Best Offer Over $1,890,000
Privately positioned against a tree-studded reserve, this beautifully renovated colonial residence delivers an exceptional combination of timeless character, sophisticated Hampton-inspired interiors and versatile living across two levels. Set on a generous 1,386sqm block, the home offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas, a dedicated home office that is large enough to be used as a sixth bedroom, and an impressive lower-level retreat ideal for a granny flat, multi-generational space or Airbnb. With beautiful outdoor spaces, an elevated outlook, a desirable northern aspect and a tranquil bushland backdrop, this is a home where space, privacy and nature are central to everyday living.
From the moment you arrive, the home's classic character is evident. A freshly painted colonial exterior, bullnose verandah, traditional weatherboards, timber handrails and balustrades, and decorative gables with fretwork create an inviting first impression. Step inside and you'll discover an extensively renovated interior where classic character meets contemporary Hampton style. Gleaming hardwood floors, soaring high ceilings, detailed cornices, plantation shutters, feature lighting and decorative wall panelling combine to create an elegant yet relaxed family environment.
At the entry, the dedicated home office provides an ideal work-from-home space with internal access as well as a glass sliding door allowing clients or visitors to enter directly from the spacious verandah. Elevated views and the home's northerly aspect capture cooling summer breezes while providing additional warmth during the cooler months. From here, the home opens into a generous open-plan dining and family zone, centred around the impressive kitchen and flowing seamlessly through double French doors to the elevated entertaining deck. It's an inviting space for everyday family life as well as entertaining friends, with the surrounding greenery creating a beautiful natural outlook.
A Kitchen Designed for Entertaining
The gourmet kitchen sits at the heart of the home, positioned between the dining and family areas allowing you to remain connected with family and friends while preparing meals. Elegant shaker style, 2-pac cabinetry is complemented by gleaming stone benchtops and a striking Italian marble splashback, while the substantial island provides generous preparation and serving space, additional storage and a breakfast bar. A double farmhouse sink with quality ABI tapware adds both practicality and style. Cooking is well catered for with a 900mm stainless-steel upright oven, five-burner gas cooktop and custom canopy rangehood. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Spacious Family Accommodation
Three bedrooms are located on the main living level, including the generous master suite positioned privately at the rear of the home.
The master bedroom features beautiful timber floors, plantation shutters, a customised walk-in robe and a window seat overlooking a peaceful treed backdrop. The luxurious ensuite continues the home's refined aesthetic, with a large shower, wall niche, both handheld and rain-shower heads, and distinctive European Zellige tiles. Natural light and leafy views enhance the generous ensuite, which features a custom double vanity with stone benchtop and twin countertop basins.
Bedrooms two and three are privately positioned away from the master suite and are serviced by the main bathroom. This well-appointed bathroom includes a vestibule vanity, separate toilet, large shower and bath, while both bedrooms feature built-in robes and ceiling fans.
Flexible Lower Level with Dual-Living Potential
An internal staircase leads to the lower level, providing an exceptional additional living zone with the flexibility to accommodate a range of family needs.
With two large bedrooms, a beautiful third bathroom, an enormous laundry, walk-in storage and a huge rumpus room, this level is ideally suited to multigenerational living, independent teenagers, adult children, extended-stay guests or those wanting a separate retreat.
The rumpus room features engineered hybrid flooring, a kitchenette, air-conditioning and an electric fireplace beneath a wide mantelpiece, creating a comfortable space that can function almost independently from the main living level.
Wide bifold timber doors open directly onto an expansive alfresco area, with both covered and open-air zones providing plenty of space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors.
A Private Backyard Surrounded by Nature
From the alfresco, the outlook extends across a generous backyard framed by a tranquil bushland backdrop. There is plenty of space for children and pets to play, while the level section of lawn offers the flexibility to create a pool area if desired, further enhancing the home's outstanding outdoor living potential. Raised and covered garden beds provide plenty of opportunity to grow fruit, vegetables and herbs, while established mango, avocado and black sapote trees add to the property's productive garden.
A fox-proof chicken coop provides the opportunity to keep chickens and enjoy fresh free-range eggs, while abundant birdlife adds to the peaceful atmosphere. Together, the usable land, established gardens and reserve outlook create a wonderfully private setting that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet remains conveniently positioned within Albany Creek.
Parking, Privacy & Practicality
Under the home, there is excellent covered vehicle accommodation, with a long 13m carport plus a shorter 5.6m single-bay carport, providing space for at least three vehicles and potentially four, or a trailer or camper.
The property is securely fenced and gated, with a tall white front fence, pedestrian gate and wide vehicle access, while an extra-high fence along the northern boundary provides additional privacy.
