of colours conveys a delightful aura of calm and serenity. Elegant and stylish, the luxury carpeted formal living areas create an aesthetically pleasing environment for entertaining while the large open plan family, kitchen and meal areas provide a welcoming family meeting place at the heart of the home. A bay window feature along with quality timber flooring adds warmth and character to the relaxed living areas. A fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere during chilly winter evenings.
The sleek and stylish kitchen, well designed for culinary creativity, features a generous amount of taupe laminate cabinetry, beautifully contrasted with Caesar stone benchtops, stone mosaic features and peak quality Bosch stainless steel appliances. A large bi-fold viewing window to the fully fenced poolside entertaining area allows parents to keep a watchful eye on children. The open window space also functions as a servery to the signature lifestyle feature – a delightful north-facing entertaining courtyard.
The staircase, fitted with mirror finish hardwood treads and rich timber balustrading, create a warm welcome to the upper level. Located near the entry, it is a showpiece introduction that sets the tone of style and elegance for the rest of the home. Built in under the stairs is a very accessible computer nook ideal for the home computer.
Moving upstairs to the carpeted private accommodation, the master suite boasts a vibrant violet toned feature wall, private balcony via wide-bodied French doors, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
Bedrooms two and three feature built-in wardrobes while bedroom four (or the teen retreat) opens via sliding doors to a broad lounging/entertaining deck. Clear cafe blinds provide aesthetically appealing and effective protection from the elements for all-weather enjoyment.
The turquoise themed family bathroom features the luxury of a spa bath.
Additional features of the property include a two-car remote controlled garage and rainwater tank.
In summary, it is the combination of position, convenience, design and quality that makes this an exceptionally attractive home - master-planned for family lifestyle success.
