This is a very well maintained, quality built, northerly facing home with an attached internal access double garage. The south west corner of the house snuggles in to gently sloping land, providing moderation of the elements. The property rarely experiences fog and does not have red soil. Drainage is very good.
The house has above the recommended level of insulation, quality curtaining, natural gas heating, instant gas hot water and a generous amount of power points. Built-in robes are in all four bedrooms, and there is an ensuite to the main. Both bathroom and laundry have a good size built-in cupboard. Situated at the front of the house, the calm and tranquil ivory toned lounge room has deep carpet and a lovely double window view of the garden and street.
The open plan kitchen, with its one and a half ovens and glass cook top is separated from the family room by a bar. This encourages easy communication and interaction with family and guests. The stunning black tiled family room will be the envy of your friends and offers great entertaining potential. If this is not your thing, then perhaps choose to use it for billiards, large chess board, large meditation pyramid, craft or sewing work area etc.
Opening from the family room is a roofed brick paved patio which is a practical, well placed entertainment area. This is also an ideal private spot to sit quietly with a cuppa and enjoy the garden and listen to the birds.
An informal garden surrounds the house, again contributing valuable protection. It contains a large number and variety of plants and shrubs, creating an interesting play on heights, shades of green and foliage texture. With attention to fragrance and sudden unexpected bursts of flower and colour throughout the year, the garden is now drought tolerant. However, there is still space for you to add your own favourite plants. There are also many herbs ready to pick to enhance your culinary skill both in the kitchen or on the barbeque. This garden also attracts a wide range of birds and butterflies.
A wonderful location being only 5 minutes walking distance to buses or 10 to 15 minutes to shops. It is also very handy to the University of Queensland.
