DUAL LIVING/OFFICE under ONE ROOF on 1/4 ACRE BLOCK

Area Description:
The beautiful home is located in Burpengary QLD (half an hour drive north of Brisbane CBD). It is located in in a quiet street and only minutes to coffee shops, library, Post Office, Woolworths, Coles, Schools and petrol stations and only 200m to a bus stop and minutes away from the Bruce Highway. Everything you need is within reach.

We are lucky to be in a street where our neighbours help look after each others houses.
In the past few years with all the rain and floods that Queenslander’s received, our area was completely unaffected by any water or weather damage. With good neighbours, a quiet street that is safe enough for the kids to play on the road and close to just about everything you would need, this location is well suited to any family.

The Property:
What this property offers is unique to the area. It is effectively two houses under one roof. The main dwelling is a four (4) bedroom home and on the other side is a completely self-contained flat. Whether you’re looking for a teenage retreat or a separate living area for elderly parents, this house can cater to both.

Dividing the two homes was originally a huge double garage, which has now been converted into a large well-appointed office where you could easily run a small business from home. No need to battle peak hour traffic when you work from home; just grab your cup of coffee and walk a few hundred metres to your desk.
The home is on a acre (1000 sq/m) fully fenced (1800mm high) with colour bond fencing on both sides as well as surrounding a secluded courtyard in front of the granny flat. There is timber fencing at the rear with double gate access to the block from the back easement. It is safe for and secure for both young children and your canine family members.
The backyard is grassed and approximately half the yard is a veggie garden with heaps of veggies, you cant get better than that! We are currently growing sweet potatoes, asparagus and other vegetables, plus avocadoes, lemon tree, lime tree, bananas, fig tree, mango tree, nectarine, olive tree and more. Don’t settle for unripe tasteless veggies from the supermarket when you can grow your own full flavoured and pesticide free produce.

Property Features:
The home has much to offer any family especially if you are environmentally minded. Below are the features that make this home something you dont want to overlook or miss out on.
Parking this property has two (2) driveways, one a double car space with a double carport.
16,000 litre rainwater tank connected with a Davey Pump to 2 door taps, main house toilet and ensuite toilet and also the main house laundry. Worried about the quality of your family’s drinking water? There’s no need. The rainwater tank has also been connected directly to the main house kitchen sink tap via a filter so you can drink fresh, filtered rainwater straight from your kitchen tap. This can also easily be changed back over to town water.
2 kW Solar System installed and currently connected to only the main house. It reduces your electricity bill substantially, if not completely. Our last bill was only $40.00. Currently we are receiving about $0.41c per kW we are returning back to the grid, so during the long summer hours of sunlight you can easily have a zero power bill. The system also allows for extra panels to be added to increase your return and even get money back on your power. You’ve read the news reports on how power prices are going to surge that won’t be a problem to you if you own this house.
Fully insulated ceilings in both house and granny flat. Granny flat has extra insulation directly under roof. You’ll be cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Two roof top whirly birds to help keep the house cooler in the hot summer months.
