This large family home on a level 1086m2 corner-block is snuggled amongst council conservation land, relieving you of any immediate neighbours. A fire trail borders the property to the rear and offers alternative street access.
‘Heathlea’ is a low-set brick home (rare for the islands) and is situated almost at the end of Kurrajong, near Palm Beach Road. Brown’s Bay and the Main Channel are on your doorstep, making it an ideal position for the keen angler or water-focused family.
You’ll feel at home the minute you arrive, as this sprawling residence has everything required to live the ‘good life’. With water-tanks, solar energy and a greenhouse, you can grow a thriving veggie garden to complement the existing fruit trees and have fresh, organic produce all-year.
Fully-fenced with wide gates and multiple driveways, you have a choice of the double-garage or tandem-carport for parking. Plus, the gazebo adjoining the house can also accommodate more vehicles, but it’s best used as a breezeway and entertainment space, with its ceiling fan and BBQ area.
Using the formal entrance to the East, you’ll stroll through the fragrant gardens with lush lawn and inter-connecting pathways. The foyer welcomes you, as you step inside the open-plan living area with a dedicated dining zone and enormous kitchen.
High ceilings, wide hallways and clever room dividers define the space and create privacy for multiple tasks that come with modern family-living. Homework, meals and coffee-chats can be enjoyed comfortably away from the lounge-room, if it’s cricket season or the kids are watching a movie.
The mint-green electric kitchen is the hub of the home, with an avalanche of cupboards, a free-standing cooker, dishwasher and sliding-doors to the gazebo (which will become your main entrance). Many a party starts and ends here, with enough room for many cooks and little hands.
Large light-filled windows flood the home with sunshine and electric whirly-gigs in the ceiling, extract excess heat via two vents. There’s air-con in the living and master bedroom, ceiling fans throughout and two electric ceramic heaters for cooler nights.
White, large-format tiles are repeated throughout, and while the quality wool carpets to the queen-sized bedrooms are dated, they’re in excellent condition.
A wall of storage behind the entry, guides you to the bathroom and bedroom wing. Both oversized bedrooms have built-ins, ceiling fans and large windows. They’re serviced by the family bathroom which has a mosaic tiled-floor, full bath, vanity and shower cubicle. The toilet is conveniently, separate.
The master suite at the very end, is gigantic at 7m x 4m and is a real parents’ retreat, with double-windows, built-ins, air-con, ceiling fans and ensuite. It’s so large, you could add an office or nursery, or use it as an alternate living space.
The laundry is beside the bathroom and has a back-door to the yard, with ramp access to the house, if required. It has an unforgettable red-white-and-black pebbled floor, perfect for a mudroom and offers further storage and a washtub.
Out in the fresh air you can explore the many features of this fantastic yard:
• Multiple water sources: town water, tanks & bore (with pumps)
• Solar hot water & roof panels (1.5 kW)
• Greenhouse with watering system
• Covered all-year entertaining area
• Fully-fenced yard
• Screens to all windows & security screens to doors
• Carport
• Double garage with power, tool-rack & workbench
• Storage shed
• Gravel and sandy paths for drainage
• Stepping-stones to tropical oasis for quiet meditation
• Garden beds with flowering shrubs & fruit trees
This solid home would make a wonderful place to raise a family, grow your food and hang-out with your pets after a day on the water, enjoying all of what the Southern Moreton Bay Islands offers.
If you’re after a good life and want a larger space to call home, this is it! A calmness in the midst of an island landscape, waiting to be reinvigorated and loved up, again.
There’s a lot to be excited about, but keep calm and call Chris McGregor on 0420 555 997. He’ll arrange a private inspection and you can begin your good-life journey.
