Architect-designed and only 6 years old, 70 Duke Street is the home you have been looking for. With four generous bedrooms, its own parents’ wing, three bathrooms and a two-car garage with workshop/storage space, no compromise has been made in liveability or quality. Offering gas cooking, over-sized rooms and ducted zoned air-conditioning throughout, it really has it all for someone who just wants to enjoy their surroundings without any work. There is nothing to do but move and enjoy the luxury and location of this home. Be quick to inspect as Kangaroo Point houses are amongst the tightest held anywhere in Brisbane and very few houses of this quality ever hit the market.

At Kangaroo Point it’s all about the lifestyle and this home enjoys the peace and serenity of a private oasis yet lies within walking distance to many of Brisbane’s best cafs, restaurants, fast food, schools, the Gabba, city bus routes, supermarkets and the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. Situated only 3 kilometres from the city centre, it’s so easy to get everywhere, you won’t need to sit in traffic again.

From the moment you enter this outstanding contemporary home, you can feel the cooling ambience evoked by the high quality pristine floor tiles and the Hawaii Ivory Blockout curtains. The whole residence is protected by Clearshield powder-coated stainless steel screens and enjoys ducted air-con throughout. The living room leads to the open-plan kitchen/dining which flows seamlessly to the 19 sq.m. covered alfresco dining area.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream with granite benchtops, stainless steel Ariston oven, 6-burner gas stove top, Ariston dishwasher and distinctive range hood. The arrangement of the culinary layout allows the master chef to create delicious dishes while entertaining guests.

The fourth bedroom-come-study lies on this level as does a full bathroom with proud sink/vanity and flexi-spray showerhead. The downstairs also includes an enormous double-sized laundry with ample storage and an expansive remote control lock-up garage with in-built storage cupboards. This double car space is complemented by two-car off street parking on the driveway and additional residential parking permits are available.

Upstairs lie three generous bedrooms replete with built-in robes and the family bathroom which includes a full-sized bath. Sectioned off from the main hallway behind a separating door lies the magnificent parents’ wing with its own split-cycle airconditioner, private balcony overlooking the Gabba and retractable, electronic block out grill ensuring blackout on the sunniest of days. This retreat also comes with its own ensuite and spacious walk-in robe.
