So how do you find 26 Calala Drive?

To find this remarkable property, simply turn off Samsonvale Road onto Windrest Street and follow it along until you see the turn on your right for Bach Street. Before long, veer left and as you turn onto Calala Drive you will immediately notice the striking number 26…perched in a beautifully elevated position and simply commanding attention!

You’ll ascend the front porch and before you head inside, you’ll notice how wonderfully private the front balcony truly is – a beautiful place to sit with a coffee and relax as the gentle breezes meander your way.

As you’ve most certainly noticed, there’s also a chairlift on the front stairs that you can either use your self or remove if you have no need for it!

The front yard is quite usable with grassy areas that can accommodate extra vehicles.

Right across the road, there’s actually no neighbour and instead, direct access into the picturesque parkland where you can walk your dog, exercise or play with your kids in total serenity.

There’s a separate lounge that’s surprisingly spacious and the best feature of this room is the stunning hardwood timber floors – you simply cannot buy floors of this quality anymore!

You’ll wander into the dining area that lies adjacent to the gorgeous renovated kitchen that features Diamond gloss bench tops, a microwave shelf, room for a double door fridge, a built-in pantry, brand new laminate flooring and finally, a selection of quality appliances that include a 4-burner gas cook top, a stainless steel oven and a stainless steel range hood.

Wander down the hallway to discover the three sizable bedrooms that all provide new carpet, big built-in robes and ceiling fans with the master also providing air-conditioning.

The main bathroom is original but very neat and tidy, featuring a separate bath and shower as well as a lovely vanity and a separate toilet.

As expected, you might have noticed that there are new compliant smoke alarms in the home.

Head down the rear stairs and you’ll enter the lower level of the abode that includes a monstrous open area that could be utilised in so many different ways – a family room, a massive storage area or perhaps you could line and sheet this area to create many separate rooms that will suit your family’s lifestyle.

Of course, there’s a double lock-up garage that forms part of this area (with one side that offer remote access).

The backyard is a wonderfully open grassy area with no trees to contend with…and like much of the home, offers a true ‘blank canvas’ to landscape in the manner that you wish.

There’s a clothesline and a small entertainment area under the rear deck as well as a possible side access into the backyard.

Homes in this price range have honestly never been selling quicker so we’d strongly advise you to act very fast if you think that this one could be for you!
