37 Olivia Drive, Carina Heights QLD 4152

Give me a home………

Let's park the fact that this beautiful and large 5 bedroom + study, 3 bathroom (2 ensuite), multiple indoor (AND multiple outdoor living) area family home for a moment……and focus on three elements for your family's future……

A pocket which is one of the South sides best kept secrets, this position is second to none!
LOCATION - So close to everything including local shops, Westfield Carindale, the Gateway and the CBD plus an abundance of quality schools (Cav Rd SHS catchment)
LOCATION - no traffic, tranquil and safe with the peace-of-mind being in a quiet cul-de-sac.
LOCATION. It's hard to believe that your new home also benefits from being surrounded by Bushland reserve with nature quite literally over the back fence and at the end of the street! Just imagine being able to walk less than 50 metres to trails to Whites Hill Reserve - a natural habitat brimming with wildlife including Koala's and Wallabies!

Come to your inspection early and allow a walk through this wildlife haven from the end of Olivia Dr. Imagine waking up to birdsong or finishing every day with a beautiful bushwalk that starts mere metres from your front door! Weekends in the pool listening to the sounds of nature. This tightly held neighbourhood is one that needs to be visited to be appreciated.

Now, lets park the LOCATION for a minute and look at this beautiful home. The well-designed layout and thoughtful features will also not disappoint, offering size and space for the entire family to spread out! Freshly painted and beautifully maintained, this executive residence comprises of two separate air-conditioned indoor living and dining areas (the main space also has a cosy fireplace!). There are also two separate outdoor entertaining areas (including a sparkling inground pool!), three bathrooms, five bedrooms plus a separate study and second study nook upstairs! The two dedicated outdoor living areas flank the front and back of this home - just perfect for our outdoor lifestyle and the private bushland setting! The rear outdoor living space features a large covered rear deck which is accessed from large tri-fold doors (0and also overlooked from the kitchen and servery window!) and hosts a sparkling inground pool under a huge telescopic umbrella to complete the relaxed holiday feel of this idyllic opportunity.

Of the five dedicated built-in bedrooms two host private ensuites with huge walk-in robes (1 up, 1 down!) The generously proportioned upstairs air-conditioned master suite has a private Juliette balcony offering an outlook over the lush green reserve backdrop and pool below while the second upstairs bedroom also features separate air-conditioning and fan. All non-ensuited bedrooms have fans and built in wardrobes - and are serviced amply by the large bathroom which comes complete with separate shower and a relaxing corner spa.

The kitchen boasts timber cabinetry, thick stone benchtops and four burner gas cooktop. This space separates the two internal dining/ living spaces and is also positioned perfectly to watch the kids play in the pool and service the covered poolside alfresco dining area through the large servery window - just perfect for family gatherings or parties! There is a secure yard off to the side of the covered deck which is finished with recently installed, no maintenance faux grass - just perfect for kids or pets……or both!

There is full security and insect screening across both levels and a wired security alarm for maximum security and peace of mind. Quality plantation shutters feature in several windows to regulate light if a well-deserved sleep-in is required!

The 640sqm land features a 22m frontage which affords side access if required - suitable with minor changes to the current landscaping - for a van, trailer or boat. There is a secure double lock up garage which provides direct access inside and to the separate laundry which flows through to the paved drying court. There is a large garden shed (approx. 3m x 2.5m), 5000l water tank to keep the pool full and the easy care, low maintenance gardens lush and green. There is a second retractable telescopic shade umbrella in the front paved entertaining area to provide all year-round shade.

This home has been in the same family for over 30 years, a testament to the fact that houses in this prized LOCATION rarely become available.
If you're searching for a large family home with multiple living areas (maybe for older teens or extended family/ guest stays that require a second ensuited bedroom with direct external access!?) then this one ticks all those boxes. Add the trump card of the perfect reserve-side location at the end of a cul-de-sac while preserving the benefit of having all of the conveniences of the city within minutes - and I think you have found your……."home among the Gum trees!"
