Auction Location: Onsite. Near the crest of a hill in St Lucia, with sweeping views of the leafy district from Mt Coot-Tha to Toowong Village, this circa 1910 Character Home offers beautiful manicured gardens, a glimmering salt-water pool, wrap-around verandah and a covered back deck on an 810sqm double block with charming period features over 269sqm of internal space. You will feel right at home walking through the front door of 21 Highview Terrace. An extra-wide hallway guides you past three spacious bedrooms, two with French-door access to the wrap-around verandah. The large, formal lounge/dining room in the middle of the home has three side-by-side double-hung windows, allowing light to pour into the space and offering lovely views of Mt Coot-tha. Combined with the elevation, the layout of the home lets the breezes keep it cool throughout Summer. At the rear of the house, a large country-style kitchen offers gas cooking with Smeg appliances, including a dishwasher, full-length windows with a leafy outlook and a breakfast bar connecting to the informal meals area. From there, bi-fold doors open out onto a covered rear deck providing the perfect spot for entertaining and keeping an eye on the kids while they splash about in the pool. Surrounded by picturesque gardens, you're sure to spend many an afternoon and evening enjoying the calming sound of the water feature trickling into the pool. Raised and built-in underneath in 2001, the ground floor contains two newly carpeted bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, a second bathroom, a large well-equipped laundry, a storage room currently utilised as a wine cellar, as well as under-stairs storage. The double automatic garage has direct access to the lower level, and includes ample hanging racks, a work bench and another large storage room. Two covered patios provide even more outdoor space in which to relax, the driveway is large enough to accommodate four cars and the rear half of the block is fully fenced. And, of course, all the classic trimmings of a Queensland character home – VJ's, double-hung windows, intricate skirting boards and architraves, extra-high ceilings, breezeways and fanlights. All of this in a highly sought-after and enviable location; just 650m from Ironside State School - one of Queensland's most desirable primary schools, 900m from Indooroopilly State High, 1.5km from St Peter's and Brisbane Boys' College, 1.6km to The University of Queensland, 1.8km to Brigidine College, 2km to the Toowong QASMT, 2.5km to Indooropilly Shopping Centre and only 4km to the CBD.
