5 Shakespeare Parade

Strathpine QLD 4500

You'll head down Bells Pocket Road and turn directly into Shakespeare Parade, quickly realising that this location is as handy as it is peaceful – you're only a few short minutes to the Strathpine Shopping Centre, Strathpine train station, buses, a myriad of quality schools, plenty of restaurants, cafes, pubs or parks.

One of the first things you'll notice about this area is just how flat the land is…and if you're familiar with the North side of Brisbane, you'll understand just how rare this is!

Arriving at Number 5, you'll realise that the front façade is a little unsuspecting and leaves plenty to the imagination – although the architecture does provide a hint of what you're about to see inside!

The established front gardens and fence were thoughtfully designed to create a completely private and serene outdoor living option.

Ensuring no space was wasted the current owners have created a tranquil Zen Garden with a deck, pathway and ambient lights leading you up to the front door.

From the moment you step foot inside (if you're anything like us), your jaw will hit the floor!

The uber-stylish blend of original exposed brick and glass louvres throughout add depth and variation to the space whilst the massive, vaulted ceiling with a timber inlay creates a sense of expansiveness.

Before you head much further, you won't be able to resist the urge to explore the captivating kitchen - it is clear that no expense has been spared right here…from the timber veneer cabinetry, the 3.6 + 3.8 stone bench tops with waterfall edges and soft close drawers to the wide arrange of appliances that include an integrated dishwasher, bin and dishwashing racks, 'Westinghouse' electric cook top, stainless steel oven and the integrated rangehood. The kitchen has been custom designed around the enormous double door fridge, which the sellers have generously offered to leave behind.

A distinctive and incredibly valuable feature of this truly mesmeric kitchen is the built-in teak dining table… again, prioritizing the usage of space in a trendy and functional way – wow!

The expansive open plan living area is a light-filled and inviting space that's lined with glass louvres that allow the outdoors in and creating a real connection with nature…all of this whilst still maintaining the utmost in privacy.

Effortlessly adjoining this space (and blending two spaces into one), is the stunning indoor-outdoor alfresco surrounded almost entirely by glass windows and louvres, creating a completely integrated living space. Built with organic materials, this covered timber deck provides year-round comfort and the perfect spot to entertain guests while listening to some ambient tunes and enjoying a glass of wine and a charcuterie board.

Meander a little further into this 'Mid-Century Modern' inspired residence and you will come across the gorgeous main bathroom…

Featuring clean lines, warm timber tones and a neutral colour palette… the centrepiece of the bathroom is the semi-open shower with a recessed shelf, a built-in seat and two shower heads including a monsoon rose - providing a luxurious and spa-like experience. The vanity area is sleek and minimalist, with a mirrored cabinet that provides ample storage for toiletries and other bathroom essentials and the stone bench top yet again adds a natural element to the space.

The floor-to-ceiling tiles offer a touch of luxury where the glass louvres and well-placed sky light allow ample natural light to flood the space.

All three bedrooms are located toward the rear of the home with the master retreat representing a cosey yet spacious room that features an ornate ceiling fan, split system air-conditioning, built-in cupboards and a stack of glass louvres that allow the natural light and cool breezes to flow.

Bedroom two provides an ornate ceiling fan, another split system air-conditioning for year-round comfort, a built-in robe and glass louvres whilst bedroom three features an ornate ceiling fan and more glass louvres.

The separate laundry is a beautifully designed space with a gorgeous bench top, a tiled splash back and oodles of cupboard space…and there's also direct access out to an additional pebbled courtyard area with a clothesline.

With a small amount of tweaking, this space could easily be converted into an another fabulous outdoor entertaining or sitting area.

The fully fenced rear grassy yard is huge and offers plenty of room for the kids or furry members of the family to run around and enjoy…and with the property backing directly out onto the 'Rob Akers Reserve' and football fields, you've basically have yourself (or the kids) a never-ending supply of space to play.

Your car accommodation needs are covered, with the double carport at the front of the house that's in addition to the double gate side access that leads you straight through to the huge rear shed and garden shed for all your storage needs.

There is also a 6KW solar system and the roof has recently been repointed.
