A Fully Renovated Classic Cottage on Five Acres.

This is a true landmark in Brisbane's Western Suburbs with character in abundance and an enviable setting. Set discreetly away from the road and neighbours, "Swensons Cottage" is a century old homestead which has been lovingly restored and modernised. The home is framed by established gardens which ensure a great amount of privacy. Spectacular Gums and Jacarandas shade large areas of open space while the five acres of gently sloping land has a creek passing through it. There's open spaces for horses, the potential to sub-divide (subject to Brisbane City Council approval), the option to establish a second dwelling or simply move in to enjoy the ambience of this amazing location. The property offers plenty of opportunities to be developed further and is in a position that's hard to beat.
This historic weatherboard cottage was built in 1922 using locally sourced hardwood timbers and the recent renovations have been sympathetic to its origins. Thoughtful planning has enhanced the efficient use of space in this compact home. The lounge/dining and kitchen spaces are basically open plan with classic VJ timber panelling, dado rails and high ceilings. The living areas benefit from not only a charming wood heater but reverse-cycle air conditioning and insulation to ensure your year-round comfort.
The updated bathroom has both a large double shower, heated towel rails and a stylish free-standing bath. The three bedrooms all have great separation and the light-filled home office space has two built-in desks but could be utilised for a multitude of purposes. The main bedroom opens directly to the very private front verandah via stylish French doors and boasts a highly flexible "ELFA" modular system to maximise wardrobe space.
The kitchen has everything an enthusiastic cook will want. The farm house sink is framed by a panoramic fixed window which takes advantage of impressive views over the very private backyard. The 900mm Belling stove has electric ovens and a gas cooktop. There's timber bench-tops with recessed lighting, soft-closing drawers, a walk-in pantry and an integrated dishwasher. The dining area is positioned perfectly between the kitchen and the inviting lounge.
Elsewhere on this flood-free property is a carport enclosed on three sides. It already features a workbench and conversion to a lockable garage could be easily achieved. The generous double shed is steel framed and secure with 15 amp power as well as a mains water connection. Currently it is utilised to house a caravan, a workshop, a home gym and general storage. The original laundry on the property is now a rustic greenhouse and the covered gazebo is the ideal spot for barbecues or relaxing with an afternoon beverage. The boundary is fenced and the immediate backyard is fully enclosed for pets and young children
.
The home is located in a long established section of Mount Crosby. It offers amazing mountain views, walking trails, a great variety of birdlife as well as native animals. Buses to a number of western suburbs schools and colleges pass the home and the area's low crime rate is another great aspect of life in Mount Crosby. The Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts as well as western areas including Toowoomba. The Brisbane CBD is approximately 30 minutes away and Ipswich's CBD is even closer. For more information feel free to contact Ian Keenan at any time. To truly appreciate the uniqueness of this property take the opportunity to inspect as soon as possible.
