Completely transformed from top to bottom, this 1960's character home now represents a masterful fusion of classic and contemporary styles. Situated in the heart of Hendra against a magnificent backdrop of lush tropical greenery, the private 620sqm address offers luxurious indoor-outdoor spaces for today, plus the rarity of limitless future options. Stripped right back to its frame, the home's impeccable redesign encompassed expert restoration of original elegant period details, the creation of a functional flowing family layout with new rear alfresco entertaining deck, and beautiful high-end finishes throughout. A fresh and timeless white colour palette has been woven across the expansive elevated open-plan living areas and into the three spacious bedrooms. Enhanced by high ceilings, rich polished hardwood floors and traditional casement windows, the fully air-conditioned residence showcases a stunning bespoke kitchen with stone benchtops, feature pendent lighting, plumbed double fridge space and European Bosch appliances including induction cooktop and dishwasher. Serviced by a superb central modern bathroom with stone-top vanity and designer Grohe tapware, each bedroom features huge floor-to-ceiling mirrored robes. The ethereal master retreat is defined by its soft drapery, exclusive deck access and lush treetop vistas. Outside, the fully fenced grounds offer endless sunny lawn and paved space for children to ride bikes or scooters, bounce on a trampoline, shoot hoops, or play backyard cricket. The rear garden also boasts a dedicated fire-pit area and further large covered entertaining patio, whilst retaining plenty of room and access to add a swimming pool if desired. A single remote-entry carport is accompanied by excellent secure onsite accommodation for three further vehicles including a boat or caravan. Fully insulated, the home remains cool in summer and cosy in winter, while premium Thermalite plantation shutters add a stylish touch to the interior's climate efficiency. Reverse cycle-air-conditioning and a combination of retractable and magnetic fly screens throughout welcome fresh cross-breezes, with ceiling fans also featuring in all bedrooms. The secure lower level of the residence includes a large separate laundry and vast powered storage or workshop space with scope for use as a kids' retreat or home office (with just a few minor touches). Alternatively, take advantage of the potential to further raise and build-in the level adding bedrooms, living spaces and ultimately significant value to the property*. Even better, as with all post-war homes the option exists to eventually follow the lead of many neighbours and construct a brand-new luxury residence on the prestigiously positioned block with expansive 20 metre frontage*. In the meantime, simply move-in and enjoy the luxurious home's picture-perfect street appeal and desirable location just footsteps from bus stops and two popular local cafes including Dandelion and Driftwood. Within catchment and walking distance of the coveted Hendra State School and Aviation High, this address is also a short stroll to Our Lady Help of Christians Primary, beautiful T C Beirne Park and Hendra train station. Offering swift access to elite private colleges (including St Margaret's and Clayfield), it is moments from the local shopping village with Woolworths; Racecourse Road's lifestyle precinct, Portside and arterial roads connecting with the CBD, Airport and Coasts. Presenting both an unmatched lifestyle and unique long-term real estate opportunity for growing, executive or downsizing families alike, the gorgeous 21 Matong Street is not to be missed. *Subject to Brisbane City Council Approval
