Are you dreaming of living in a character family home set on an inner City 1012m2 (1/4 acre) allotment that offers the winning combination of a ridge top location with panoramic harbour and mountain views together with the sheer convenience of living an inner City lifestyle?

Then look no further than this one-off design commissioned by the owners, comprising a tri level low maintenance brick residence (approx 335sqm under roof) that boasts soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams throughout the upper level and beautiful Tassie Oak flooring and bay window features on two of the levels.

You’ll be able to sit back and relax in the upper level airy and spacious living areas that have plenty of windows and sliding glass doors to take in the many moods of the expansive harbour and mountain views. The roof pitch in relation to the front patio has been designed to provide that extra protection from the western sun and thus making for a great private spot to just relax at end of day while taking in the magnificent winter sunsets over the distant mountain ranges, picturesque Auckland Creek and surrounding Marina parkland. Similarly, this is a splendid location for those lazy weekend breakfasts. The top back deck is used daily by the owners for an afternoon glass of wine while overlooking the port activity, harbour, and long views to distant hills and ranges, and also for admiring the occasional crimson sunrises over the harbour and outer islands.

This 5-bedroom one owner home was designed with a teenage family in mind, and the existing room layout lends itself to many different configurations.

The current configuration provides for 5 air conditioned bedrooms (with extra high ceilings and fanlights) plus bathroom plus W/C plus under stair storage area on the middle (road access) level. 3 bedrooms have direct access to the panoramic views from the back deck on the middle level, and the master bedroom has a bay window. On the upper level, there is a lounge room with bay window, huge living room/ recreation room, kitchen, separate dining room, and second bathroom, with all rooms except bathroom having direct access to front veranda and/ or back deck. With this option, all living areas are located on the top level to maximise the stunning all-round harbour and town views. On the bottom level, there is a huge laundry and large lockup workshop.

Another configuration for prospective purchasers could involve the current master bedroom on the middle level becoming a lounge/ rumpus room for teenage children for entertaining, while parents relocate to the privacy of the upper level to a room with huge floor area, bay window, direct access to the panoramic views from the top level back deck and direct access to the views from the front veranda, and scope for private library and/ or study.

There are many other prospective room configurations available, all easily achievable and only limited by the imagination.

Meal preparation will be a breeze in the country style kitchen that features a timber fit out, walk in pantry, stainless steel gas cooking appliance and convenience of a double drawer stainless steel dishwasher.

While there is 4-car accommodation available at the front of the home there is two-gate access to the secure backyard and the great bonus of a double-bay colorbond shed plus double carport under the same roof awaiting the eager hobbyist.

To complete the picture, this Auckland Hill address offers all the convenience of living within walking distance of City restaurants, CQU University, City Theatre, Marina, Schools, Library, medical facilities and much more.

This impressive family-friendly home is unique to Gladstone and is a home that is admired by many but best of all; this is your opportunity to secure this property as it may be another 20 years before it becomes available again! Please contact Ros Newberry at Raine and Horne to arrange an inspection
