42 Zeehan Street, Wavell Heights QLD 4012

Yes, you can keep chooks, grow vegies and relax in your own private garden, all while living 6km from the CBD! You can enjoy a quiet environment that's close to the airport but not beneath the flight path. You can keep an eye on the kids in the fabulous cubby house, knowing they're safe while you sit on the deck or prepare meals in the kitchen. And you can revel in peace of mind knowing you're in short driving distance of major hospitals and easy public transport to both private and state schools. Take a quick trip to Westfield Chermside, Centro Toombul or Nundah's high street and you'll also appreciate the sporting facilities at nearby Shaw Park.

This home sweet home is begging for a happy, busy family to move in and get cosy. Its five - yes, five! - upstairs bedrooms will accommodate everyone comfortably while the ample lounge and dining lead onto two separate decks for room to move. And if you have teenagers or need an extra room, the ground floor is self-contained with a large utility room with built in cupboard and a bed plus its own bathroom and kitchenette. There is also a single lock-up garage.

Built from solid hardwood, the house, on 665m2, features gorgeous hardwood timber floors, high ceilings and ornate cornices. The garden has been a labour of love and provides a tranquil setting to catch some rays or potter around enjoying the fresh air. The established vegetable garden delivers an abundance of fresh produce all year round and is designed for easy maintenance.

Lots of thought has gone into convenience and practicality. The laundry boasts a wall-mounted ironing centre and a space to get clothes dry even on a rainy day. Plenty of cupboards and bench space in the kitchen make life easy and built-in wardrobes and bookcases in the other rooms means there's a place to store all your treasures.

The vendor is keen to say that the neighbourhood has a lovely community feel with friendly neighbours. There's a coffee shop at the end of the street that turns into a bar Thursday to Sunday evenings, further emphasising the local lifestyle attributes.

If you're looking for a pretty home that offers safety, security, convenience and yesteryear values will never be in danger of being flooded and is surrounded by good people, this is the one for you.
