Set well back from the road on an enormous 20,600m2 block (2.06 hectares), this gorgeous low-set brick home oozes charm and sophistication over every square inch.
Offered to the open market for the first time in almost 40 years, you'll be taken with the character features and beautiful natural surroundings that are evident from every angle.
One of the best aspects of this stunning residence is the convenience of living here ? you simply follow Samsonvale Road until it turns into Winn Road and within a couple of minutes you've arrived!
You'll appreciate just how close you are to so many amenities - Cashmere Village Shopping Centre, Marketplace Warner, Genesis Christian College and Warner Tavern are all less than 6 minutes away, whilst you're also within a short drive to other quality schools?namely St Paul's College, Mount Samson State School, Holy Spirit Primary, Bray Park State High School and Eaton's Hill State School.
You're also close to a myriad of other shopping centres including Strathpine Centre, Eaton's Hill Village and the soon-to-be-completed Joyner Central, as well as other facilities such as Petrie University, Bray Park Train Station, Lake Samsonvale and Bullocky's Rest Picnic areas and Lake Samsonvale Water Sports Association. There are also many parks in the area and hiking trails with access for mountain bikes and horses directly opposite the property. Finally, there is a school bus service and local bus network just down the road?everything right at your fingertips.
As you head through the gate and drive down the long driveway, you will take in the beautiful trees and abundant birdlife that inhabits this property.
The first thing you'll notice is the fabulous garden, including a fully fenced grass area - perfect for pets or little ones to run around and play.
The front veranda runs the full length of the home and is the perfect place to sit and relax, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand.
As you enter the home via the boot room, a handy place to kick off your shoes after a long day, you'll notice the beautifully renovated laundry area with plenty of built-in cupboard space. Nearby, you'll discover the well-appointed main bathroom with subway tiles, a separate bath and a shower with a monsoon-style shower rose. There is also a separate toilet and more storage in the hallway.
Heading to the eastern side of the residence, you'll find the main living area with stunning vaulted Cypress pine ceiling, a classic feature that allows the airflow and natural light to fill this space with a welcoming country-style charm.
The kitchen is semi-separated from the main living area and features 40mm stone bench tops, imported French Winckelman tiles, a generous built-in pantry, a microwave shelf and appliances including a 900mm Westinghouse range hood, an Asko dishwasher and a Fisher & Paykel oven?a delightful place to create any meal of your choice.
Flowing easily from the kitchen is the dining area ? by now, you'll gain a real sense of how the owners have respectfully combined a modern style with the timeless features of this home.
Wander back down the central hallway with its original Cypress pine shiplap walls and you'll find three separate, carpeted bedrooms, each featuring a ceiling fan and with built-in wardrobes.
At the end of the hallway, you'll find the European-style master suite - comprising a spacious dressing room with built-in wardrobe, ensuite, vanity and floating dressing table. Through the large shaker-style barn door, with hand-made wrought iron handles, you will find the massive master bedroom, complete with air conditioner and ceiling fan. You will instantly fall in love with the huge amount of space where you can enjoy the cross-flow breezes afforded by the large window at either end of the room. There is enough space here to create your parents' retreat if you choose.
Heading out to the back now, you'll notice that the rear veranda runs the full length of the residence in the same manner as the front veranda. Here you can sit with your morning coffee, watching the birdlife awaken. Koalas, wallabies and king parrots are also known to be visitors here.
You'll wander around to the side of the home where you'll find the crystal clear in-ground salt-water swimming pool surrounded by a large maintenance-free (composite timber) deck and plenty of space to entertain, soak up the views and enjoy the privacy this property offers.
Other features of this fantastic property include a 6.6 KW solar system, a large dam with pump, a septic system, 2 x 22,500 litre Q-Tank water tanks, one 68,000 litre concrete water tank, Puretec G7 whole-of-house water filtration system, garden shed, shade house, double lock-up garage, plenty of space for parking, recently upgraded electrical hardware throughout the house including hard-wired smoke detectors.
