The charm of an old established street lined with Jacarandahs and Coral Trees meets with the ease of village living in this new and stylish modern home located within just a couple of minutes walk of the local convenience store and the wonderful bakery in OLD Eagle Heights. The home is perfectly positioned on the north-east facing level red soil block and looks out across the street to our much loved Staffsmith Park that seems to be a favourite meeting place for so many of the local folk. The park boasts a secure children’s playground as well as a fully fenced off-leash area where the local dog owners take their canine friends to let off steam while they chatter to their human friends.

Yesterday’s facade in best Federation tradition conceals a thoroughly modern home designed for today’s modern and informal lifestyle. The classic front verandah that wraps around to the eastern side of the home is traditional in every detail, but is better than most original front verandahs as it has a fully timber lined ceiling. The front entry foyer has a door immediately on the left which open into the private and light home office which looks out over both front and side verandahs via 2 large picture windows. The large open plan living room starts at the front entry and flows right through to the glass doors opening out onto the back deck. On its way to the back deck it passes the open kitchen with its neutral toned cabinets, light toned Caesarstone bench tops and stainless steel appliances including dishwasher and pull-out rangehood. Bamboo hardwood floating timber floors are an attractive feature of the entire living and kitchen area.

Traditional high skirting boards and ornate cornices along with 9 foot tall ceilings and recessed lighting are featured throughout the home including the 3 double bedrooms and home office which all have attractively toned carpeted floors. The main bedroom with its lovely bay window comes with a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom while the other 2 bedrooms have sliding double door walk-in robes. Both the main and ensuite bathrooms are attractively tiled in warm neutral shades and both have modern seamless shower screens. There is also a separate toilet for convenient family living as well as ample storage in this home including 2 linen closets.

We did wonder if the builder has shares in the local concrete company when we saw just how much concrete has gone into creating the driveway and paths. The new owners will certainly be thankful for those above average features during our wet seasons. Of course the picture perfect fully lined double garage with its electronic door is just another indication of how much planning and thought did go in to creating just the right home to fit into this friendly environment where surrounding homes are decades old. Lawns are already established and some initial landscaping has already been put in place, including those ever popular agapanthus. Good quality timber fencing runs along 2 boundaries, so making a fully enclosed garden will be all to easy. Just finish with a white picket front fence for visual perfection.
