Set on an elevated 787m2 corner block in one of Mitchelton’s most desirable locations, this gorgeous family home is a dream come true for any discerning home buyer. Tastefully renovated to suit modern family requirements while still retaining the character and style of the original 1950 double-brick construction. The design of the home combines the California Bungalow fundamentals with touches of Spanish Mission and Art Deco accents to craft a charming environment that is both attractive and versatile for year-round Queensland entertaining.
As you enter the home from the wrap-around north facing verandah, your eyes will be drawn to the warm hardwood floors, ornate cornices, and beautiful ceiling roses throughout the home. The spacious formal dining room is complete with a sparkling original chandelier and sliding double-hung windows, filling the space with natural light and ventilation. The wrought-iron fireplace sits in a central sitting room and leads into the luxurious modern kitchen and a huge family room. The double-brick construction perfectly insulates the home and means the two split system air conditioners have no trouble cooling the ample living space all summer.
The real heart of any family home is its kitchen, and set along a wall of double-hung windows with an abundance of natural light, this generous custom-built kitchen perfectly matches the outstanding quality of this home. The hard-wearing two-pack cabinetry is complemented by a large island benchtop topped with an Australian Blackbutt hardwood benchtop finished with marine-grade satin protection. The quality continues with stainless steel European appliances and a gas cooktop that will delight even the most particular home chef as will the combination of Steam oven and separate conventional over perfect for creating huge feasts when entertaining.
The bright master bedroom is the perfect retreat for busy parents, with charming French windows opening to the deck outside. The spacious ensuite has a full-size shower and modern vanity, as well as tasteful subway tiles and large windows for ventilation while totally private from mature Yukkas in the garden bed outside. Perfect for a growing family, both bedrooms two and three are big enough for a queen-size bed and a desk for studying teenagers and have built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. Bedroom four is a bright and airy space for either a tremendous home office or a cozy child’s bedroom. The newly renovated central bathroom would be at home in the glossy pages of a home styling magazine with modern tiles in the large shower, as well as a modern vanity with a frameless mirror.
The sparkling saltwater pool is the perfect place to cool off this summer, while the manicured lawns are the perfect place for the kids to play. The hardwood raised garden bed by the front steps is an abundant kitchen garden already producing crops of chilies and greens for a summer salad.
