A wonderful opportunity awaits for those families who would like to embrace a private, countryside lifestyle while the convenience and amenities of suburbia are literally a "stones throw away". On offer is a beautiful, tranquil acre in the middle of suburbia complete with a 1900-1920 Queenslander home with gabled porch. Positioned enticingly behind a huge established, manicured hedge, the c.c.1900's-1920's Queenslander home with 3 large bedrooms upstairs, resides comfortably towards the front of the 4054sqm lot while the huge, tranquil private back yard invites the family to escape into another world. First Impressions: The front of the house provides a visual impact on visitors and passers by with decorative features such as columns, brackets and balustrades. The three-rail dowel balustrading is common of 1900's -1920's era. The two-bay wide verandah with a roofed front gable entrance offers additional shelter to visitors while also providing a more formal entrance. The front door, usually the most ornate door in the home is complete with frosted and coloured glass panels, also indicative of the mid 1910's French doors from the two front bedrooms open to the verandah. An innovation of this style are the steps running parallel to the home. The Home: This wonderful home offers traditional features you would hope to see from the era. *11 foot ceilings *fabulous fretwork *VJ walls *3 extra large bedrooms, the main bedroom at one time had part of the side balcony converted to a walk in robe *a living room, a large separate dining room and large kitchen with dishwasher, gas cooker and pantry.*A family bathroom and additional rumpus area complete upstairs. Several storage areas, laundry and double garaging reside underneath. The home is on a septic system. The Outlook: You will enjoy beautiful, inviting views from the kitchen, the dining room and the rear deck through tree lined, meandering pathways to the inviting, tranquil, large level back yard. The Story: Being over 100 years of age, even though "she" has aged pretty well there are however some wrinkles and weary bones to mend. The beauty of these homes is they were built exceptionally well "back in the day" and with renovation , restoration and rejuvenation the natural beauty of the home will SHINE once again! There is no heritage listing so there is no restriction on the home for renovation. The current family relocated the home from 2nd Avenue in Sandgate back in the 1960's to its current location which at the time was surrounded predominately by farming areas. Gradually others discovered the perfect location, only 5 minutes to waterfront, easy access to the CBD and easy access to both Gold and Sunshine Coasts and farms became the wonderful family suburb of Bracken Ridge. The DREAM for those looking to live in the Suburbs but on Acreage is a rarely fulfilled one.. until now. Rates $560 per quarter. Inspections are by appointment or we invite you to attend the Saturday scheduled Inspection.
