This property was not affected by the 2011 floods.
It is with much regret that the owners of this lovely property are selling as they are now empty nesters and retiring. Ten years ago the owners of the wonderful property made their first trip along the secluded driveway and over the bridge, past the little pond and looked up towards the Mediterranean-inspired homestead . and fell in love before even stepping a foot inside.
Ever since, the enchanting home their friends call ‘Kookaburra Park’ has worked its magic on all its visitors, and now is your chance to fall under its spell.
With something for everyone, this 2.5-acre property is packed with features — thriving sustainable gardens and a wildlife haven where wallabies skip past at daybreak and kookaburras feed from your hand — and entertainers will love the versatility that comes with so much space:
* A pool, spa and tennis court — each with their own entertaining areas;
* Multiple verandahs with breezy bushland vistas;
* Spacious living areas, a large modern kitchen and three bathrooms.
Upstairs, the lounge area opens through French doors to a large deck overlooking the pool where your friends will flock to watch native birds feed.
A cosy dining area leads out to another verandah which runs along the front of the property, enjoying easy access to the large country kitchen boasting a double stainless steel oven, built-in microwave, Tasmanian oak cabinetry and abundant storage including a charming display sideboard with shelving and cupboards.
A marble bathroom services the upper level of the home and one of the bedrooms, which features a large wardrobe that has been used as a sewing cupboard, while the master suite enjoys an en-suite with his and hers’ walk-in robes and its own verandah that catches the morning sun.
Downstairs is another large living area with cooling terracotta tiles and a wet bar with built-in storage, perfect for parties leading out to the pool, tennis court and undercover spa with their own pergolas … it’s been the backdrop to many neighbourhood gatherings that have forged friendships and camaraderie in a close-knit community, and ideal for visitors who can stay in the downstairs bedroom with its own en-suite. There is also a fourth bedroom with built-ins currently being used as a study.
And there are even more bonuses including:
* Ducted air-conditioning, ceiling fans throughout and retractable insect blinds;
* A hardy vegetable patch with ready-to-eat herbs and tomatoes, park-like grounds and established gardens;
* Double garage with internal access;
* Plenty of storage with an under-stair cupboard ideal to use as a wine cellar and a garden shed;
* Easy access to school buses which stop on the street; and
* A short drive to shopping hubs in Bellbowrie, Kenmore, Indooroopilly and into the CBD.
This bushland hideaway can be yours . but only if you’re quick.
