Resplendent in appearance but contemporary where it counts, this grand yet simple residence rests atop a 784m2 block situated in the heart of inner city Clayfield. Spread across one substantial level, this home is perfect for a family with small children or teenagers, but is also ideal for those looking to downsize to a low maintenance home, packed with mod cons.

Perfect for the entertainer in the family, the entrance to the home gives way to its proudest feature a large, breezy deck, with a hidden BBQ, complete with built in extraction fan, which hugs the side of the house and perches over the fabulous 20m lap pool, which also has a large plunge area for the kids and guests. Adjacent to the pool is a cosy tiled outdoor entertaining area with its own sun shade, ideal for those lazy summer afternoons or gorgeous mornings soaking up the winter sun. Entering the main house you’ll find a spacious gourmet kitchen, decked with neutral cabinetry, walk in pantry, Ilve gas 6 burner cooktop and electric oven, Miele dishwasher and a huge marble island bench which anchors the room and acts as a beacon for family and friends to gather. Beside the kitchen is the informal dining area, suitable for a large dining table or smaller, all opening onto the main verandah at the front of the house.

Moving through the home, a cosy sitting room with built in period fireplace complements the original VJ’d walls and picture rails, your eye drawn to the crystal chandelier and decorative plaster ceiling. Walking through French doors to the master, double hung windows and polished pine floors create a warming glow, leading through to the enormous walk in robe and master ensuite, featuring a hidden, recessed shower and toilet.

A stately hallway centres the home, accentuating the 10 foot ceilings, VJ’s and pine polished floor boards. The head of the hall heralds the formal dining room, with plenty of room for a large dining table, again enhanced by the original picture rail, skirtings and crystal chandelier. Leading us further into the heart of the home, a study / fourth bedroom boasts ample built in robes and stunning crisp white timber shutters.

Two more bedrooms peel off the hallway, both very spacious and both with their own French doors leading to a private, undercover verandah, peacefully gazing over the perfectly manicured back yard. The rear of the house is a hidden gem, only rewarding those who dare to venture here. With heaps of room for kids or pets to run, and a cute little back shed, built in the same style as the main house, the rear of the house utilises every inch of the block on offer.

The property is sustained by 4 large water tanks, one of which services the kitchen for use rinsing dishes or washing up. The large laundry, featuring yet more storage cabinetry in quality joinery and classic design, leads onto the side run of the house, which is paved and houses a clothes line and would serve as a perfect spot for the pets or kids bikes.

The home has ducted air throughout and CrimSafe screens on every window. There is more storage than the current owners can use, they are still discovering places to put things!

The features and modern conveniences of this home almost equal its design and class, seamlessly integrating the indoor, outdoor style of living Queensland is so famous for, making living here an absolute pleasure. All of this located within 10 minutes to the city and airport, also within a stone’s throw of the chic caf and restaurant district of Racecourse Road, and within an easy walk of train station and public transport facilities.

This is one not to be missed you’ll kick yourself if you do.
