Architectural Character Home and Garden Sanctuary
With a wide frontage and a charming traditional facade, this beautiful character home creates a welcoming presence in this family friendly street.For the past decade, it has been a much loved family home and has been thoughtfully updated by its architect-owner to create a residence that offers modern conveniences and comforts, while retaining the integrity of a traditional Queenslander.
A welcoming entry leads to a very generously sized lounge room and at the rear, the home opens to a combined kitchen and dining area. This is an impressive space that is the gathering point of the home and it enjoys a lush, green and private outlook over the established back garden and a magnificent Camphor Laurel tree. A wall of timber bi-fold doors blurs the line between inside and out and makes this entire space a wonderful indoor/outdoor sanctuary that can be enjoyed in any season and any weather. The kitchen has an abundance of clever storage and it features solid Silky Oak cabinetry. There’s a comfy, built-in bench seat and silent, eco-friendly ceiling fans ensure there’s always a cooling breeze.
The home has three bedrooms; the Master incorporates a handy study nook and a delightful window seat. The other two bedrooms flank a casual rumpus room, which is a terrific, multi-purpose space that has been used for piano practice, homework and as a children’s play area. French doors open to the front verandah that is enclosed by lattice privacy screens, however they cleverly slide open to create another alfresco area and the ideal spot for enjoying the northeast aspect and to welcome neighbourhood interaction.
The stylish, bright and open bathroom has been well designed to create three separate zones – perfect for harmonious family living.
Downstairs, there is a laundry and secure storage room, a workshop and an expansive concrete slab, which remains faithful to the original purpose of a Queenslander under croft. It’s a cool and inviting area – perfect for children to play and a wonderful space to gather with friends. A formed concrete bench seat extends into the fully fenced yard, inviting connection with the beautiful and well-maintained gardens and fruit trees.
There is car accommodation for two vehicles, with additional off-street space on the driveway.
The location is conveniently close to shops, parks and sought after lifestyle areas. From the property, it’s a short walk to vibrant Rosalie Village, Milton State School, Frew Park and multiple transport options to the CBD.
This is a home with warmth, charm and character in abundance that maximises its relationship with the outdoors. It has been cleverly updated, yet remains unpretentious and offers exceptionally comfortable living in a popular, family friendly location. Do not delay an inspection.
