Situated in a lovely, safe quiet area in a close with small oval park in front. This delightfully renovated home epitomises everything we love about Queenslanders. It has character, charm, ambience and being built for the climate, a wonderful connectivity between indoor and outdoor living, as well as fantastic natural passive cooling and the cross ventilation of the design (its also fully air conditioned for those extra hot days or nights). There are three outdoor living spaces for you to fully enjoy the magnificently private garden. The large front veranda has an outlook to the mountains and the small oval park. The rear veranda (9.3m long) and rear downstairs patio provide wonderful outdoor living and entertaining whilst enjoying the secluded tropical setting and there is plenty of room for children/dogs to play. The downstairs entertaining area has polished concrete floors to provide a contrasting contemporary edge. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms, wonderful timber floors and a lovely new kitchen with plenty of cupboard space and a servery directly through to the back deck. The new contemporary bathroom is very stylish. Downstairs is a fantastic self-contained space with kitchenette, bathroom and two large rooms currently used as guest bedrooms, but could also serve as an office or for teenagers or for the extended family but has been used as an Air BnB (NB. Ceiling height in these two extra rooms is 2.28m). There are lots of extras that make this home not only wonderful to live in but very functional ie. individual room air conditioning throughout, good sized store room/workshop, garden shed, fully fenced, insulated roof and insulated ceiling between top floor and bottom floor for coolness, water filter for both shower and drinking water. In summary, you can move straight in and enjoy this delightful home in a wonderful setting and suburb only minutes from everything. You will love the truly tropical lifestyle it offers you.
