Yeronga QLD 4104

Appealing and modern, the imposing, master-built McCarthy Homes construction was completed in 2011, incorporating design input from the owners. Dine, entertain and relax with family and guests, inside or out. Most rooms connect seamlessly to the outdoor areas, including three of the upstairs bedrooms. The home cinema has tiered seating and a bar, lounge or games area with an undercover terrace adjacent, perfect for that between-movie break.

The neutral-toned, centrally located kitchen features a Caesarstone island with a waterfall edge, a 900mm Blanco gas top range, a new integrated Miele dishwasher and a plumbed-in Fisher and Paykel combination fridge/freezer. Soft closing drawers and a coffee nook or breakfast station offering hidden storage and device charging features are welcome inclusions.

A built-in guest bedroom is situated on the ground floor, with another four (potentially five) on the upper level. Upstairs are three built-in bedrooms (two with walk-in-robes), a teenager's retreat, study space or optional extra bedroom and the opulently sized master suite. This entire retreat is set at the front of the home, with the children's bedrooms at the rear.

Enter through double glass doors into the adults-only living area, grab some refreshments from the inbuilt kitchenette and head out onto the enormous, tiled balcony with its glass balustrade and unobstructed river views. There is very little passing traffic on this quiet residential street, often only the occasional rowers and cyclists passing by and people out walking their dogs.

Having an outlook to the river and across to the green expanses of the Indooroopilly Golf Club, the master suite is a private sanctuary, granting utter relaxation. A large walk-in-robe and a deluxe ensuite that features a dual shower and an extra-long, twin basin vanity are incorporated into the suite's interiors.

The family bathroom has a deep bath, shower and a separate powder room, perfect for busy mornings. Powder room amenities are also located on the ground floor for convenience. All bathrooms are similarly styled with light, neutral-coloured tiles, square basins and glass-free walk-in showers, whilst a hidden chute sends clothes directly to the laundry for washing. There are fans in all rooms, robes have brand new hanging and shelving inserts installed, with drawers additionally to the master.

You will love the amount of storage located throughout the home, with multiple linen and utility cupboards, large bedroom wardrobes and extensive under-stair storage accessed from within the double garage. A high clearance garage door suits taller vehicles, with a roller door at the rear of the garage allowing walk-through or small machinery access to the landscaped backyard.

The house has a security alarm, LED downlights, a Daikin ducted and zoned air-conditioning system, a large storage hot water system with a solar booster and 20+ rooftop solar panels that are achieving significant energy savings. Provisions for a future pool or spa, if desired, are already in place.

Well placed for city convenience, Yeronga is a desirable riverside locale, with many upmarket residences new and old dotting the suburb. For those that enjoy walking, cycling or just sitting in the Esplanade's parks and watching the waters flow by, this quiet section of the Brisbane River is home to the Heritage Close River Platform and the picturesque Paringa Place Park and Tilly's Beach.

Close to state and private schooling, this property sits within the catchment for Yeronga's primary and secondary schools, with St. Sebastian's Primary a 2-minute drive and the prestigious facilities of St. Laurence's College and Somerville House only 5-6 km away. Tertiary students can cycle a short 4km directly into the University of Queensland's grounds via Brisbane Corso and the Eleanor Schonell Bridge.
