31 Vores Road, Whiteside, QLD 4503

Set well back from the road in the most picturesque of settings, this split-level acreage residence features plenty of surprises, including a sunken bar and hidden wine cellar, 'The Summerhouse', a versatile art and craft studio, and a huge 6-vehicle garage suited to car enthusiasts, workshop tinkerers and business owners.

Combining internal brick and cathedral ceiling highlights, timber floors and a recently renovated kitchen, this well-built family home offers privacy in abundance and delivers indoor-to-outdoor living and entertaining zones that overlook tranquil, established gardens, with no neighbours in sight.

A haven for nature lovers and gardeners, this 2-acre property is home to a variety of sub-tropical fruit and nut trees and is visited by koalas and many species of birdlife. There are spots to enjoy a picnic beside the creek, level, grassed areas for children and pets to play, a potting shed and several garden sheds providing additional storage.

Within the breezy home is an easy-living layout with voluminous, open-plan family spaces, a functional stone-topped kitchen with quality, gunmetal grey appliances and tapware highlights, and a garden-view master suite ideally situated separately from the remaining bedrooms.

A wide staircase leads down to the rumpus where the semi-underground, alehouse-style bar adjoins, complete with a sliding wine barrel-style barn door closure to an approximately 1700-bottle, naturally cooled cellar. Outside, a near-new Vergola louvre-covered patio, wide, tiled verandahs, an eclectic studio space with a sun deck and the rustic 'loo with a view' grant a choice of unique spaces that retain a connection with the great outdoors.

Positioned only a few minutes from Lake Samsonvale's recreation areas and Old Petrie Town's historical buildings and market atmosphere, less than 15 minutes from Strathpine Shopping Centre and approximately 30km from Brisbane's CBD, here is a restful tree-change lifestyle for all the family with convenience to must-have amenities.
