59 Illawong Way, Karana Downs QLD 4306

The Brisbane River views will be a significant part of the attraction for this property as the panorama from here is simply magnificent! It's set on more than half an acre with a gentle slope that passes by towering gum trees to reach the water's edge. The outlook encompasses parkland on the opposite side of the river while its position on a cul de sac ensures that traffic noise is kept to a minimum.

Lots of character, light filled spaces and multiple entertaining areas are on offer here. One side of the home features a full length elevated timber deck to take advantage of the brilliant river vista. The steel framing of the deck supports a huge covered dining area and a welcoming bar which will be hard to go past. The opposite side of the property hosts a saltwater pool with tropical gardens and an all-weather entertaining area. The large, insulated, roof of the pool pavilion covers another generous alfresco entertaining area that includes an outdoor kitchen with drinks fridge, built in barbecue and a television ready for the upcoming cricket season.

Timber floors dominate most of the interior. The generous living room features a fireplace, air conditioning and an impressive vaulted ceiling. The nearby family room offers another entertaining option (or teenage retreat) with a powder room for guests. The kitchen is open plan to the living room, indoor dining as well as the river deck. The flow to the rear deck is unimpeded thanks to large sliding doors on two walls. The home chef will appreciate the Caesar Stone benches, gas cooktop and a 900cm electric oven. The fridge is plumbed in, there's a dishwasher and a massive walk-in pantry in addition to a sizable breakfast bar.

The Master Bed Suite opens directly to the river deck to also take advantage of the amazing views. You'll love its raked ceiling, huge walk-in robe, renovated ensuite with double shower, separate toilet and additional storage options. The other three bedrooms share a bathroom which includes a Caesar Stone vanity, bath, shower and separate toilet.

A double garage and adjacent carport offers plenty of off-street parking. The garage is remote opening and features a work bench, store room and internal entry to the home. On the lower level (between the home and the river) is a garden shed, a Cubby House inspired by an old style bushman's hut, a viewing platform and landscaped gardens. The internet connection is currently Fibre To The Node (FTTN) however this technology will soon be upgraded to the much faster Fibre To The Premises (FTTP). It should be noted that this home has never been flooded.

It's less than 250 metres to the Illawong Reserve Sports Ground, the Mount Crosby State School is around a kilometre away, the local shopping centre a two minute drive whilst the popular Brisbane River Golf Club is also less than 5 minutes away. School buses to a number of High Schools and Colleges pass the end of the street. Karana Downs is a mere 35 minutes from Brisbane's CBD and less than 15 minutes to Ipswich's CBD. Please note that the home is well above previous river heights and has never flooded. If you need more information please feel free to contact Ian Keenan at any time.
