Russell Island QLD 4184

Entering the house, the soaring ceiling with exposed timber beams grabs your attention, competing with the open view beyond the covered deck. Giant vertical log-posts hold it all together, creating a rustic ambiance with both a wood-fuel stove and space for a gas fireplace, under the massive built-in timber mantelpiece.

Solid timber floors throughout lend a warm touch, while overhead ceiling fans provide a gentle breeze on a balmy day. This open-plan home with loads of natural elements is sure to impress a buyer looking for a project to inject their personality and stylea sun-bleached coastal haven; Hampton's white-washed retreat; or an island hide-away, perhaps?

The L-shaped, blonde timber kitchen hugs the North-West corner and has new Westinghouse appliances (glass-cooktop, oven and separate griller). Black granite benchtops with a splattering of golden starbursts dress the space, while tons of drawers provide storage and practical overhead cupboards add to the size.

This inclusive space leans into the large living area, while also servicing the dedicated dining alcove with its Noel Mathews leadlight of 'koalas in gumtrees', commissioned in 1975. The sliding-doors off the lounge spill onto the timber deck, which takes prime position stretched across the sprawling front lawn, leading down to the water's edge for a morning kayak, or a quick check of the fishing lines.

Both bedrooms are expansive, with the master suite having direct access to the midge-screened zone off the rear deckperfect for evening sundowners or relaxing without pesky insects.

A bathroom with corner spa-bath and separate shower services the two bedrooms and there's a massive timber vanity with double-sinks. The short hallway has a linen cupboard and connects the second bedroom and laundry (access for spa pump) with a separate, adjacent toilet.

You could waste so much time just sitting on your dockfishing, painting, enjoying the evening sunset, or simply watching the kids at play. Relaxation is guaranteed with this property and for boat enthusiasts, you could finally have a place to fulfil that dream and build your own 50-metre catamaran, then launch it 'out the front'.

So much opportunity awaits an energetic family looking for a life of water-sports and outdoor recreation, or equally those wanting to downsize and enjoy the tranquillity of nature while entertaining on the deck after a day on the water.

Much more than a house; this property is an experience only few get to behold in a lifetime.

Imagine the kids crabbing and catching the evening meal, served with a healthy salad from the abundant raised-garden beds which flank two sides of the house. Water tanks are plentiful and a self-watering timer keeps the veggies lush and available all-year, as water is captured from every roof-space for tank storage, good drainage and runoff.
