That distinction starts before the front door. Across from leafy parkland, a substantial rendered facade rises behind a secure perimeter, its crisp white finish sharpened by deep grey detailing across the garage, gutters, pillars and entry. Four commanding columns frame the upper balcony, glass balustrading brings a contemporary edge, and the scale is unmistakably Carindale. Solid. Generous. Built in an era when family homes were expected to have presence, now thoroughly renovated for what families expect today.
Upstairs is light, bright and beautifully resolved. Fresh neutral interiors create an easy backdrop for living, while recently laid carpet adds softness through the bedroom wing. Three built-in bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study sit alongside the main kitchen, dining and lounge, giving this level everything it needs to operate as a complete home in its own right.
And there are two very different outlooks to choose from. Out front, the balcony looks across the park, a particularly lovely spot for that first quiet coffee of the morning with birds in the trees and the occasional local koala making an appearance. To the rear, another balcony turns towards the pool and garden below.
Then downstairs changes the conversation entirely.
One home. Two kitchens. More than one way to live here.
With two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a fully built-out kitchenette downstairs, the lower level introduces genuine flexibility. Adult children finding their feet. Grandparents close, but with independence. Long-term guests who can properly settle in. A teenage retreat. Or, subject to the relevant approvals, the potential to explore an income-producing arrangement. The infrastructure is here for a household that doesn't necessarily fit neatly into one definition of family.
Outside, the recent improvements continue. Completed approximately two years ago, the mineral swimming pool by Wahoo Pools sits among tropical greenery, with broad-leaf palms bringing softness and an increasing sense of privacy as the garden matures. There is still a level grassed area for children or pets, plus a garden shed for the practical things.
It feels finished because, largely, it is. The main renovation was completed around three years ago, followed by the front, garage, deck and pool works approximately a year later. The result respects the proportions and solidity of the original home while bringing its finishes, functionality and lifestyle firmly forward.
Then comes the reason the current owners chose this pocket in the first place: location.
Westfield Carindale is around a five-minute walk away, putting shopping, dining, cinemas, groceries and the major bus interchange remarkably close. Parkland and walking trails begin virtually opposite, while the wider Bulimba Creek bikeway network and Minnippi Parklands add kilometres of green space and recreation nearby. The address sits within the Belmont State School and Whites Hill State College catchments, with Whites Hill also offering its sought-after French Immersion program.
All of this, approximately 10 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD, with convenient Gateway Motorway connections to the airport, bayside and wider southeast.
