A bricked path leads to the front door, well protected from the vagaries of the weather by the front veranda.
The classical timber front door and side panels are set with wonderful stained glass that sets the western sun sparkling as it filters into the house.
As you step into the home, you’ll be greeted by a stunning tiled entry hall with soaring cathedral ceilings and brick feature walls.
The formal lounge and dining rooms are spacious and elegantly carpeted, with the lounge featuring an open fireplace, reminiscent of yesteryear, and the dining room having direct access to the kitchen, making it perfect for entertaining.
The accommodation wing boasts a main bathroom, with a bath, shower and a vanity. There is a separate WC outside for your convenience.
There are three bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring timber look floors, a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite with shower, toilet, and vanity, and built-in wardrobes with timber venetian blinds adorning the windows. The other two bedrooms are also generously sized and carpeted, with built-in wardrobes and fans. As with all the bedrooms, there are timber venetian blinds adorning the windows.
The public areas of the home are open plan, with a large family room, meals area, and kitchen, all tiled and featuring cathedral ceilings and a large air conditioner to keep the home cool. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and a large central table for family meals. Sliding glass doors lead out to a vast undercover entertainment area, paved with lights and power, and beyond that, you’ll find manicured lawns and a restful private space protected by established palms and natives.
This property also boasts a separate second building, featuring an extensive carport with electric gate security that can easily accommodate 4 to 6 vehicles, a large workshop with 2 secure, lockable roller doors, and a self-contained granny flat with a lounge area, separate bedroom, air conditioner, and skylight, as well as a good-sized kitchen with a built-in pantry and a bathroom with a shower, toilet, and extractor.
Behind the granny flat is a double garden shed and a large water tank.
As well as the tank to cater for water shortages, the home has 19 solar panels that minimise any power usage.
Conveniently located in a sought after part of Shailer Park, this property is surrounded by quality homes and only a short drive to the Logan Hyperdome, with hundreds of shops, restaurants, cinema’s and of course the large Logan Bus Interchange, offering services all over Brisbane.
A number of schools are close by including Shailer Park Primary and High, John Paul College and St Mathews primary and Chisholm College.
For the sports minded, there are four golf courses within a few minutes, a sports centre and any number of playing fields and sports clubs.
Shailer Park is only minutes from access to the M1 and Ipswich motorways putting the CBD, Gold Coast, western suburbs and even Brisbane airport less than ½ hours travel.
Ideal for the angler, the Logan River is renowned for fishing and crabbing, and the fisherman’s paradise of Moreton Bay is also only 1/2 hour away.
For the kids, Dreamworld, Wet n Wild and Movieworld are also just a 20 minutes drive down the freeway – so why not buy an annual pass
This truly unique family home offers the perfect blend of character, convenience, and comfort – a must-see for any discerning buyer!
