Situated in the semi-rural town of Kingsthorpe and just 20 minutes to Toowoomba is this terrific 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom family home, on 2 levels. Set on an easy to maintain 3978 square metre allotment, with elevated views towards Gowrie Mountain, this pleasing residence is a peaceful retreat for the whole family. Kingsthorpe State School is a stroll away, and the IGA, Kingsthorpe Medical, Gowrie Hotel and post office are all handy in this close-knit community.

Upstairs and extending across the full front of the home is a broad covered verandah, where the sweeping rural vista can be enjoyed. Inside, the home is in excellent condition with brand new carpets and fresh paint. The timber firebox and lovely polished timber floors provide a cosy country atmosphere in the open plan, air-conditioned living /dining room and kitchen. The modern country kitchen has smart appliances, clean lines and loads of stylish bench space. The separate, light-filled adjoining lounge has carpet and sliding doors opening onto the verandah. All 4 built-in bedrooms are also carpeted, and the main bedroom enjoys access onto the verandah, a walk-in robe, separate air-conditioner and a very smart ensuite. The tidy main bathroom has a separate toilet and is tucked in beside the laundry, which leads to a north facing deck. Throughout this lovely family home are ceiling fans and security screens on the windows and doors.

Downstairs is a bonus teenager’s retreat (large enough for a bed and living area), with an independent entrance and a serviceable bathroom. The lower level also has a secure triple garage and attached workshop. Outside there is a rainwater tank and a 400-litre solar hot water system.

With solar electricity, this affordable and easy to maintain home, with its rural aspect, strong community and convenient access to The Western Corridor and Toowoomba, has much to offer the growing family.
