Mount Crosby QLD 4306

One of Mount Crosby's largest homes is now being offered for sale for the first time. This double level, brick home is ideal for large or extended families with multiple living areas and up to seven bedrooms. There is an amazing level of flexibility offered with living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms spread over both levels. The whole home has been freshly renovated and is move-in ready.

From the moment you drive into this quiet cul de sac and onto the home's circular driveway, you'll be impressed. The home takes great advantage of the spectacular location overlooking the stunning D'Aguilar Range. It also provides a high level of privacy with the view from the street not even hinting at the resort style living that is to come. All rooms are of a generous size and the home is a unique design.

The front door opens to a spacious formal dining space adjoining an imposing formal lounge, both with matching chandeliers. The formal lounge features a double height cathedral ceiling and an imposing open fireplace. Like most of the rooms on the lower level this room also opens directly to the rear of the property. At one end of this level is a large kitchen which is open plan with the air-conditioned living room. There is internal access to the two car garage, expansive renovated laundry/mud room and a handy bathroom which in particular will cater to those arriving home after a hard day at work.

The kitchen has recently been fully updated with hardwood teak benches and soft closing drawers. There's a brand new stove with 800cm gas oven below a gas cooktop. The Butler's pantry includes a space for a dishwasher. There's also a breakfast bar as well as an adjacent casual meals setting.

The other end of the lower level has three over-sized bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom and can claim to be the home's second main bedroom due to it's formidable proportions. This ensuite bathroom also has direct access to the backyard so bathers to shower before entering the home.

The ironbark timber stairs lead to potentially another four bedrooms on the upper level and another huge living area. The stairs finish in an awesome family room with exposed beams and a built-in wet bar. The family room could easily host a full size billiards table and spills onto a tiled balcony which provides more stunning views of the nearby mountains and farmland.

The air-conditioned main bedroom on the top level is no ordinary bedroom suite. It is self contained with a parents retreat that boasts a fireplace, kitchen facilities. The main bedroom also opens a private balcony, an ensuite with spa bath as well as a second room which could be utilised as either a nursery, a study or a cavernous walk-in robe. All bedrooms have built ins and new carpeting.

Throughout the home the lighting has been modernised to LED's with dual switches which are conveniently centralised in a single control panel. All shower fittings have been updated and the home has been freshly painted inside and out. Light floods into the home and a high degree of insulation, as well as great cross-ventilation, ensures it remains cool throughout Summer. The storage available throughout the home is at a level rarely seen.

The landscaped backyard is fenced to contain children and pets, however the fencing does not extend to the boundary. This allows for regular visits from the local wallabies. An elevated outdoor spa is the starting point for a waterslide which follows a gentle slope into one of the largest resort-style swimming pools that you will ever see in a private setting. The pool and its surrounds utilises natural rocks and a pebbled finish in order to feel more like a natural rock pool than a man-made oasis. Easy access to the rear of the property will permit further development which could certainly include a large shed. This home was built to last, with 45 tonnes of hardwood used in the construction. Building and Pest Reports are available upon request.

Mount Crosby is known for its acreage homes, beautiful bush views and nearby walking trails.

Buses to a number of school stop just metres from the home and a low crime rate assists in making the area a great place to raise a family. The Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold Coast and western areas such as Toowoomba. The Brisbane CBD is approximately 30 minutes away and Ipswich's CBD is even closer.
