Yet you’re just minutes from shops, schools and the city!

It’s true. This classic and tropically appropriate residence has occupied a full half acre of land at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Mindham Park, and been home to one happy family for almost 40 years. Now the time has come for another lucky family to make it their home to enjoy and cherish.

You won’t find another like it. 2,142 sq m of lawn and garden stretch before the home, where they seamlessly join the park. Tall trees, vegetable gardens, prolific fruit and citrus trees surround the house, so the outlook is serene and the crops abound – you can virtually be self-sufficient in this magnificent property.

Once in the front door, you will see a door on the right to a spacious workshop – there’s a bathroom on this level, which is ideally located for those who have been gardening or playing footy in the park! Guests enter at this point, where a few stairs lead them to the expansive living/dining room. A skylight bathes the internal garden with natural light so the plants are lush and thriving – your slice of nature indoors. These rooms have windows on both sides so you can look out to the green view of the lawn and park beyond, or step out to the covered verandahs – perfect for al fresco dining or just to relax in the cool breezy surrounds.

The kitchen has great views out to the gardens and park, and opens to the verandah. It’s big enough for a table, so the family can enjoy quick meals in here as well.

A few more timber steps lead up to the family wing of the home. There’s a light-filled study, with room for two desks, and a bathroom with separate toilet. All five bedrooms are generously sized, with three savoring the view of gardens and park – the perfect way to start each day. The master has a large dressing room.

The home as the benefits of a Queenslander’s cross breezes and air flow generally and the distinctive design statement of classic ’70s architecture through the use of timber and glass. There’s an abundance of space everywhere you look, so you’ll never have the feeling of being cooped up in a suburban home. Expand your horizons in every way in this extraordinary residence with just one neighbour, an abundance of bird and plant life and a green and peaceful setting that will make you feel like you’re living in the country.
