Surrounded by trimmed lawns, landscaped garden beds, and an arboured dining patio, this three-bedroom brick highset is all set for a sociable summer of alfresco entertaining! Highlights: - Formal and casual living areas on both floors - Multiple split-system A/Cs and ceiling fans across the home - Handy garden shed and a greenhouse ready for planting! - Extra-height double carport (room for a campervan) plus double garage with home office/study - Just an 8-minute walk (or 2 by car) to Mansfield State School/Mansfield State High From the tiled front entry, a sumptuous timber staircase with white-washed balustrade leads to the first floor, or head straight into the downstairs living room - a generous, fan-cooled combined lounge and sitting area with chic hybrid-timber floors - the perfect space for kids to retreat while you chill out above! There's access from the downstairs living to the back patio and lawns, as well as into the double garage which houses a full bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity, the laundry, and a private home office/study with built-in desk. Upstairs, the home's original honey-toned timber floors span the main social and sleeping areas, with balconies extending front and back through screened glass sliders off the open-plan lounge and dining room. From these fully covered alfresco areas, both with retro floor tiling and side screening, you can take in leafy views over this prized southside suburb. The A/C and fan-cooled lounge/dining room flows into a big kitchen/casual meals area overlooking the backyard. Sporting its original timber trimmed cabinetry (which has some seriously cool recessed handles), this is a room you could consider updating if you wanted to, but it's perfectly functional as it is with loads of cabinetry and all the mod cons in place: electric cooker, rangehood, wall-mounted oven, and dishwasher. At the other end of the upper level are three bedrooms and a main bathroom with a separate shower and bath. All the beds have space-saving built-in robes, with the master enjoying that little burst of extra luxury with an A/C and ceiling fan. We must mention the steel-railed external staircase that spirals its way down from the upper rear balcony to the patio. What a piece of art this is! We also love the whole rear entertaining area with the shade-cloth covered arbour under which you can dine through summer and that greenhouse eager for the arrival of a resident green thumb! There's plenty of room for play on the lawn out back too, for kids and pets. As well as being just a stroll to prized Mansfield State High, from this address it's just a short drive to every amenity: Westfield Mt Gravatt (7 mins), Pacific Motorway (8 mins), Gateway onramp (5 mins), Griffith Uni Nathan Campus (9 mins), and Greenslopes Private Hospital (14 mins). Christmas is coming, so gift your family with the ultimate summer surprise! All information contained herein is gathered from sources we consider to be reliable.
