Set high on the ridge in a quiet street this property has the right mix of location, accessibility, charm and tranquility. The gorgeous triple gabled, 4 bedroom Queenslander has been renovated and extended to a high standard by the current owners. The character and original facade have been retained in the architect designed extension. Many of the original features such as the high ceilings, striking polished hardwood timber floors and VJ walls transition into the extension, providing a seamless architectural flow through to the more contemporary rear of the home. Other charming elements include picture rails, leadlight windows and selected period light fittings. Energy efficient features have been incorporated throughout the property and the generous, elevated 708m2 LMR allotment is located in one of Norman Park's premier streets overlooking Poets corner. It offers sensational views from the kitchen, rear deck and master bedroom, and also offers city skyline views from the undercroft of the house. It has excellent public transport options and is just 12 minute drive to the CBD. Or take a leisurely stroll to the Club Lime fitness centre, Dovetail for coffee or perhaps a 20 minute walk to the Hawthorne Garage, cinemas and eateries. The Norman Park State School is located a short walk along Agnew Street and the home is also within walking distance of Lourdes Hill College and Churchie Grammar School. The large, covered entertainers' deck is the perfect spot to watch Brisbane fireworks and the flyover during Riverfire. The deck also looks out over the Gabba (Woolloongabba Sports Ground), which is located 2.5 kilometres away and which will be redeveloped to become the main stadium for our 2032 Olympic Games. The designer kitchen is well-appointed with exquisite granite bench tops extending through bi-fold windows over a servery to the deck. The master bedroom and ensuite is truly a retreat. It has been designed to maximise the views and the result is luxury resort style with French doors opening to the deck. A key benefit of the well-integrated floor plan is the easy all-weather access from the double carport and garage directly into the house by a covered bridge - no stairs. Provision has also been made for the installation of an electric panel lift door to the large double carport which has clearance for high vehicles. The large undercroft of the house is concreted, mostly legal height and provides loads of potential to add value through building additional living space. Approved plans with working drawings are available for an additional 80sqm of living space with its own city views and a choice of either internal or external access. The gently sloping, fully fenced and dog friendly yard has a low maintenance landscaped garden bordering a lush grassed area where children can safely play. Privacy is ensured by the mature trees with a beautiful Poinciana providing shade during the summer months. You will also find a selection of fruit trees comprising mango, fig, bananas, lime, red pawpaw and passionfruit.
