An architectural marriage between the charm and appeal of 100 years ago and the requirements and expectations of a modern family unfolds as soon as you step through the door into the inviting historic corridor of this exceptional home. Retaining the character of the home as it was when it was transported to the 'Bayside' from Dalby in the 1990's it has had the advantage of two devoted owners keen to retain its history yet provide a modern upcycled version. In 2013 this was brought to fruition when a Designer and Master Builder were commissioned to deliver a renovation that would honour its originality and heritage whilst creating the functionality beyond the worker's cottage limitations.
The result – an outstanding property – 4 good sized bedrooms, ensuite to main bedroom, with contemporary high-end kitchen and huge open plan meals and living room on the upper level, connected via internal stairs to an oversized games / utility room, 3rd bathroom, additional office / coffee nook, internal access to the oversized lock up garage and all weather totally private entertainment area and pool.
Improvements include all new stumps under, rewiring, new plumbing, new hardwood timber flooring, insulated roofing, and the addition of contemporary multi-fold doors and timber multi-fold windows as well as modern downlights and 3 new bathrooms fitted with character items such as an original roll top bath in the main bathroom. The list is endless, yet the functionality is supreme.
The sprawling floor plan works well for a family of any age with multiple 'spread-out' spaces and living and entertaining areas leading to the major drawcard perfect for a Qld lifestyle – the low maintenance garden and entertainment area wrapping around a custom-built inground concrete pool. A feature waterfall and seating fitted with spa jets make it very enticing. Yet there's more than you'd expect with the opportunity to extend this into a full outdoor kitchen and movie theatre…. The outdoor 'room' is fitted with plumbing fixtures and wiring for power outlets as well as speaker cables and wiring for an overhead projector. There are no limits to the fun and entertainment options available.
Everything is designed and finished with minimal maintenance and longevity in mind right down to the well-drained back yard with its own submersible automated pump to remove any excess water from heavy rain and which doubles as a great place to put the fire pit on a winter's night!
Not only is the internal list endless – the locational aspect of this property is most enviable. Sitting just above the Deagon flood line (high and dry in 2022 floods) it is only a short relaxing stroll to the centre of Sandgate Village with immediate access to a litany of facilities from shopping to wine bars, library to train station and the schools and beach on the perimeter. Whether it's a Saturday night in Sandgate at Mr Henderson's, a moonlit stroll to the Full Moon Hotel for dinner, a hop on the train to go to the footy or QPAC or a night in with friends and family for a BBQ and dip in the pool this property is at the epicentre of all of these options.
We welcome your interest and inspection. We can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
