5-7 Balkin Road

Eumundi QLD 4562

This north-facing home and studio, designed and built by Phil Ward (Bachelor of Design, University of South Australia), commands an elevated position on the outskirts of Eumundi with views to Mt Cooroy. The gently sloping, usable 2.54-acre block offers space and privacy and has established biodynamic fruit trees, garden beds and a seasonal creek.

The wide entrance driveway leads to a large shed, accommodating four or more vehicles and workshop space. Attached is the front studio, a separate self-contained one-bedroom open plan unit with a kitchenette and bathroom, suitable for dual living, Airbnb or permanent rental income.

Following the driveway, the feature concrete and timber steps lead up to the entrance of the primary residence. Inside you will find the open-plan living and dining space, a modern functional kitchen with Oak benchtops, a fan-forced oven, an induction hob and a walk-in pantry. Separating the kitchen and the second living area is a wood burner for the cool winter nights, and also incorporate your second oven. Three bi-fold doors link the living spaces to the outdoors, and a wide, covered deck to admire the view and entertain family and friends.

Upstairs there is the master bedroom with ensuite and two walk-in robes, and a further spacious bedroom. Both have their private north-facing balconies to soak in the rural vista.

A wide breezeway separates the primary residence from the rear studio, which features an open-plan living space, a mezzanine floor for the bedroom, a separate toilet with a wash basin and an outdoor shower. This space is perfect for the teenager retreat, to accommodate additional family members and guests, or to utilise for rental income.
