This impressive 2 story, colonial style home is over 40 squares and has been built on a 1631m2 block in Kimberley Plateau, arguably the most exclusive part of Shailer park. The home has been constructed of period stone with colourbond roofing, allowing for some sensational bull nose verandas the full length of the house, both front and back

Approaching the house from the street we find a classical timber staircase leading up to the full length balcony and large 1 ½ times front door with inlaid leadlight panelling introducing that air of real class.
As we enter the property, the highly polished timber floors that meander through the home are the first thing to grab you. To the left of the front door is a grand timber staircase that lead down to the ground floor.
The whole house has been cleverly designed with the family quarters on one side of the house and the living areas on the other overlooking the natural beauty and peace of the Venman State Forest.
To the right of the front door is good sized room that lends itself to either a formal dining area or a convenient office, right next to the front door, overlooking the front balcony.
Beyond this, following a corridor with masses of storage space, are two carpeted bedrooms, a large second bedroom with quadruple built in wardrobes, and a sensational master bedroom with an enormous walk in wardrobe and equally large, new, en suite, complete with a glass screened shower, exelair and double vanity. The master bedroom covers the whole width of the house.
The master bedroom has a new ensuite and walk in wardrobe, with views to the forest and egress onto the balcony and BBQ area, which overlooks the pool.
To the left of the front door is a third upstairs bedroom, this time with the polished timber floors, triple built in wardrobes, venetians and security screens. Next to this is the extra large, colonial style, main bathroom, with claw foot bath, a glass screened shower, a lovely timber vanity and exelair. There is also a separate toilet adjacent.
On the other side of the house facing the Venman forest is an enormous open plan family room / kitchen, with polished timber floors and sensational views.
The new kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a 5 burner gas cooktop, stone benchtops and masses of storage space. Amazing views from the kitchen delight the chef.
Next to this area is a formal lounge with a wood burning stove, cosy in those cold winter months, which shares the forest views and tranquillity.
From any of the public areas we can access a full length covered balcony with a covered hexagonal gazebo with 2.4m sides, enough for the largest party.
As well as benefitting from the outstanding views across to the forest, the balcony and gazebo overlook the 11m x 6m, salt water pool with , allowing parents to keep a watchful eye on anyone taking a cooling dip. There is also a set of stairs leading from the balcony directly to the pool area.
As stunning as it is, the 1st floor is only half of this amazing home.
The timber stairs next to the front door lead down to the ground floor area. Here we find a double, remote garage with a huge workshop and gym to the rear.
On this level are bedrooms 4 and 5, both newly carpeted with built in wardrobes, and a two way bathroom, making it ideal as a teenage retreat, or the basis of a complete second living area.
There is also a laundry here with external access.
To the other side of this, taking up almost ½ the floor space of the house, is the beginnings of a full scale 2nd living area. The current owners have already had the areas plumbed in preparation for development. This is a “blank canvass” for anyone who is looking to continue the quality of the main home into a second living area.
At the rear of the house, as well as the large fully fenced pool, there is a well established garden which seems to blend seamlessly into the natural bushland of the Venman National Park.
This sophisticated home has ducted air conditioning and vacuumaid throughout, cable internet, Foxtel and has high, fully insulated ceilings
The home is set in a quiet circuit in one of the top quality enclaves of Shailer Park surrounded by Venman Bushland, Kimberley Forest Park and Cornubia Forest, yet the Logan Hyperdome is less than 5 minutes drive with hundreds of shops, restaurants, cinema’s and of course the large Logan Bus Interchange, offering services all over Brisbane.
Access to the M1 and Ipswich Motorways is only minutes away, putting the CBD, Gold Coast or western suburbs less than ½ hours travel. Even Brisbane Airport is a mere 25 minutes freeway driving. In addition to this, the fisherman’s paradise of Moreton Bay is less than 1/2 hour away.
For the kids, Dreamworld, Movieworld and Wet n Wild are only 20 minutes down the freeway. Why not buy an annual pass?
This is a rare opportunity to buy an executive style home in such a convenient area.
