Situated in the ever-popular and always tightly-held 'Fernlands' estate, this enormous modern Colonial residence is perfectly suited to large families that require plenty of size, plenty of separation and a plethora of indoor and outdoor living options.
With a number of recent upgrades, renovations and clever changes to the original plan, you'll be hard-pressed to find a home that offers this much space for this price point.
If you're unfamiliar with 'Fernlands', you'll quickly realise that there's a mix of architectural home designs that have been adapted to suit the leafy vistas and varied block sizes and angles?and 12 Fleetwood Court is no exception.
But best of all, you'll love just how handy you are to so many amenities even though you're nestled amongst the treetops where tranquillity is omni-present.
This home is very easy to find?simply follow Old Northern Road across the Rode Road overpass, turn left into Collins Road, follow it along until it becomes Bunya Road, turn left into Linkwood Drive and then the first right is Fleetwood Court.
Number 12 is on the high side of the street and as soon as you arrive, you'll realise just how private the residence really is.
You'll head up the driveway and be greeted by the new insulated remote double garage that's been added as a clever extension to the front.
This extension also incorporates a separate area for the bins, a superb concreted 'man-cave' that could also be used as a huge storage area (and is complete with a sink) and finally, internal stairs at the rear of the garage that lead up to an internal deck with another access point into the home?this area could be used for a wide variety of purposes ? this extension is 86m2 alone so there's certainly plenty of wonderfully usable space.
You'll wander past the crystal clear in-ground salt-water swimming pool (with a shade sail for sun protection and a gently cascading rock water feature) up the front stairs to the gorgeous wrap-around deck ? you'll picture the kids splashing about over the Summer in this pool and if they're at the age where you need to watch them carefully, is there a better place to sit with a cool drink in this wonderfully elevated position and take in the natural surroundings?
As you open the front door and head inside, you'll notice many of the aspects that provide a real point of difference ? the 9-foot ceilings, the stunning hardwood timber floors, the fresh internal paint and the Crimsafe-style security screens and doors?just to name a few.
There's a delightful family room and also a casual living area with gorgeous ornate cornices?each of which flow directly onto the front deck, thus attracting the meandering breezes and oodles of natural light.
