252 George Holt Drive, Mount Crosby QLD 4306

This is one of Mount Crosby's most impressive homes and the surrounding gardens are equally spectacular. Set back from the street in a commanding hilltop position with the northerly aspect providing great views of the nearby mountains. The home is both luxurious and functional with a strong emphasis on outdoor living. Covered decks and some beautiful fretwork dominate the façade and certainly add to its liveability.

The whole home has been designed with generous proportions and the craftsmanship which has gone into the home is more than obvious. Stunning timber floors and high ceilings are throughout and particularly obvious of the sunken lounge. The lounge features a wood heater for winter whilst the air conditioner will only be needed on the very warmest summer days. The home is well insulated and the cooling airflow is typical of a Queenslander design. Bi fold doors allow for great air flow into the lounge while the dining and media rooms also provide direct access to the deck via stylish timber French Doors.

The designer kitchen features stone and timber benchtops, dishwasher plus a new 900mm SMEG stove with electric oven and gas cooktop. The refrigerator is plumbed, there's a pantry, a considerable amount of storage and a lengthy breakfast bar caters for the largest of families. A lengthy servery window opens fully to assist in blurring the line between indoors and outdoors.

The main bedroom is spacious with one side opening onto a large private deck via timber bi-fold doors. The walk-in-robe and ensuite are both generous in dimensions. Yet another touch of luxury is in the fact that the bath in the ensuite can be pre-programmed.

Two other bedrooms are air-conditioned with a copious amount of wardrobe space. The fourth bedroom currently serves as a media room and is ideal for that purpose however it could also be repurposed as a spacious home office. Storage was also made a priority in the design and not only is there a large storage/walk-in linen room in the home, downstairs in the double, internal entry garage the entire back wall has been devoted to huge cupboards. Additionally on the lower level is a large concrete slab which could be easily enclosed and utilised for a workshop, additional storage or even an additional living space as it is well above legal height.

The property is fully fenced to contain family pets whilst the gardens have a hidden fence installed to discourage the dogs from playing there. The gardens provide a spectacular entry to the property and on inspection you'll appreciate how much hard work has gone into them. In addition to the generous areas of lawns are raised garden beds and fruit trees which include Tahitian limes, oranges, mangoes, grapefruit and mulberries.

Environmentally aware, the home was built with 45,000 litres of rainwater stored on site. There's 6.4Kw of solar power and a three phase power connection.
