Be prepared to be blown away! This sprawling semi-acreage oasis is an iconic home within the 'Gainbrae' estate and here's your opportunity to make it yours! Situated an enormous 2913m2 allotment that's neatly nestled at the end of the peacefully quiet cul-de-sac and borders the picturesque nature reserve – every element of this amazing property has been cleverly designed. Architecturally designed, built by Peter Bell and furthermore, having won the hotly-contested Queensland Building Design Award in 1998, the credentials of this property are right in your face…and you're about to see why! Before you approach the residence, you'll quickly surmise that you're only a few short minutes to Genesis Christian College, the Petrie University, the Petrie Train Station, buses, parks and numerous shopping centres including those in Petrie, Strathpine or Warner. Perhaps you might not know of the infrastructure that sets to transform the nearby Youngs Crossing Road…but you'll know all about it in a few short years when there's a Coles Supermarket, Coles Express Servo and a selection of retail and food outlets – it's your chance to buy before the market here goes berserk. For those that need to travel a little further in their day to day endeavours, the airport is less than 30 minutes away whilst you're barely a little more from the CBD. You'll head up the neat bitumen driveway, pass the row of immaculately trimmed hedges and arrive at the foot of the residence. Ascend the grand front staircase and before you enter the large double doors, you'll look back to realise just how elevated you are right here…the breezes are constant, cool and cross-flowing as you'll see for yourself. Head inside and you'll elevate your senses into a world of luxury and style where the brilliance and individuality of the design must impress you. You'll look straight ahead and right through to the backyard as the central breezeway provides easy airflow and an abundance of natural light – perhaps this area would make the perfect home office, library or simply a stunning sitting room as you've probably never seen a room like it, nor will in the future. To your right is the sunken family room that offers abundant flexibility perhaps a living area, a dining area, music room or a library…the options are endless. To the left of the doorway, you'll love the gorgeous sunken formal lounge and semi-separated formal dining area that provides a toasty combustion heater. By now, you've probably started to notice the finer details…and there's plenty of them – brand new carpet, new paint (external and internal), new blinds, new curtains, ducted air-conditioning…and the most mesmeric Herringbone parquetry flooring that you've ever seen. Alongside the casual dining area, you'll discover the beautifully renovated kitchen that provides a true marble feature piece that adorns the smooth 40mm stone bench tops with waterfall edges, a series of pendent lights, recessed sinks, lots of drawers, space for a double door fridge with plumbing and finally, a hand-selected array of European stainless steel appliances that include a Miele canopy-style range hood, a recessed 5-burner gas cook top, an integrated microwave, an oven and a dishwasher – everything that any quality chef could possibly want. Adjoining this kitchen, there's a lovely light-filled casual dining area and this opens up to a wonderfully private courtyard that's made ever-so-private by a bricked wall, shielding you from anyone looking in – this area is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee as you hear nothing but the sweet sounds of the local birdlife. Back inside, you'll soon discover the separate family room (or media room) that's almost behind the kitchen – like many of the rooms of this abode, there's a plethora of huge glass panels that allow light and breezes to meander on through with ease…and this delightful space offers vaulted ceilings, direct access outside and overlooks the pool. Start to wander down the hallway and you'll pass the third bathroom (complete with shower, toilet and 2-Pac vanity) and as you'd expect from a design of this standard, it offers 2-way access to the pool area. There's a broom cupboard and if you hadn't noticed it before, you'll see the outlets for the ducted vacuum system. You'll then arrive at the palatial master bedroom…with a huge walk-in robe, an additional split system air-conditioner, direct access to the pool area and a truly lavish ensuite that features a spa bath, twin vanities with solid marble counter-tops, a double shower, a separate toilet and two additional built-in linen and storage cupboards, this is luxury at its' very best. Bedroom 2 is close by and provides a built-in robe and ceiling fan, and then you'll come to the split level staircase that leads both up and down… You choose upstairs first and you'll immediately arrive in the spacious teenage retreat with large built-in cupboard for your games. Right nearby, there's a huge separate office with built-in shelves – the ideal place to work from home or provide your kids with their own room to do their homework. The main bathroom provides a double shower, separate bath and vanity whilst the separate toilet also features an external vanity for your convenience. Right at the end of the residence, you'll find the remaining three bedrooms that all feature built-in robes and ceiling fans (with two offering virtually floor-to-ceiling glass panels that overlook the lovely treetop vista across the front of the home). You'll head back across the striking timber floors, down the staircase and into the remote triple-lock-up garage with epoxy flooring and at the rear of the garage, there's a fantastic gymnasium or storage area. The separate laundry is also close-by and offers direct access to the clothesline and backyard. The backyard has a grassy area that's ideal for pets of pets to run around play. The rear paved area leads you directly to the enormous 90,000 litre tropical in-ground swimming pool – quite honestly, there are hotel resort pools that aren't as big as this one. It provides it's own splash area for the kids, a cascading rock water feature and a little side deck where you can set up a poolside hammock or table and chairs for a poolside cocktail. On the other side of the pool, you'll find the monstrous cabana that offers an open fireplace, drop-down café-style blinds, a timber bench and a brand new stainless steel Matador BBQ. Additionally, there's a double shed with power that is accessed down the side of the home and furthermore, the bitumen area is extended so that there's a perfect space for a caravan or large boat. What's such a unique aspect of this property is the position – head through the rear gate and you can explore the leafy nature reserve where you'll see koalas, wallabies, water dragons and a huge array of birdlife. You can take some walking paths that lead you straight to 'Bullocky Rest' and Lake Samsonvale where you can enjoy a cheeky glass of wine and cheese platter as you watch the sunset over the water for one of the most spectacular sunset views anywhere in Brisbane. Other notable features of this property include tinted windows, a back-to-base security system, an intercom system, an electric hot water system and a restored terracotta tiled roof with insulation.
