Fabulous views of green hills and wondrous sunsets from a happy, 1916 Queenslander in excellent condition. Top of town location in one of the best streets. 180 views to North can’t be built out. It’s a stones throw to Kilcoy Golf Course, and 5-10 minutes walk to shops, library and schools. Being at the top of the hill, the house gets the afternoon summer breezes.
 
The house is on a sloping 2990sq m. (half acre) block with established gardens, veggie beds and mature fruit trees (mango, fig, persimmon, macadamia and more). Trees all round give reasonable privacy from neighbours, but there’s no overshadowing of the house. There’s great potential to subdivide at the bottom of the yard, completely screened from the main house. This is where you can get a good night’s sleep in a quiet area, or see millions of stars at night.
 
The large back deck is new, and ideal for entertaining. There’s room in the garden for a swimming pool. Eco features include 2 rainwater tanks, 1Kw grid-connected photovoltaic system and solar hot water. All are less than 3 years old. Water and power-saving devices installed throughout the house. The 1Kw system has saved over $100/quarter in power bills. The insulated roof was replaced in 2007.
 
Walls are VJ throughout except in the bathroom and sleepout. 3m ceilings are also mostly VJ. There are decorative cutout fanlights over 3 doors. Wide, golden floorboards were finished with clear acrylic satin finish to minimise outgassing. There are no fixed carpets. The four sets of French doors are original. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms, lounge and kitchen. The sleepout is airconditioned and has external awnings and a door to the screened area of the front verandah. Heavy, transparent plastic blinds on the front verandah can be rolled up or put down when it’s raining. All windows and doors have flyscreens, and most have metal awnings for protection from hail. Last pest inspection was in March with no problems detected.
 
The kitchen is older style, but the gas stove was replaced in 2007. There’s good kitchen storage, and a decent linen cupboard in the bathroom, which was renovated in 2007. The spacious bathroom has a shower over the bathtub, a large vanity and medicine cupboard above, and toilet. The laundry tub is under the house where there’s also plenty of room for storage, along with parking for a small car or bikes. There’s room to extend underneath. A larger car could be parked under the deck area.
 
This house is perfect for a family or couple who want peace and quiet, lots of sun, space to relax in or subdivide for extra income. Viewing by appointment only.
