Situated on the high side of the undulating and secluded Orchard Terrace is this delightful, architect designed and master built family residence with horizon line views to distant mountains. This is one of St Lucia's most desirable and quiet streets, yet is within a few minutes drive from all conceivable amenities, under 5 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD and 1.8km to the University of Queensland. St Peters College is just 1.3km away.
Built over 3 levels, you'll find cleverly defined separation between living spaces and while it's a prestige home, a warm and charming character is imparted courtesy of recycled hardwood flooring and exposed timber structural members.
This is a deceptively large home, with tons of room for the whole family. Upstairs via the centrally positioned timber staircase to the main living level, open plan kitchen, dining and spacious lounge opening to the balcony and wonderful view. The thoughtfully designed kitchen has a central island and return to accommodate stools. European stainless appliances, stone benchtops, soft close drawers and gas cooktop will please the gourmet cook. The split level hallway (up two steps) leads to the rear, including a rumpus/hobby/study space and separate TV room opening to a welcoming in ground pool, grassed areas and landscaped backyard.
The top level bedrooms are separated by a large central sunroom with a delightful leafy aspect. Master bedroom is well placed to take in the view and includes an adjoining parents retreat, large walk in robe and ensuite. There's also extra in roof storage space at floor level with access to a large roof cavity. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are generously sized with built-ins, and bedroom 2 has a cute Juliette balcony overlooking the pool. The laundry chute is a practical addition.
Perhaps the main distinguishing feature is the inclusion of a spacious two room fully self contained granny flat at ground level. Complete with kitchenette, bar fridge, walk through robe, laundry capability and dedicated exterior access, this space would also be suited for use as a home office.
Access to the two car garage is via remote roller door. Designed to maximise usable space there's room for a DIY workbench and storage to the side, and additional storage at the back with high shelving. Two more cars spaces are available off street.
Top up shopping? You're two minutes from the Gailey Road 5 ways convenience store, chemist, newsagent, butcher, seafood, cafe/deli, restaurant, grocer, cake shop, medical and more.
The owners have purchased elsewhere and have already moved out, so they are serious sellers seeking a serious buyer.
