Built in the 1940′s, ‘Wallingford’ is reminiscent of an old English manor. Complete with mature country style garden, stone wall fencing and wrought iron gates, it sits proudly on an expansive and elevated 1334m2 corner block in Taringa. Entry into this awe inspiring home is via a cobblestone pathway through grassed gardens and established garden beds to a solid, timber and lead light front door. An inviting formal foyer with ornate soaring ceiling leads through French doors to the main lounge continuing to further living areas and out to a large covered rear entertainment deck with views to Mt Coot-tha.

An extensive use of glass throughout allows a view of elegant landscaped gardens with mature trees and sprawling garden beds wrapping around the lagoon style saltwater pool. A pool side spacious pergola offers one of many external spaces that are perfect for entertaining.
You will enjoy cooking in the country-style kitchen whilst keeping an eye on kids in the pool or out on the deck. With timber cabinetry and black granite benchtops there is also an impressive 6 burner Falcon gas stove and double oven, large pantry and an abundance of storage and space. Also on this level a hallway leads to 3 large bedrooms, a study or sunroom and 2 modern bathrooms. The main bedroom offers plenty of robe space and a modern ensuite with spa bath. French lead light doors lead to a private Juliette balcony whilst adjacent white plantation shutters and timber French doors connect to the entertainment deck.

Downstairs offers an expansive living area with an abundance of glass allowing excellent natural light throughout, a perfect area for the kids to play, with easy access out to the pool. There is an additional fourth bedroom or home office with walk-in robe and two-way ensuite plus a huge laundry. A rear cobblestone courtyard and garden leads to a private air-conditioned studio or fifth garage.
