Why we LOVE 20 Tait Street…
- The lovely street appeal – The first thing that strikes you about no. 20 Tait Street is the manicured box hedges & beautifully painted timber gate making a welcome entry to the property. The home itself plays homage to everything we love about the original Queenslander with its painted façade that complements the extra high carport and welcoming front porch
- The spacious, freshly painted light-filled interiors – With its generous proportions to all living areas, high ceilings & abundant windows & doorway openings, this home is flooded with natural light & designed for excellent passive cooling & airflow. The current owners have given the interiors a new lease of life with a fresh coat of paint in a timeless neutral colour scheme
- Low maintenance living – The combination of beautifully polished original timber floors & tiled flooring makes this home a breeze to maintain & is excellent for those with allergies and pets too! Throwdown some gorgeous rugs, as the existing owners have done, for warmth when desired underfoot & to complement your preferred décor
- The extremely versatile floor plan – The main part of the home consists of 3 bedrooms (the king-sized master bedroom is separate to the minor bedrooms for privacy), a multi-purpose room at the front of the home that would make a great home office or reading room, a generous living room, separate dining room, country style kitchen, family-sized bathroom with new toilet & a covered timber deck, the perfect shady spot for a quiet cuppa or breakfast alfresco. What makes this home unique & so versatile is the additional attached living area built on a concrete slab on the same level as the backyard. This part of the home is entered as you step down from the kitchen & dining room. Fully tiled, it consists of a very large laundry, small games room, 4th bedroom/guest room/teen retreat with glass sliding door access to the backyard, & an additional semi-enclosed room that could be used as an office, sewing/craft room, gym area, music room or 5th bedroom. This area is serviced by a second toilet with the opportunity to add on another full bathroom
- The solid timber kitchen – Positioned centrally to offer clear access to the dining room & covered deck, the kitchen features laminate benchtops, loads of storage, a wider than average fridge recess, stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher, large freestanding Smeg gas oven & 4-burner gas cooktop) & a country style timber island bench
- The tropical oasis-like backyard & resort-style pool – Featuring lovely, well established tropical landscaping, a gorgeous tropical concrete/pebbletex pool with brand new filter & chlorinator & plenty of lawn area for a swing set, cubby house & play area for the kids & family dog, the backyard feels like stepping into a private oasis. There’s also a fabulous extra-large powered & fully tiled lean-to off the shed, adjacent to the pool, the perfect spot for relaxed family BBQs or pool-side entertaining. And with no rear neighbours, your privacy is assured
- The shed/workshop with separate double-gate access – Accessible via the park corridor to the rear of the property, the shed is large enough for ample storage & a workshop area to tinker away in
- Thermal comfort – There’s a split system air conditioner to the master bedroom, bed 2 and bed 4/teen retreat while a larger split system air conditioner services the living zones. Most rooms also have a ceiling fan
