Perched above the street in beautiful, leafy surrounds, this two-storey Queensland character home might be just the one you and your family have been yearning for. Architecturally designed, it offers a superb blend of modern finishes and classic, character charm to create a remarkably inviting and comfortable place to call home.
With landscaped and manicured gardens, a considered layout, multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, a light-filled home office, abundant storage, a hidden reading cubby for your little ones, and dual-street frontage providing exceptional convenience, there is just so much to love about this home.
Positioned just down the road from both Brisbane Boys' College and the Queensland Academy of Science, Mathematics and Technology, parents of students at either school need look no further. Lovers of coffee and baked goods will delight at the ease of access to Riser Bakery, just two doors down. For families with older children, The University of Queensland is just over 3km by road and Toowong Village and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre are both just a short drive away.
The upper level and original part of the home retains the character features Queenslanders are renowned and rejoiced for; VJs, lofty ceilings, double-hung windows and hardwood flooring. Converted to an open-plan layout, with an abundance of windows, the natural flow of the home allows light and breezes to permeate throughout.
The spacious and sophisticated kitchen is adorned with expansive waterfall stone benchtops, window splashback, soft-close cabinetry, and European appliances including a Siemens induction cooktop and an integrated V-Zug dishwasher. It's a wonderful space from which to watch the kids play in the yard, or have a heart-to-heart with them over the breakfast bar.
From the kitchen, full-length bi-fold windows and French doors open out onto what is arguably the centrepiece of the home - the entertaining deck. Fully covered and kitted out with an Artusi barbecue, Siemens oven, Husky bar fridge and an industrial-sized Qasair exhaust hood, this is sure to be a place where you'll make treasured memories. It overlooks the level yard, which is sure to host some spirited backyard cricket, footy, or just the simple joy of playing under a sprinkler. At the rear and most elevated part of the block, your kids will undoubtedly relish toasting marshmallows in the fire pit on winter evenings, and it's easy to imagine yourself sharing special moments with close friends up there late into the evening.
On the lower level, you'll enjoy air-conditioning in every room, 2.7m-high ceilings, polished concrete flooring, a spacious and light-filled family room and a brilliant home office, lined by casement windows, with clever and functional finishes that will make working from home an absolute pleasure. It also hosts the master bedroom, with over 5m of built-in wardrobes, and a stunning 'His and Hers' ensuite. The final bedroom is sure to be a favourite, with its secret reading cubby built in underneath the stairs. It's a delightful space where your children can relax, nourish their minds and just be kids.
The main garage is almost 4m high internally, affording rare vertical storage space and providing direct access into the home. Similarly rare is the two-street frontage, with the rear double-carport accessed via Ballara Lane and equipped with a sliding automatic gate.
There is no shortage of storage here, with several rooms offering floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, as well as external storage space, including underneath the deck. It has 3-phase power, an abundance of power outlets, and the mains power runs underground meaning no unsightly telegraph poles out the front. There's also a 3000L custom-built and fitted rain-water tank with pump to keep that yard looking its best, and the home is fully-fenced.
There's so much to love about this home. It's close to other great schools such as St Ignatius, St Peters, Stuartholme, Indooroopilly State High School, and is surrounded by parks, cafes and nature. Don't let this one pass you by!!
