Last Listing description (August 2019)
It's not every day that your expectations are either met, or exceeded, regardless of the pursuit. Indeed, such occasions are rare, but when they do occur it's a celebration worthy of cork-popping and French fizzy drinks filling fine, tall stemware.
So, chill the bubbly if you're a home buyer in pursuit of the best in The Gap, and toast one of the finest two-storey properties ever to grace the market in 2018 with this forested, private enclave at 27 Tullira Street that will overwhelm your expectations of what a prestige home can be. It's simply something extraordinary, immaculately maintained inside and out, and only on the market for the first time since the owners had it built for their family in 2002.
A gated entrance, secured by a Centsys keypad remote control system, leads you up a 70m driveway to the front of a remote controlled double-car garage that has direct access into the downstairs living quarters. The visual magnificence of this estate will be noted on that drive alone, with the residence residing on 2,271m2 in area, and planted with mature native flora that acts as a buffer from south-facing homes and those nearby, while providing a green, lush outlook from every room. The residence's adventurous aspect sets it high upon a prestige perch that has views south above rooflines, into bushland, and east through a gap the suburb is named for and toward the glittering bright lights at night and the heights of the big city, taking in Brisbane's highest towers from the first and second levels of this lavish layout. And we haven't even touched upon the internal features yet.
Two wooden doors, with keyed-access, open to floors laid with large, textured tiles in grey tones and complementary inlays. A home office and craft room, complete with double sink and timber work bench, lie at the western end of the downstairs. Two south-facing bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, share the living area with a shower, bath and sink combo, and separate toilet, completing the amenities. A generous laundry room has direct access to a large back patio area for air-drying your delicate items when the tumble of a dryer is too much! There is also a large rumpus room on this level, which would be perfect as a second living area or a teenage retreat.
Then, it's time to step up, well and truly, with 15 polished timber stairs taking you to the stunning second level and the luxuries it has to offer. The living area floors and passageways are tiled in warm and inviting terracotta hues. Two bedrooms lie at the western end, including a master bedroom with a Mitsubishi split-system AC unit, ensuite with shower, toilet and sink, and a wonderful walk-in wardrobe that's full of storage space for even the most avid shopper.
An adjacent, large bedroom is completed by double built-in wardrobes, a ceiling fan and, like the master bedroom, has dark, handsome timber-laminate flooring that makes every room it occupies "pop." There's also a bathroom with a toilet, shower and sink off the hallway which leads you east to the main features of a private and airy living room with that tasteful timber-laminate flooring, and on into a kitchen that's kicking with style and grace. A Bosch double-door fridge is joined by AEG appliances including an oven, induction cooktop and dishwasher, while a galley island houses a twin compartment sink with commercial tap ware for washing up, an Insinkerator and a spacious dining area for serving your special dishes. The kitchen cabinetry is deluxe, extensive and finished in a 2-pac cream with silver accents and handles, and is topped off with Caesar stone bench tops. There is an LED lighting strip running beneath the length of the upper cabinets that emits a regal glow across the countertop when turned on.
Off of the kitchen and dining area, which is air-conditioned, is a large, east-facing timber deck with glass fencing that takes in those city views through The Gap, and looks down onto a custom-designed 9m x 4m salt water pool - maintained by a top-brand automatic robot vacuum - that completes a picture of serenity and relaxation.
From its impressive tiered landscaping at the front and rear, to its commanding position, privacy, views, quality features and exceptional build, you too can enjoy living "The Luxe Life" at 27 Tullira Street, plus all of the other sterling suburban assets The Gap enjoys, today.
