Last Listing description (September 2020)
This very large, impressive and stately home rises well above the street level to present as a statement of superb family living - and is delightfully complimented by its landscaped and sculptured gardens.
Presenting with 4 huge bedrooms, all of which are situated on the upper level. The Master Suite is a true statement of space and luxury not seen in homes today. This retreat from the daily grind provides a spacious and very private space complimented with a huge ensuite, with double vanities, corner spa bath and double shower. A clever walk-through robe for him with custom made cabinetry and a spacious walk-in robe for her will ensure no objections. The master retreat also enjoys a covered, private balcony with views over the neighbouring area and nearby nature reserves preserve the view for prosperity.
The other 3 bedrooms on this level are set around the circular internal balcony overlooking the foyer. Each bedroom has built-ins and direct access to the family bathroom with a full size bath. At the centre of this level is a delightful lounge area perfect for any number of pursuits with big windows looking onto the garden.
The lower level of the home is generously large and - as was homes of the time - perfectly designed with both indoor and outdoor entertaining in-mind.
Entering the home through the towering portico, you are met with a tiled foyer with chandelier, architectural lit cut-outs and a circular void to the upper level. A formal dining is directly before you, and to the right an office or study. To the left, a huge formal lounge complete with a wood fireplace and surround sound system. This lounge enjoys sliding glass door access to a large covered outdoor entertaining space with great and private views of the pool. Towards the rear of the home there is another generous family room with a casual meals area - this enjoys wooden bay windows and doors with an outlook to the garden.
The centrally positioned chefs kitchen has stone benchtops and breakfast bar, cafe style lighting and first class appliances. A 900 wide Fisher and Paykel pyrolytic oven, gas cooktop and custom rangehood will bring out the masterchef in anyone. A stainless steel double-draw dishwasher and plumbed double fridge space are surrounded by cabinetry.
From the family room, there is sliding glass door access to the covered alfresco space. Here you can entertain family and friends, no matter what the season, whilst overlooking the superb resort inspired pool with waterfall and partial overhead sun protection for the summer swim days. Adjacent to the pool area, there is a second freestanding covered deck. The outdoor entertaining space is huge.
The home has been extensively enhanced with zoned, ducted air conditioning complimented by 3 split systems, Prowler Proof security screens and doors around the entire perimeter, 18 channel CCTV, Back to Base capable alarm system, LED lighting and first class fixtures and fittings throughout the home. Double car automated garaging with direct secure access to the home with additional driveway parking for 2 vehicles. The home is set on 1,002sqm of land, and is framed by lush, landscaped surrounds.
Situated in the heart of Central Bridgeman Downs and surrounded by large, like quality homes, 12 Aquarius Place is just 15 kilometers to the Brisbane CBD and minutes to local retail and dining options. Or you may prefer more variety, with Westfield Chermside just 15 minutes by car.
