Queenslander a stylish winner

IF room for kids to run around on the lawn, have a vegetable garden and maybe even some chooks is your thing, this very elegant Queenslander on a lovely 1012sq m block will appeal. Gordonvale continues to represent great value and this five-bedroom home would no doubt be priced much higher if it were closer to town – but it is unlikely it would be on such a large, fully fenced block.

The smart blue home, built in the 1940s and tastefully renovated, is on an established street of similarly-sized blocks and is beautiful and practical.

It has golden timber floors with wide floorboards, lofty ceilings, vertical join walls, chandeliers, pendant lighting, casement windows and decorative features.

The chic kitchen has white marble lookalike benchtops, tiled splashback, double farmhouse sinks, electric oven and cooktop, integrated dishwasher, and ample space for a large refrigerator. There is floor-to-ceiling cabinetry for storage and a walk-in pantry.

An oversized master bedroom has plenty of storage and shares the well-appointed main bathroom with a free-standing bath.

An external solid timber staircase leads down to a ground floor with a massive open-plan living area with concrete and tiled floors and high ceilings.

Two bedrooms are generously-sized, and share the second bathroom with a separate toilet.

This lower level also has the laundry and options to extend the kitchenette area – perfect for teenagers or extra guests.

The house is airconditioned.

The property has an electric gate and easy side access to the shed.

There is also a little cabin to the rear for storage or a teen retreat.

There is bore water and a large powered shed.
