Set on a wide-frontage 658m2 block this single level home offers immediate family livability, unique versatility and genuine value-adding potential within a quiet yet convenient location. Making the most of its private north-facing aspect, the property's living and entertaining areas spill out to an inviting saltwater swimming pool and covered alfresco patio. More spacious than many homes of its era, the floorplan encompasses huge central open-plan communal areas, a separate light-filled family room with beautiful timber lined vaulted ceilings, 3 large bedrooms with floor to ceiling wardrobes, plus a private home office/studio with its own bathroom. To the rear an additional paved entertaining courtyard and secure lawns offer further options for outdoor dining, children and the beloved family pet! Separating this address from others of its type is the huge air-conditioned granny flat with private entry. It presents the perfect accommodation for ageing parents, teenagers, extended family members or the work-from-home professional. With its rich hardwood floors, kitchen and huge updated bathroom the one-bedroom-plus-study unit could alternatively be rented out to provide a second passive income stream for buyers. Already enjoying the luxury of reverse cycle air-conditioning and an updated kitchen with modern appliances including 900mm ceramic cooktop and dishwasher, there is also scope to enhance sections of the main residence including its original central bathroom if desired. Additional features include a large master bedroom overlooking the pool; rich timber wall paneling, outstanding storage (floor-to ceiling cupboards throughout); ceiling fans, security/insect screening; separate internal laundry; solar panels; garden shed and a single remote garage plus additional driveway for off-street parking. Situated at the high end of the street, this desirable family address is within easy walking distance of local cafes, shops and a gourmet IGA, as well as excellent CBD bus links, the fabulous Clem Jones fitness/swim Centre, Carina Leagues and Bowls Clubs; with access in moments to top state and private schools, Westfield Carindale, bikeways, the forthcoming Minnippi Golf Course and Gateway Motorway. An absolute must-view in this popular pocket of high-growth Carina.
