When you get the balance between character charm and contemporary convenience right the results are brilliant – and this sprawling turn-of-the-century home shows exactly how it’s done!
Top features:
- Modern trims meet character elements like VJ walls, timber fretwork and sandstone
- 408m2 of internal living including four living areas, six bedrooms (2 master suites) and a study nook
- Multiple outdoor entertaining areas plus a cubby house and kids’ play zone
- Fresh paint in and out, new carpet, security system with cameras, 12 A/C’s and solar
- Double garage and single carport, plus loads of additional parking on the extended driveway
The block size (850m2!) is sure to surprise you on inspection as the home has a modest 11-metre frontage and is privately screened by mature gardens. Head up the driveway though and you’ll start to get perspective as the block gradually expands to 25.7 metres across the rear.
A spacious wrap-around porch embraces the home’s entry, with a gorgeous outlook across the front lawn to a pretty garden gazebo – the perfect spot for a table for two.
Inside, the foyer opens into a combined family/dining room and kitchen, with an elegant lounge room opposite, brimming with ornate timber fretwork over the openings. In the kitchen, brand-name appliances abound with a Bosch oven, Westinghouse electric stove and Bellini rangehood.
The family room looks over an enclosed covered patio area with wet bar, ceiling fans and night lighting. This is a brilliant alfresco-style dining space that opens through sliding glass doors to a grassy fenced yard and the dedicated kid’s play zone.
A long bank of cupboards separates the living areas from the laundry, a powder room and an ensuited bedroom with walk-in-robe that would be ideal as a guest bed or for live-in parents.
At the top of a short staircase, a sitting room opens into a studio/rumpus and then an office. The studio has a kitchenette and bathroom, and there’s a cellar next door. With private office access from a pathway off the driveway, you could run a home business from here.
Another staircase off the sitting room takes you to the home’s final level where five big bedrooms surround a large living space, study nook and family bathroom. Two beds have ensuites – including the master, which also has a walk-in-robe and access to a 26m2 covered wrap-around deck – also reached from the living area and one other bed.
The location is every bit as good as the house, with Calamvale Central, Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, city-connecting buses and Gateway Motorway access – all just a short drive away.
It’s hard to understand why you’d leave this incredible home but, the owners are downsizing after many wonderful years leaving the door open for your family to make new memories here.
