Rolling green lawns and established gardens shaded by mature trees.
A beautiful outdoor haven set around a crystal clear pool to celebrate the good times.
A home that brings the outside in. A man cave in a fully insulated shed that looks out across a cleared paddock. Welcome to 118 Mt Crosby Road.

This well presented 2.2 acre property is ideal for a family and/or a home business. A number of rooms can be isolated from the rest of the home with their own separate entry point. All of this is provided in a renovated, light-filled timber home with a perfect northeast orientation. The home embraces the sparkling pool and wrap-around verandah creating an inviting place to spend long summer days.

The position of this property is ideal on a ridge with views and breezes yet just a two minute walk to the last major bus stop for private schools and Kenmore State School.

Upon arrival at the property, the meandering driveway takes you through trees and lawn to a parking bay with space for two cars. Another four car spaces are undercover. You walk through the outdoor pool setting complete with a lounge area surrounded by a Lilly Pilly hedge. A Jacaranda tree stands amidst the garden near the pool promising a show of flowers in the warmer months. The trees beyond add to the feeling of being in an oasis. You picture yourself on the outdoor lounge contemplating dipping into the pool while being handed a cocktail through the open kitchen servery.

Outdoor/indoor living flows easily with most rooms either facing the pool or the verandah. In the morning, the sun comes across the pool, into the kitchen and into every room that looks out to the pool. Summer afternoons are idyllic as the outdoor pool lounge is undercover and the home shades the entire northeasterly entertaining area from the western sun. The verandah runs from northeast to south and is covered to create more shade outside and cooler temperatures inside. The verandah features large tiles that are cool and smooth underfoot.

You step from the verandah into the kitchen crafted from beautiful North Queensland Silver Ash solid timber and stainless steel. In striking contrast, the polished timber floor gleams with the rich dark tones of Blue Gum and Box. The silver pressed metal feature wall shines with sunlight streaming in through the Silky Oak bi-folds that open to the pool.

At night, strategically placed lights throughout the kitchen create a showcase of gleaming surfaces. The light over the Silver Ash dining bench glows softly while you linger over a glass of wine after dinner.

The pride and joy of the kitchen, for any chef, is the restaurant quality full combination AEG steam oven. It is the largest full combination steam oven you can have at home. The kitchen also features an AEG dishwasher and Smeg induction cook top.

The air-conditioned kitchen/lounge area opens to the wrap-around verandah bringing the outside in. The view of the bridge that crosses the tree-lined gully to the cleared paddock is seen through the lounges plate glass doors. The lounge is a serene place to be with family and friends. When the occasion calls for a nightcap, invite your guests into the Whisky Lounge.

The Whisky Lounges glass wall looks through to the pool while Art Nouveau wallpaper lends an elegance and intimacy to the room. It could equally be a stunning dining room or, for a home business owner, a conference room with space for a long table. The Samsung Smart TV can be used for video conferencing and swings out from the wall when you need to watch the cricket from the pool. The slow combustion fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere in the winter months.

Through the door from the Whisky Lounge is a home office, also looking out to the pool. Adjoining the home office is a large bedroom with a separate entry point that has the potential to be another office. As these rooms are next to a bathroom, they could become a complete home business isolated from the rest of the house with their own entry point.

All four bedrooms are double bedrooms with polished timber floors. Three of the bedrooms are air-conditioned. The master bedroom has a walk-in-robe, ensuite, air conditioning and under floor insulation that keeps the timber floor cool underfoot. Through the master bedrooms large windows you can see into the garden. The three other double bedrooms have built-in-robes, good-sized windows and are positioned close to the bathroom.

The laundry has an ample bench, a linen cupboard and direct access to outside with a choice of two clotheslines one is undercover.

Across the lawn next to the large man cave/shed, the water tanks store a total of 66,000 litres of rainwater ensuring plenty of water.

Once you step inside the shed, you appreciate just how large it is. The 12m x 8m fully insulated shed with a 4.5m high ceiling is big enough to park a caravan and a boat and house a deluxe man cave. At one end of the shed is a micro brewery, a bar with beer on tap, a full length billiard table under classic billiard table lighting, a dart board, a small corner stage, disco lighting that dances off the walls, ceiling and floor to the beat of the music and sliding doors that open to an outdoor covered beer garden and a dedicated fire-pit area.

This end of the shed is affectionately known as The Black Hat Inn. On many a Saturday afternoon, the men of the adjoining properties call out to each other to decide whose place theyll have a beer at. No one gets changed. They just hop through the fence. Its a casual drink together. Man time.

The other end of the shed features two roller doors that are, importantly, each 3m wide. Many roller doors are only 2.6m wide, which is not wide enough for a lot of caravans and boats. Caravan and boat access is also the reason that one end of the old tennis court was chosen as the site for the shed. The courts level bitumen surface creates excellent access for large items going into and out of the shed. The high windows of the shed allow natural light in while cleverly maximising wall space for shelving and a workbench.

Back out into the sunshine and across the bridge finds the cleared paddock with potential to be a horse paddock.
