Perched up high on a 766msq parcel of land the owners set about transforming the original 1947 (Circa), low-set cottage into the magnificent Queensland home we see today.

The expansive lower-level deck with bull nose veranda has a wonderful vantage point capturing the tropical landscape, parkland, and waterfront outlook while entertaining or quietly taking in the peaceful vista. Stepping into the welcoming entry you will appreciate the high ceilings, VJ walls, ornate fretwork, gorgeous timber floors bi-fold doors out to the deck and soft drapes that embrace the large living room.

Let’s chat about the 8.5 x 9m powered shed – a tradies delight with parking for 3 vehicles plus a double carport. A secure and spacious yard with an easy-to-maintain landscaped garden provides plenty of space for the children and pets to play with plenty of room to put in a pool.

The owners are downsizing and staying local making this an enviable opportunity for a family to move straight in with nothing left to do. They have loved the whisper-quiet location, park for a picnic across the road, catch a fish or two, or take a stroll along the Esplanade waterfront. Close to train and bus transport and a short drive to Many Village, surrounded by a plethora of quality schools, sporting and social facilities, you will be embraced by the family lifestyle this part of the Bayside has to offer.
