If you are looking for a large two story family home and like to commune with nature this is for you. Built on a quiet cul de sac, this Western Red Cedar home was designed by Ross Boulter, on a 1709m2 (almost ½ acre) block on one of the premiere streets in old Tanah Merah, with great views. This property offers the opportunity to add real value with a few cosmetic changes.

With polished hardwood timber floors throughout, western red-cedar external walls, timber blinds and an uninterrupted hinterland view, this is a nature lover's dream. The owners say that "you can expect daily visits from wallaby, opossum & koala appreciating the natural reserve at the rear, and birds of every shape and colour, enjoying the extensive native plantings at the front of the home".
The home has a total of four bedrooms, or three bedrooms and a large office. On the top floor is the private master bedroom, complete with air conditioning, en suite and a walk in wardrobe. The view from the window here is nothing short of stunning, stretching westward, with an uninterrupted vista.
Outside the master bedroom there is a powder room ensemble, ideal for guests.
A large office is perfect for those working at home, or could easily become the fourth bedroom or a nursery.
Also on the upper floor are spacious open plan, formal lounge, dining and kitchen areas, ideal for entertaining, with the dining room leading out onto a large balcony, again looking westward to spectacular sunset views. The whole home is designed to get maximum benefit from the afternoon breezes, well known to this elevated area.
The current owner is in the process of renovating the kitchen, has purchased but not yet installed the plentiful cupboards. He already has a new 6 burner gas stove and dishwasher in place.
As we move down to the lower floor, we get a sense of the high quality finish in this home, with discreet wall lights illuminating the beautiful timber staircase.
On this floor are another two air conditioned bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and timber blinds, the main bathroom and, of course, a very practical laundry area.
For more informal family entertaining there is an enormous, split level, family room measuring 8m x 9m approximately. This family room leads out onto another deck, again facing West, with a spa and steps that lead down into the back garden area.
There is a double garage with direct access into the family area and the deck.
The rear garden has been deliberately left in its original state to blend in with the nature reserve at the bottom boundary. For those who like to commune with nature, a set of steps wind their way through from Bayview Drive to Andromeda below.
The lower floor has security mesh on every window and door, and the whole house is alarmed and monitored. The home is also served with cable TV and Internet.
Tanah Merah is a high growth suburb, on the Logan River, which still has yet to see its full potential. The area is conveniently located only minutes from fantastic shopping, cinemas, restaurants and bars at the Logan Hyperdome, a large number of public and private schools, many parks with BBQ areas, playgrounds, sporting facilities, cycling and walking tracks and four major golf courses.
Bayview Drive is a cul de sac, at the top of the hill, surrounded on three sides by a nature reserve sloping down to the rest of Tanah Merah, one of the most conveniently located suburbs in Brisbane. Tanah Merah is only minutes from access to the M1 and Ipswich motorways putting the CBD, Gold Coast, western suburbs and even Brisbane airport less than ½ hour's travel. Ideal for the angler, the Logan River is renowned for fishing and crabbing, and the fisherman's paradise of Moreton Bay is also only ½ hour away.
For the kids, Dreamworld, Wet n Wild and Movieworld are also just a 20 minutes drive down the freeway - so why not buy a season pass!
