Boasting 4 beds, 2 baths and multiple indoor and outdoor living and entertaining spaces - this home does more than just simply top Santa's "nice" listit's also packed full of fabulous features which make it a warm and inviting family home.
In fact, Duke Realty Director and selling agent Sam Patterson is describing this home as "the ultimate Christmas cracker!" as an affordable property wrapped neatly on the outside with a number of treats and surprises to be found within.
THE RESIDENCE
A team of elves have been busy readying this 2012-built property with all the trimmings including new grass, paint and carpets, leaving little else to do but sit back and enjoy this gift of a home:
Decking the halls at the front of this property's family-friendly floorplan are 3 light-filled and generously proportioned bedrooms all with built-in robes so you'll never be stuck with no crib for your bed. Serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom and large laundry with separate toilet, as far as wish lists go this property ticks all the boxes as it unwraps beyond the front door.
Located mid-way down the hall, just beyond the initial 3 bedrooms is the first of the home's two lovely, large living spaces. Indeed, this bonus room 'tis a reason to be jolly - perfect for use as either a large home office, separate TV room or kids' playroom/family retreat.
A spacious, air-conditioned master bedroom is a room for all seasons and a fabulous surprise located privately towards the rear of the home. Boasting a generous walk-in-robe and its own private ensuite, this parents retreat is tucked quietly off to the side of a merry and bright main living space which forms the true heart of the home.
A large kitchen conveniently located alongside a free-flowing, open-plan dining and lounge space ensures a festive atmosphere as the home's main living and entertaining zone unfolds. Bring family feasts to the table in the chic modern kitchen which delivers abundant storage, wrap-around bench space and a suite of quality Australian-made appliances including ceramic cooktop and stainless steel under bench oven and range hood.
A private, covered rear patio with ceiling fan ensures you'll always enjoy the most wonderful time of the year. Extending beyond to a low-maintenance, wrap-around back yard, there's plenty of space for your own mischievous little elves or pet reindeers to run wild, with even Santa's workshop able to be accommodated in the form of a lock-up garden shed.
This property also boasts secure dual car accommodation courtesy of a lock-up double garage, plus, with wider-than usual side set-backs for a small lot, the opportunity also exists for side access for your sleigh, trailer, jetski or other toys.
THE LOCATION & LIFESTYLE
A number of features of this home's fantastic location are sure to make you think all your Christmases have come at once:
• On a generous parcel totalling 480m2 of land, this home's location too is the gift that keeps on giving as you find yourself located midway down a quiet yet welcoming family-friendly street.
Find plenty of cheer as you are located close to quality local schools and childcare centres, shops and parks. With the soccer nets, basketball hoop and skate ramps of nearby Pat Hayes Park located at the foot of the street across Whitehill Road, the range of sporting facilities and recreational options at your doorstep ensure fun and frivolity is never far away.
Close to public transport you can leave your sleigh parked in the garage, while also enjoying easy highway access for a direct pass to Brisbane or a clear run to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
Positioned just minutes to the the University of Southern Queensland's Ipswich campus and Ipswich CBD and located in a quiet pocket just off one of south-east Queensland's major growth corridors, study and work options close at hand hold promise for a happy new year in your happy new home.
With Brisbane's successful 2032 Olympic bid also promising excellent opportunities for growth thanks to a pipeline of major infrastructure projects, the market is stirring so don't miss this opportunity to establish yourself in the local market by securing this quality house - equally capable of being a very rentable investment or much-loved family home.
ALL YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
If all you want for Christmas is a generously-proportioned, low-maintenance home in a family-friendly location, then there's no doubting this property will jingle your bells.
However, with the borders opening up and an influx of visitors expected to Queensland from the country's southern poles, it won't be just Santa Claus coming to town this Christmas. So, with the demand for local property still yet to peak, don't wait for the Boxing Day sales to snag yourself a bargain, as this is one property that won't be sitting with that elf on the shelf for very long.
In fact, as selling agent Sam Patterson notes, "Having previously sold another property in this street, I can attest to the area's appeal for both local owner-occupiers and interstate investors with its combination of affordability, rentability, local amenity and broad family appeal. I'm confident this home will make someone's Christmas which is why we've pressed ahead with bringing this property to market today."
So, whatever your reason, whatever the season, the message is clear - do not delay.
You better not shout.
You better not cry.
Don't wait to miss out
on this awesome buy.
