Your private escape

Glorious Spring Street property delivers an idyllic lifestyle opportunit­y.

-

WHEN the current owners discovered the land adjacent to The Toowoomba Golf Course, they knew instantly this was going to be the site for the special home they needed to build.

The 8094sq m allotment has retained many of the mature trees that once bordered the original cottage that was used by the Club for decades as ‘on-course’ accommodat­ion for visiting golfers.

Once acquired, architect plans were drawn for an unique two-storey brick residence with a distinctiv­e roofline, high ceilings and the use of high-quality timber joinery throughout; as well as an exquisite landscape garden design to complement the privacy and appeal of the existing setting.

The end result is remarkable; delivering a beautifull­y designed and built two-level residence with a large semi-detached covered pool complex and separate self-contained guest pavilion.

A long, brick-paved driveway leads visitors to a designated parking area away from the triple-car garage and workshop beyond.

There are six bedrooms, some ensuited, on both levels of the home to accommodat­e for a variety of family and guest circumstan­ces.

The front entry, with the bespoke curved stairwell and crafted ironwork, is flooded with northern light and adjacent to a spectacula­r formal living and dining area with high ceilings, sandstone fireplace and polished Blackbutt timber floors.

A spacious well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances, granite tops and stunning Burr Maple timber joinery is to the north east.

The lower floor also offers a very spacious family room and a large office (complete with Tasmanian Oak desk) and a fitted sewing room.

The garden is a delightful sanctuary, presenting the most extraordin­ary array of specimen trees and plants, large areas of lawn and the convenienc­e of a watering system supplied by bore, tank and town water.

A discreetly placed 12m x 6m shed makes an ideal workshop/garden facility.

Zoned low density residentia­l, this superbly private residence offers an idyllic lifestyle opportunit­y in the most private of settings – and all within five minutes' drive to St. Vincent's Hospital and east side amenities beyond.
