Fully air-conditioned and freshly repainted throughout, this contemporary inner-city residence set amongst the colonials combines location with practicality and features rare, off-street parking for three vehicles. Interiors boast open plan living with raked ceilings above, north-facing clerestory windows for added light and bifold doors connecting directly to an expansive, entertaining deck. Elevated with mountain views, this secure, ultra-low upkeep abode, only 2km from the CBD and placed within the catchment for Kelvin Grove State College, will appeal to families, city-based professionals and those who enjoy the freedom of frequent travel.

Rich with the colour and warmth of timber, hard-wearing, sustainable bamboo floors flow through the living, dining and kitchen spaces on the uppermost level, with well-maintained hardwoods used at the landing to the home’s entry and on both the upper and lower, covered decks.

For those that pursue relaxation or maybe entertain friends on a regular basis, the main entertaining deck, which almost mirrors the size of the living and dining zones, will hold an outdoor lounge as well as a table from which to enjoy alfresco dining as the sun sets in the background. Retractable insect screens and roller blinds protect and shade the home’s interiors.

The kitchen is well laid out and has ample cabinet storage, featuring solid stone benchtop surfaces with glass splashbacks, Blanco stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. There is a four-burner gas cooktop with a canopy rangehood above, a wall oven and a dishwasher.

This home is cleverly designed, having bedroom accommodation and utility areas on the lower level, away from living and entertaining spaces. All bedrooms have split-system air-conditioning and three of the four have built-in wardrobes and remain whisper-quiet thanks to double-glazed windows.

Of good size, the master suite opens onto a full-width deck overlooking the terraced garden and has a walk-in robe and deluxe ensuite with a frameless glass shower. The ensuite, family bathroom with deep bath and upstairs powder room are all finished to the same high standard, with a continuation of tiles, fixtures and fittings used throughout.

The residence’s modern styling and colours blend effortlessly into the urban landscape, with high, corrugated-iron and butted timber fencing design delivering a safe backyard that is perfect for children and pets. Security screens have been installed on windows and doors and there is a gate on one side of the property to enable access to the low maintenance backyard fitted with an irrigation system fed by the large water tanks.

Providing an oversized double garage with a wall of inbuilt cupboards, a cavernous, securely enclosed under-house workshop and garden equipment storage area and the addition of an open-air parking bay for guests, your work trailer, a boat or caravan, this allotment makes the most of its 435m2 footprint.

In a quiet corner of Red Hill that sees very little traffic, the location is exceptional, being only 120m from a city-bound bus stop, with local amenities, a choice of restaurants, Enoggera Terrace’s gourmet delicacies and the Red Hill Cinemas less than a 10-minute walk away. Arterials are close at hand, allowing easy connections and reduced travel times across Greater Brisbane.

This address sits in the P-6 catchment for Petrie Terrace State School and Kelvin Grove State College for students in Year 7 and above. Inner-city private schools situated along Gregory Terrace are just a short bus ride away. Central to Paddington, Ashgrove, Newmarket and The Barracks’ extensive retail and dining precincts, the convenience and level of amenities are outstanding.
