A gracious yet warmly imposing tripled gabled Queenslander, presides in a unique area of the range in the gorgeous tree lined and scenic boulevard of Penlington street.
Of 1940's origin, when architectural detail was paramount from the intricate casements and fretwork to the tudor detail in the gables, this sturdy weatherboard home has been modernised to blend the old style with the demands of modern living.
The imposing front staircase opens onto the lovely 2 sided veranda with hardwood flooring and louvred windows to catch the summer breezes and the pretty views of the street and Berserker ranges. Perfect as an extra living space for dining and entertaining, as it flows through, via french doors to the formal lounge and modern airy kitchen. This is well equipped with gas stove, stainless steel range hood and splashback, dishwasher, copius amounts of drawer and cupboard space in crisp white cabinetry and charcoal toned benchtops and polished floors.
Adjacent is the spacious dining room, accentuated by the hoop pine floors, picture rails, panelling, ornate plaster ceilings and sectional timber cabinets that divide it from the traditional formal lounge reception area.
The master bedroom off the veranda is quietly classic in design with ornate cornice ceiling, panelling, bay window and love seat for extra storage and features a small room that could be used as a nursery or dressing room.
The fresh main bathroom with shower over bath arrangement, tiling, linen cupboards,and deep vanity on timber benchtop is well presented as is the second bathroom with wet room shower, second toilet, and upstairs laundry arrangement at the end of the amazing private 11metre timber deck with runs the back of the home.
The second bedroom is of good size with built-ins and the third opens from the large sleepout, which can be utilized as an office, sewing or games room, or fourth bedroom.
The property is well concreted underneath, restumped, has a large lockable storage/workshop area, and may have potential to further enclose underneath, or as is, still a good play or recreation area.
There is double tandem vehicle accommodation on one side and remote control single accommodation on the Henry st side.
The landscaping is amazing with thoughtful planning to display a wide variety of native species in their prime and fruits and vegetable gardens in the backyard, to encourage one to get back to basics and nature.
All round, this property represents a "home" not a mere house, as its characteristics and quiet location close to schools, churches, public transport, shops, hospitals and facilities, would surely "tick all the boxes" on anyone's list.
