One of the first thing that hits you as you walk into this house is that every window looks out onto the trees. In fact, the mix of greenery, light and space make this a contemporary home which gives the spirits a lift at every turn. It is currently owned by an artist and her family, and the rich colour palette of deep blues and reds blend with the timber floors and natural outlook create a very desirable home.
This is a home that was designed with a lot of thought, and it has an individual character that makes it different to any of its neighbours. With large open living spaces, three well proportioned bedrooms plus an office/rumpus room, two bathrooms and a pot belly stove provide enough space for an executive couple, a family or empty nesters. A few stout logs and the stove makes even the coldest winter night a very a cosy occasion.
For the warmer parts of the year, contemporary louvres and french doors create environmentally sustainable flow-through ventilation - plus there is also reverse-cycle air-conditioning for those inevitable few days in the Brisbane summer where the heat becomes unbearable.
A large timber deck puts you out among the trees and, with a view that extends across the treetops to the broad expanse of Akuna Oval, it's a perfect spot for a barbecue and a few sundowners, as the last rays of the sun disappear over the horizon. Due to the french doors and expansive windows, this view is shared by the dining and living room at the back of the home. Downstairs is a space which opens into the backyard and is equally suitable for use as an office, a rumpus or a studio. This is a home that easily lends itself to creative activities.
Big open spaces and high ceilings are features throughout, and the kitchen has an open plan design that integrates it neatly with the dining area. An island bench with an overhang allows casual drop-ins to sit and chat while you are preparing meals or pottering around the kitchen. A renovation several years back saw a new kitchen and bathrooms installed, among other new features.
The yard wraps around one side from the front to the back and is divided so that pets can be restricted to one area or the other. At just shy of 650sqm, there is plenty of space for kids or pets, and lots of other green space in the local area if you so desire.
With half a dozen shopping centres within five minutes' drive, including Indooroopilly Shoppingtown, the location lets you live among the trees without sacrificing convenience. Also, with its position in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is set well away from all the traffic that such shopping outlets attract. A private street presence makes it ideal for anyone married with children, or who just prefer to keep themself to themself. Yet for all the talk about leafy settings and quiet neighbourhoods, it is a very quick drive to the Centenary Highway, or an easy walk for buses which go directly to the city, Indooroopilly, or the Centenary suburbs.
