Opportunities to purchase a unique well appointed home in this position are rare, in fact, it's the first time this outstanding much loved home has been on the market in over 30 years.
If you are looking for an original, spacious family home that captures our Queensland lifestyle bringing the outside in - then this is the one for you. This home has it all, positioned on one of the highest residential points on "Sparkes Hill" it enjoys commanding views north / north-east to Stradbroke Island, the mouth of Brisbane River and Moreton Bay. To the west, through the Bushland Reserve you have views to D'aguilar Range. All this, together with lush gardens surrounding the home and in-ground, resort style salt water pool.
Fashioned on the California ranch, this home features open plan living, multiple outdoor entertaining areas and bonus parents retreat. It has been well maintained and extended over the years and freshly painted both internally and externally with a modern neutral palette.
Pulling into the paved driveway you'll feel like you've arrived in your own paradise. Walking to the main entrance via the professionally landscaped gardens and trickling pond, the sense of calm transcends. Entering the home via the welcoming foyer, hardwood polished floors lead you through to the light filled kitchen with reconstituted stone benchtops, Miele and Bosch appliances and a large pantry. This informal kitchen/family area is lit by a wall of panorama filled windows fitted with custom plantation shutters. To the left of the entry you have the separate shutter protected formal dining area, flowing onto the massive formal lounge, having plush carpeting then, leading out to the piece de résistance - your new deck complete with built-in bar and sweeping views.
To the right of the foyer there are three generous bedrooms all with built in robes and ceiling fans. The large family bathroom has double basins and a separate toilet.
The parents retreat upstairs certainly doesn't disappoint. Being the highest point of the home, relax and soak in the full size stand alone tub whilst taking in the 360 degree expansive views. You can then meander down the carpeted hall to your walk in robe, all the while taking in the view..
Downstairs you will find the laundry with plenty of cabinetry together with a separate storage / mudroom plus powder room which can be utilised by the children whether playing in the garden or swimming in the pool.
The back garden and enclosed resort style pool area is second to none. You will no longer
need to go on holidays as this well designed area complete with covered built in lounge and dining area will be the place to be for the summer months.
