Nestled in a quiet Cul-de-sac, this highset Queenslander has period features to please the purist – high ceilings, polished floor boards, a rustic kitchen and a wonderful warm feeling to the home. But with many modern conveniences like AEG appliances, more storage than you will believe, reverse cycle air-con, double roof insulation and a 1.6kw solar system, this home has a very comfortable feel.
With 5 bedrooms plus a study there’s room for the ever-growing list of family and friends that are likely to come over for the afternoon swim and a BBQ and end up staying for the weekend.
The home has many areas for you to enjoy in solitude, whether it’s taking time out on the front veranda or the rear deck overlooking the pool and leafy back yard, curling up with a good book in the upstairs lounge, or enjoying a good movie downstairs.
Our owners have made an offer on another property and want this property sold.
The secluded and peaceful back yard has an allure all of its own. The current owners have enjoyed some of the fruits of their labour, but you will enjoy them for many years to come with paw paw, banana, fig and lime trees along with lemonade, grapefruit, lemon and mango trees all flourishing on the property – what can only be described as a tropical delight that attracts regular visits from kookaburras, rosellas and lorikeets.
Close to the Brisbane Golf Club, The Queensland Tennis Centre and the Brisbane River, but unaffected by the 2011 and 1974 floods, this prime Yeerongpilly address is surrounded by beautiful vast parklands, council pool, private and state primary and high schools and a C & K centre at the doorstep. Yet only a 7km drive to the CBD, a 9km bike path ride or 18 minutes train ride to Roma street, or less than 30 minutes drive to the airport, you are very well connected. You might just find yourself singing along to Geoff Mack’s 1962 Australian classic “I’ve been everywhere man” which features Yeerongpilly in the final chorus.
The street name of “Albemarle”, as per the “ Kabalarian Philosophy”, evokes happiness and a love of home and family. Affection, generosity and an expressive nature are further Albemarle traits and this house is the epitome of why the street was given this charming name.
