55 Blackwood Drive, Ferny Hills QLD 4055

With the old world charm of yesteryear, this replica Queenslander sits elegantly on one of Fernlands Estate's premier streets, occupying a dress circle position in an exclusive Blackwood Drive address.

Beautifully blending the past with the present in a seamless transition, this meticulously designed home is a magnificent entertainer, inspiring irreplaceable family time and gatherings.

With picturesque street appeal, this graceful lady has replicated the original character features of sweeping decks and a grand entrance harmoniously balanced with a modern floor plan of open spaces.

The home sits proudly on a large 730sqm block surrounded by quality homes and welcoming and friendly neighbours. Serene Parkland at your back step makes it feel like you are living on acreage. This outlook provides the perfect backdrop to the two generously sized living rooms and enormous decks, conjuring up images of relaxed family living and spectacular entertaining with a lush green outlook.

At the heart of the home is a well-appointed modern kitchen featuring expansive bench tops and quality Bosch and NEF appliances along with ample storage spaces. Fine quality hardwood floors throughout the upper level create a seamless flow between the kitchen, living spaces and bedrooms. Stainless steel ceiling fans and a beautifully positioned fire place will ensure year-round comfort.

The expansive entertainer's deck on the upper level provides a quiet space to enjoy the abundant bird and wildlife and breathtaking views. A TV point and speaker wires have been installed on the deck, making this space perfect for watching sporting events and throwing Christmas and birthday parties.

The ultimate parent's retreat, the master suite, is located on the upper level and is distinctly separate from the remaining 3 bedrooms on this floor. The suite comprises charming windows with beautiful views over the treetops and timber doors to the back deck along with a walk-in robe and large ensuite.

A dedicated children's wing with three oversized bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate toilet is also located on the upper level. Each bedroom is complete with built-in robes, two have timber doors to the front wrap-around verandah and one has a delightful feature bay window.

Access to the lower level is via a stunning internal timber staircase. This lower level features another generous living area and a second massive 54sqm timber deck, fifth bedroom, third toilet, separate laundry, store room, cellar and double lock-up garage with internal access. There is also a massive storage area under the front of the house.

The home is surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens filled with well-established trees and shrubs. There is also plentiful space in the flat back yard for children to play and grow with room to add a pool.

This exceptional family retreat is peacefully set in the public school catchment area for Patricks Road State School and Ferny Grove State High as well as being on the bus route for Mt Alvernia, Mt Maria, Padua and Nudgee Schools.

You are just moments from Wightman and James Drysdale Reserves, Pine Hills Sporting Fields, Fernlands Shopping Complex and Medical Centre and the mountain bike and running trails at Bunyaville State Forest while still being an easy commute to the inner city with local bus and rail transport nearby.
