26 Franciscea Street, Everton Hills, Qld 4053

On the market for the first time in over four decades, this rock-solid home now awaits a new family. With its superb elevated position on a quiet, tree-lined street, this spacious three-bedroom house captures wonderful breezes. Its super-wide frontage, with views to Mt Coot-Tha from the large enclosed sunroom, creates a bright and airy living area. Upstairs, there are gorgeous hardwood floors, covered for years, throughout the living spaces and bedrooms. The large, light-filled kitchen is fully tiled, with built-in storage. Overlooking the rear garden, with an adjoining balcony, it's the perfect place to create your dream kitchen. All three bedrooms have built-in robes, with two featuring new mirrored wardrobes.

Take the internal stairs to a host of living and storage options at ground level. There's an enormous rumpus/media room with brand new kitchen facilities installed. This flows to a large paved and covered outdoor BBQ and garden area, with plenty of room for friends and extended family. This home is horticultural heaven for any avid gardener, with a huge (Council-approved) greenhouse that once grew some of Queensland's best orchids. There's a separate air-conditioned workroom at this level. It's fully secure and ideal as an office, especially with good access to the rear of the home on both sides. The spacious double garage has more excellent storage, with extensive built-in cupboards. There's also a very large laundry at this level. There's even a small wine cellar!

This much-loved family home on 650m offers an outstanding opportunity for spacious, peaceful living in a tightly-held location. Local shops, just a few minutes' walk from your door, offer a wide variety of amenities, including a large childcare centre. The extensive shopping facilities at Brookside Shopping Centre are just five minutes' drive away. Or take the bus at the end of the street (331m). Just down the hill, Kedron Brook and two lovely parks, including beautiful Teralba Park, are an easy walk. No. 26 is in the catchment area for Everton Park State primary and secondary schools.

A new family can make this home bloom again. Join me at the Open Home on Saturday to see if it's you.
