Designed by the architect owner, this striking residence stands out from the crowd with its distinctive look and many unique features. The home is contemporary in design yet draws inspiration from the characteristics of a traditional Queenslander, elevated with plenty of shading and the use of lightweight materials and a timeless zincalume roof. It sits in a high set position on a beautiful 1.5ha (3.7 acres) and faces north to a beautiful treed ridge line. Step inside to discover a flexible, light filled and dynamic interior centred around a vast open plan living area with extra-height raked ceilings, industrial-style lights and plenty of windows for crossflow ventilation. The layout flows over a single level with a well thought out floorplan and a choice of areas to retreat to, or come together in the large combined kitchen, dining and family space. Rooms and spaces are all generous in size, all bedrooms have built in robes, and in addition, there is plenty of storage. The new 'non-slip' aggregate concrete driveway can easily accommodate eight parked vehicles, plus there are established gardens featuring easy to maintain native vegetation and spacious cleared areas. There's even a permanent dam and an area of regenerating bush that's filled with native birdlife and fauna. The architect's heart and soul has been poured into the design and detailed finishing of this home and it comes with a raft of creative touches that make living here highly versatile in its options and an absolute delight. It enjoys quiet privacy while being situated in a sought-after section of Whiteside that's just 30 minutes to the CBD, and a few minutes to schools, shops, trains and the new University at Petrie.
