Calming, spacious, private. With a design that nurtures the soul by perfectly capturing the never to be built out views of its bushland backdrop, wake up to birdsong, take a dip in the pool and step onto the deck to entertain in most tranquil surroundings. This home offers versatility and style, with a choice of refined family living, media and office/study options across both levels, European kitchen appliances and ultra-luxurious bathroom inclusions all set on a low maintenance 405m2 allotment in a premier locale.
With an abundance of glass allowing loads of natural light and breezes to fill and freshen internal spaces, volume creating high ceilings and an ideal east-north-east aspect toward the adjoining treed reserve, the layout of this residence will impress visiting guests and provide purpose, comfort and contentment to those who live here, daily.
Modern and immaculately presented, enter the wide hallway and walk across high gloss, large format porcelain floor tiles through to the central living areas. Distinct lounge and dining spaces are edged by glass stacker doors that open onto to the timber deck with a soaring double height roofline above. Bathe in the morning sunlight while enjoying breakfast and that all important first coffee. What a great spot to sit and plan the day ahead.
It’s just a few steps down to the pool area where a perfectly sized, and very private, plunge pool is framed by glass fencing. The terrace is covered in easy-care artificial grass requiring next to no upkeep.
In colours of soft latte, greys and espresso, the kitchen is perfectly equipped for those who love to cook and entertain. Streamlined, aluminium edged, soft-close cabinet doors and drawers with deep storage and clever concertina overhead cupboards work with functionality and sleek styling. A central island servery and breakfast bar, 30mm wide engineered stone benchtops, glass splashback, plumbed in fridge space and a combined butler’s pantry/appliance and laundry room add versatility, bench space and convenient storage for those extra items that you cannot live without.
For the modern cook, appreciate the European Blanco stainless steel combination oven plus steam oven and separate built-in microwave set within the wall at a perfect height, Blanco canopy rangehood and a Bosch five burner induction hob and dishwasher.
Work from home, run your own business or turn the ground floor office into a separate living, teenager’s gaming or media area or even a guest suite for when extended family arrive. An adjacent powder room provides convenient bathroom amenities on this level. All bathrooms have porcelain tiles from floor to ceiling, coupled with contemporary fixtures, premium fittings and highly polished chrome tapware.
The upper level of this residence is access by a turnaround timber staircase with semi-open stringers and glass and stainless-steel feature balustrade. The high ceilings continue throughout with taller than standard door openings making the accommodation level feel incredibly spacious, while a generous study nook provides a quiet reading, play and work area away from the busier main living areas of the home.
With clever window placement and blinds enabling privacy from the street, a large separate living room on the upper floor delivers a children’s retreat and play area, potential home theatre space, music room or additional bedroom accommodation, such is the adaptability.
A 1200mm wide door leads to the parent’s suite at the opposite end of the hall, an indulgent resting, dressing and bathing space which looks directly out to the nature reserve and the poolside terrace below. Perfectly private from neighbouring properties, sleep with the blinds wide open and catch the moonlight, watch the trees sway in the breeze and wake refreshed to natural light. Floor to ceiling porcelain tiles adorn the very large ensuite, with double basin vanity and walk-in shower featuring niches, dual shower head fittings and mixer taps. Enjoy a long soak and some relaxing ‘me time’ in the luxurious freestanding bath while you look out through the treetops.
Three further spacious built-in bedrooms on this level share a true family-sized bathroom including another oval freestanding bath. The three separate bathroom zones that every family wants and needs, make the morning rush a whole lot easier.
Secure accommodation for two vehicles is provided in the double garage with remote operated door, plus additional off-street driveway parking is available for extra family members’ cars. A fully ducted and zoned air-conditioning system to the entire home maintains comfortable temperatures year-round.
The Ironside neighbourhood is highly desired; a premium location that suits professionals and executives due to its close 5km proximity to the CBD. With fantastic shopping and dining at Toowong and Indooroopilly, a choice of golf courses nearby and easy access to the Western Freeway and Coronation Drive, lifestyle and convenience go hand in hand.
Families with younger children will relish the amenity, with the C & K St Lucia Kindergarten and Ironside State School a two-minute walk away. Highly regarded institutions such as the private P-12 St Peters Lutheran College and Indooroopilly State High School for secondary students are both within a four-minute drive of this address, while young adults studying at the University of Queensland can walk 15 minutes into the campus or catch a direct bus nearby.
