Younger folk seeking a great first home and older folk looking for a place where they can slow down and put up their feet should find this home of particular interest. It is situated in a very short, very quiet street that comes to a dead end about 100 metres further down the hill. The home is set well back on a well elevated 1,227 square metre block with wide street frontage and looks down over the picture perfect front garden. One of its many appealing features is that both home and land are oriented to the north-east for great exposure to the morning winter sun. Another attractive aspect is the 2 quite different views - a long distance view that sees the sea and part of the Gold Coast plus a medium distance view across the pretty front garden and out to tree clad ridges.

As indicated in our introduction, this home has just 2 large bedrooms (although there is plenty of room for extension should the need arise) and a study. It also has a full length front verandah with a paved garden patio below. Both are well protected and sunny in winter as well as being cool and shaded in summer. It is a delightfully spacious and open home with a light filled and expansive open plan lounge plus a semi-separate dining. The “U” shaped kitchen is well planned with ample storage cupboards and is equipped with an upright electric stove and rangehood.

What was once probably a double garage has been converted into a huge workshop and storage area underneath the northern end of the house. A good, solid metal double carport now provides protection for the cars. This large enclosed area under the house would appeal to many tradespeople who need secure dry storage for equipment. It would also be a winner with retired folk who like to spend time creating, fixing and tinkering.

There is really no need to mention that the home is set well back from the street behind a picturesque and well established front garden as the photos clearly show this. However, it is difficult to convey just how attractive this terraced garden with side driveway really is. Open lawns, flower beds and a multitude of shrubs, palms and trees create a sense of relaxation in a garden that is actually very easy to maintain. It has beautiful sitting spots where you can spend your time just listening to the birds and feel as if you are a million miles from suburbia. Yet, it is well located for people wanting to commute to Brisbane or the Gold Coast and not too far from The Eagle Heights Hotel when you are looking for a quick and easy dinner after work.
