Inspections over the Christmas period are available by appointment only. Please enquire below for more information.Is property hunting only bringing up the same old, same old? Well take a deep breath and let the light shine in on this gloriously renovated 1954 Baptist church where the owner has kept most of the original features throughout while he turned this wonderful piece of real estate into a heavenly home.As you step into the entrance you can see where the Minister would have greeted his congregation, which then leads down an oversized hallway with a separate linen area and study, then the first of the 3 bedrooms. All of which have remote ceiling fans, 2 have built in wardrobes and the other one has its very own WIR. Also, down this hallway you will find a large wet room with shower and bath, then a powder room and separate toilet.However, when you first come through the entrance and turn the corner you will be initially drawn to the most divine renovation that I have seen for a long time. Stepping into the living area you are struct by rapturous 5.7m high cathedral ceilings with the original beams still in place. There are also 2 air conditioning units, a 2.4m ceiling fan and insulation in the walls and ceilings that all work towards keeping cool in the warmer months and the wood fire to help warm up in the cooler ones.The dining area is surrounded by sublime wood paneling with picture rails and 12mm thick glass that allow you to see and converse with your guests below. The kitchen has high gloss cupboards, dishwasher, breakfast bar and concrete tiled bench tops. Behind the kitchen is the original Baptist bath (or font) which the current owners use as a sneaky wine cellar. Off the kitchen is an over sized pantry, laundry and/or butler's kitchen.Down here as well there is a 5th bedroom or media room, with its own toilet and basin. Perfect to be used by the growing teenager, or maybe the young kiddies playroom.Let's go upstairs where there is a blessed parent's retreat that overlooks the entire living space downstairs. Just picture a book, a glass of wine or being able just to hang out and watch your own TV programmes.The sacred master bedroom has its own a/c, ceiling fan, WIR as well as a walk thru robe and an angelic ensuite, built into the original steeple. In here the owners have installed a rain shower, double sinks, a little nook that could fit your own fridge or coffee machine and there is even attic space above here with a loft ladder that in the ceiling.When you come outside you will find that there is rear access to get to the large 12m x 6m shed big enough for the toys and a couple of cars.There is a patio that makes for a great entertainment area or you could go out the back to the hugetree that you could picnic around in the summer months.Further Features include:Stained glass windowsOriginal blinds5.7m cathedral ceilingsOriginal beams throughoutOriginal wood paneling and picture railsOriginal baptism bath or fontMezzanine level overlooking the living and dining12mm safety glassHall way feature lightingInsulation in ceiling and wallsEnsuite in steeple with inbuilt stairs in ceiling to attic12m x 6m shedOuthouse toilet suite that could be made into another shedTo inspect this beauty call either Megan Acutt on 0488 773 001 or Leanne Arifovic on 0412 567 802 from LJ Hooker Ipswich/Fernvale and we try to get you through as soon as possible as we both believe that this property will not last long on the market.
