Set in the foothills of Mt Coot-tha with fabulous views to the D'Aguilar Range this timeless 1960's home exudes the charm of yesteryear coupled with modern additions to create the perfect family home. Enjoy this leafy, 1214m2 or 48 perch block with a huge saltwater pool, large established trees and a delightful garden to lose yourself in for hours. It's the perfect home with room for the children to play and swim and loads of space to entertain and enjoy the company of friends and family. The outside of the home does not even begin to tell the story, but step inside and prepare to be blown away.

The owner, who is an interior designer, has meticulously designed the home's extension to compliment the original home's features and has ensured it functions perfectly for busy family life. Featuring a huge open kitchen with views to the pool and mountains, large built-in bedrooms and an amazing laundry and butler's pantry to excite, both with a stunning view of the mountains. Anyone who arrives inside always says the same words, "Wow.. this is amazing. It is beautiful."

To find a home with a nearly 30m frontage and set on 1214m2 on a single level is a rarity this close to the city and homes like this in a perfect location rarely come to market. The home has been so lovingly created and exudes such warmth and charm. It makes you feel nurtured as every detail has been considered to ensure it is comfortable and easy to live in.

If you value having children ride their bikes to any of the nearby schools including Marist, Mt St Michael's, The Gap High or Payne Road then this is the ideal location with many bike tracks close by linked to these schools. Public transport is at your fingertips with a bus stop only one minute walk away, making access to Ashgrove, Paddington and Brisbane CBD a breeze. There are many parks and dog parks within walking distance and the Mt Coot-tha bushland nearby to wander and enjoy. Walk to the shops, cafe's, banks which are all only five minutes away.

The home features five large bedrooms or the fifth can be used as a home office or studio for the artistic person seeking an ideal creative space. The studio has a separate entry accessible without entering the main home, soaring ceilings, beautiful lighting, lime-washed brick and VJ walls and is the most incredible place to work from home. It features views to the garden, hardwood floors and it's own WC.

The residence has hardwood timber floors throughout, wallpaper featured in bedrooms, classic 1960's bathroom with tub. All rooms have fans and lots of large windows with shutters to take in the perfect breezes that blow from the North East Taylor Ranges. The bedrooms all face north to northeast ensuring there is always a breeze in Summer as well as capturing the warm morning sun in Winter.

The main air-conditioned living space has a large built-in seating area for TV viewing or conversation, the seating doubling as day beds to take a nap or read a book. The open dining space looks out through the huge bi-fold doors to the deck and pool making entertaining fabulous for large groups. The kitchen has modern appliances and a Miele dishwasher with great storage and a butler's pantry which is every cook's dream.

The home is solid and soundproof due to the solid brick construction, so the living space noise never impacts the bedrooms. Many parts of the house can be opened up or shut off so you have the best of both world. Choose to go open-plan or shut off areas to create private living areas to find some peace and quiet. The fireplace is the original, brick, open fireplace which is absolutely beautiful in Winter and it works as well as it did back in the 1960s. Stoke up the fire in Winter, grab that glass of wine and enjoy the lounge area away from the main hub of the home.

Under the house, there is an enormous area for storage. Store those bikes, boards, camping gear, suitcases or gym equipment. Plenty of room for the handyman/woman to set up a tool workshop or store those garden tools. Storage in this home has been thought of at every opportunity.
