The home faces exactly the right direction to capture the glory of the sunrise each morning and yet deliver shade from the western hill on summer afternoons. Open a door and breezes flow through the home. Step outside from inside at every turn. The fluid design works the way a family works.
Separation of living is achieved by the clever use of two pavilions connected by the foyer. All bedrooms are generous in size, have built-in-robes and views to the horizon. The master suite includes a walk-in-robe and ensuite. The central living space is one fluid area for the kitchen, dining and lounge.
Building materials create low-maintenance, energy-efficient living and are well suited to a family living in rural surrounds. The zincalume coated corrugated steel roofing and cladding does not require painting. It also reflects light reducing the heat absorbed during summer, contributing to the home s energy efficiency. 22 solar panels on the roof create ample energy for the solar hot water system.
Inside the home, zincalume creates a lovely quality of reflected light. The hardwood timber decks and the Ecoply interior cladding are durable and low-maintenance.
Step out onto the level lawn and walk down the deconstructed granite steps to the saltwater swimming pool. The pool s design includes a generous bench seat for little children to play. The large, east facing pool area has a lawn and plenty of room for games such as table tennis.
The 2.5 acre property is graced with beautiful, established gardens and level lawns featuring jacarandas, silky oaks, poincianas, grevilleas and banksias. An orchard is filled with fruit trees that bear lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins, mangoes and bananas. Throughout the easy care established gardens, lawns and orchard is an extensive irrigation system connected to 55,000 litres of tank water.
Birdsong fills the air as the native trees attract kookaburras, cockatoos, red-breasted finches and willie wagtails.
The favourite level lawn is in front of the home next to the paddock. The lawn is big enough for a game of cricket. The beautiful poinciana tree is laced with lights to illuminate the setting for celebrations. The property s paddock has been home to two cows and could equally be home to horses.
The property is ideally located on the same road as the Moggill Pony Club, a thriving family club. It is also in the catchment area for Pullenvale State School (a three minute drive away) and Kenmore State High School.
There is a strong community around the Pullenvale State School and Pullenvale Hall. The local action group organises family movie nights, dances, yoga classes, market days and other community events with the hall being the centre of activity.
The bus stop for private school buses to St Aidan s, St Peters, Stuartholme, Brigidine, Ambrose Treacy, West Moreton and both Ipswich Girls and Boys Grammar Schools is also nearby. The 444 council bus leaves for the city every 10 minutes for those who go to school or work in the city. The airport is now only approximately 25 minutes away via Legacy Way.
Pullenvale continues to be renowned for its friendly country atmosphere originating from its farming past. To live on a beautiful east facing property on O Brien Road, one of Pullenvale s oldest tree-lined country roads, is to become part of a friendly, family-oriented community. Don t delay your inspection. Properties in this prime location, with this ideal aspect, do not become available often.
