33 Collingwood Road, Birkdale, QLD 4159

Take a look at this rare opportunity ? a classy two-level home in such a quiet and friendly location. A versatile layout offers options for blended and multi-generational families; professionals wanting a dedicated home office, or ?live-in? investors.

With a broad driveway, on-point colour-scheme and an imposing skillion roof, 33 Collingwood Road has undeniable street presence. Enter through the covered portico and long foyer, bringing you into the large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. For those who love to cook, there is plenty of space here. The sizeable kitchen has sleek bench-space for prepping even the biggest of dinners, while storage is no problem with a useful walk-in-pantry. The large, open-plan living/dining area boasts chic stone tiling, modern comforts such as air-conditioning and ceiling fans, and all bathed in plenty of natural light.

Three spacious bedrooms are situated off the living area. Each bedroom offers a pleasant neutral palette, ceiling-fans to keep cool and big built-in wardrobes. There is plush carpet underfoot. The Master bedroom also benefits from a full en-suite, and direct access to the garden. The other two bedrooms are serviced by a big family bathroom with full bathtub and shower over.

From the living room a set of sliding-doors take you out to the pristine rear garden. This is a quiet and private space, offering a lush, flat lawn, cascading Jacaranda tree, and all fully-fenced for peace of mind.

Heading upstairs you'll be pleasantly surprised to find another relaxing living-space ? an ideal place perhaps for kids to enjoy while the adults are downstairs. This family room has air-conditioning to keep cool all year round; and it also boasts a kitchen area that's great for those wanting independent living ? teenagers or perhaps retired parents. The well-proportioned balcony off this living area is also a great place to unwind with a coffee or glass of wine.

A further two bedrooms are on this level ? each a good size, with built-in wardrobes and soft, warm carpets. There's a well-equipped bathroom between the bedrooms. Since this level has it's own entrance independent of the rest of the house, the whole upper-floor can be self-contained if desired.

Returning to the ground-floor and the front of the property, there are two big single garages, both with remote entry. The current layout of the house lends itself to split living ? with the opportunity to rent out the two levels as two separate dwellings if preferred. Alternatively, the whole house can be used as a large family home.

Ideally positioned in a peaceful suburb, the water is so close by - the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is just 15 minutes away along with a major Jetty for island hopping. Birkdale offers an ideal family lifestyle, minutes from the water and promenade walk by the water. It is just a five minute walk to the train, bus services and shopping complex. Brisbane CBD is accessible by train or a 30-minute drive. One of the four primary hospitals (Redlands Hospital) is only a 15 minute drive. The property is in the catchment for well-respected Birkdale State school and Wellington SHS, and is within easy reach of several award winning private schools (Ormiston College and Sheldon College). The official Olympic Games waterpark has started construction and is only a 10 minute walk from your door. With both the water and a myriad of bushwalking options close by, you'll love the relaxed, outdoor lifestyle right on your doorstep. This home is a rare gem that will provide for your family in every way.
