Your first impression will be that this home has been hidden away here on its almost ¾ acre garden for nearly 100 years. No! It is less than 2 decades old and just a perfectly beautiful & very well maintained reproduction Queenslander nestled into gardens that merge into the rainforest setting in the quietest part of Wongawallen Road. This is where the dappled morning sunshine warms the rear of the home and the birds sing all day long. It feels far removed from town, yet it is only a few minutes by car up to the Eagle Heights shops.
This home isn’t hard to find. It is just tucked in behind its exotic front gardens on a part of Wongawallen Road that receives very little passing traffic. The main thing you see is the split bitumen driveway with one part of the driveway heading up to the paved parking area at the front of the home & the other branch going down along the side of the home to the 4 car garage with electronic door hidden away under the rear of the home.
So let us imagine that we have arrived at the visitor parking area and head along the paved path to those lovely old fashioned lattice gates leading to the front verandah. The gates open and you step right into yesterday the moment your feet touch the verandah. A strong security door open to the lovely leadlight front door and you step into the hallway with its 9 foot insulated ceilings, decorative cornices, dado and picture rails plus polished timber floor. You have already been captivated by what you see and the feeling that you have been transported back about 100 years.
The promise of the hallway is retained throughout this home with its huge lounge room, semi-separate dining room and beautiful timber kitchen with its breakfast bar looking out into the wilderness. Further exploration reveals 3 double bedrooms with walk-in robes, a sweet single bedroom with bay window and built-in robe, an office and 2 gorgeous bathrooms. The decor throughout is reminiscent of the past and every where you look the windows have been made extra large to provide a perfect natural green view as the living backdrop.
There are so many little features and extras here that it is hard to know where to begin. Maybe we should just a few of them! Let us mention the storage which includes a large walk-in pantry in the kitchen and 2 big linen closets. Then check out the water supply. Not just one, but two 8,000 gallon water tanks collect from this large roof covering the 28 square home. And, the water quality is protected by a water filter system to ensure no bugs get through to you. As well as the back to base security system, the home is protected by stout security screens and window locks as well. As this short but important list indicates, there are indeed many extras that add to the comfort and convenience of living here.
The final crowning glory here is the lovely exotic gardens with paved pathways, terraces and outdoor garden sitting and dining areas that seem to blend into the rainforest so perfectly. Yes, this is a garden full of nature where birds of many species gather. The local Kookaburras are special friends, but just about every bird you can think of lives in your back garden or in the untouched (& never to be touched) rainforest that borders the back boundary.
If you love that special Queenslander ambience and you dream of living in quiet natural beauty, please take to time to see this home. You will be so glad you did!
