This is a residence that is bound to wildly excite you! Situated in a quiet leafy street in the ever-tightly held suburb of McDowall, this gorgeous renovated home provides plenty of wonderfully unique attributes that are sure to impress. Offering plenty of living space over both levels, fabulous outdoor entertaining areas, a sparkling pool, luxurious finishes and the picture-perfect position, there's nothing left to want…and everything to desire. You'll head into Gleason Street and are to be suitably impressed with how close you are to all amenities – shops, schools, parks, buses, arterial roads…even the CBD and airport are in reasonably close proximity – no wonder quality homes in McDowall rarely come to the market for sale. If you're observant, you'll know that this property backs right onto the leafy Raven Street Reserve – imagine having no rear neighbours and untold privacy…definitely a rarity around here. You'll ascend the gently sloping driveway and immediately notice the azure blue lagoon-style sparkling in-ground swimming pool with covering shade sail – a fabulous place for the kids to play and despite being at the front of the home, it's actually very private. There's a lovely front verandah that leads you right inside and you'll head up the internal stairs and into the huge air-conditioned formal lounge…a lovely place to enjoy time with your family after dinner. The space leads directly outside to the charming front balcony…the most mesmeric place in the home where you can enjoy a chardonnay with your loved one and watch the spectacular sun set behind the distant mountain tops. Back inside, you'll head into the light-filled casual dining area and into the breath-taking gourmet kitchen…a beautifully renovated amalgamation of dark galaxy granite bench tops, an identical galaxy granite splash back, white 2-Pac cabinetry, recessed sinks, room for a double door fridge and upmarket appliances that include an induction cook top, a Bosch dishwasher, twin stainless steel ovens and a stainless steel canopy-style rangehood. This is a sensational place to create a meal in anyone's language. Head out the large glass sliding door and you'll arrive at the covered rear deck – a fantastic area to entertain many with the nature reserve as your backdrop. You'll head back inside, down the hallway and arrive at the plush master bedroom that offers air-conditioning, direct access to the front deck, a huge walk-in robe and a stylish ensuite with shower, vanity and toilet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are located nearby – each providing a built-in robe, air-conditioning and ceiling fan. There's plenty of storage in the huge array of linen cupboards (as well as a secret laundry chute), the main bathroom is superbly renovated and offers a separate shower and bath, a chic 2-Pac vanity and striking flooring and there's also a separate toilet. You may have noticed that there's gorgeous hardwood timber floors under the carpet, LED downlights and fresh paint. Head downstairs and you'll be suitably impressed with the storage cupboard under these internal stairs…and you'll quickly realise that this area is legal height (a rarity for a home of this age). There's another bedroom (or study area), a spacious family room with a bricked-in bar, access to the front verandah, another separate bedroom with air-conditioning and a ceiling fan and a third bathroom complete with a shower, a 2-Pac vanity and a toilet. If that's not enough space, one side of the double lock-up garage there's also a brilliantly designed office or craft room…but this space can be removed to maintain the double garage if this is your requirement. Otherwise, there's ample storage room plus a single remote lock-up garage. Extra features include a 5 KW solar system, 2 x garden sheds, a shade sail down the side of the home (ideal to house plants) and finally, access from the rear of the property through the nature reserve to store camper trailers or the like. There's so much to this amazing property and discerning buyers will be quick to recognise the scarcity – Be Quick!
