Last Listing description (September 2024)

Perfectly positioned on an elevated street within one of Chermside West's most desirable pockets, this immaculately presented two storey home will immediately impress you with its presentation, practical floorplan and architectural style. The home has a two-street frontage, which provides easy access for a boat or caravan, and offers wonderful leafy views of the John Goss Reserve, located immediately opposite.

The home has been fastidiously maintained and upgraded (it has always been owner occupied) and features a masterful mix of generously proportioned living and dining options for a large family, 3 bedrooms (plus a large 4th bedroom option if needed), a well-appointed kitchen and two tidy bathrooms. The home's architectural style is further enhanced by its soaring cathedral ceilings at the entrance and over the lounge area. Buyers will love the alfresco entertaining area which acts as another living space and captures views of the John Goss Reserve, sparkling inground pool and family friendly backyard. The home is set on a sizeable 693qm block, which is fenced and tastefully landscaped.

Surrounded by quality homes, this is a pocket of Chermside West where owners are known for staying long-term. It is opposite the John Goss Reserve, which is amazing for families and within short walking distance of Craigslea Schools and express bus transport to the city (345 route).

Queensland's largest Shopping Centre, Westfield Chermside, is just a short 6-minute drive from the property, and provides the ultimate retail, restaurant and cinema experience.
