Positioned within the highly sought-after Oakleigh State School catchment and just a
short walk to the school, this beautifully presented residence delivers an exceptional
family lifestyle in one of Ashgrove's tightly held and convenient pockets. Set on a level
block, the home enjoys a sense of space and ease, with glimpses to the mountains
from the front and city outlooks enjoyed from the upper-level deck.
From the moment of arrival, a welcoming street presence is immediately apparent,
framed by established gardens and a quiet sense of pride. Inside, this replica
Queenslander has been carefully maintained and tastefully updated, where timber
flooring and wainscoting provide warmth and continuity throughout. Considered
updates sit comfortably alongside original charm, creating a home that feels both
established and effortlessly liveable.
Upstairs forms the natural heart of the residence, where everyday living and
entertaining converge. The kitchen anchors the space with an oversized island
breakfast bar, 90cm Smeg oven and cooktop, statement lighting, and generous
storage. A discreet wraparound preparation zone extends from the kitchen, complete
with a Fisher & Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher, secondary sink, and extensive
shelving, supporting daily use while maintaining a refined kitchen setting. Flowing
from the open plan living and dining, the deck captures elevated outlooks while
showcasing seamless indoor–outdoor connection. Supporting this upper level is a
dedicated home office, thoughtfully positioned to provide a quiet and private
workspace, along with a powder room, adding convenience and enhancing everyday
functionality.
The lower level provides a versatile secondary living domain, well-suited to relaxed
family living or entertaining. This space opens to a lower-level patio, creating an
effortless outdoor connection point for the home. A built-in under-stair wine bar adds
an elegant touch, complemented by an adjoining storeroom with clear potential for
conversion into a dedicated wine cellar, further enhancing entertaining appeal.
Accommodation is highly flexible, comprising four bedrooms plus a fully self-contained studio. The studio, complete with private entry, ensuite, and kitchenette,
offers excellent versatility for extended family, guests, or independent living, and may
also present an opportunity for Airbnb-style use. The primary suite provides a private
retreat with a walk-in robe and a well-appointed ensuite featuring dual basins, a double
shower, and contemporary finishes. Three additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and fitted with built-in robes, serviced by a central bathroom.
Comfort is well considered throughout, with excellent natural cross-ventilation
complemented by ceiling fans and split system air conditioning, supported by a 5.5kW
solar system. Completing the home is an oversized double carport with power and
approximately 2.4m clearance, providing excellent height accommodation for larger
4WD vehicles, roof racks, and additional storage requirements.
Positioned in a highly desirable Ashgrove pocket, the home is moments from Ashgrove
Marketplace, Dorrington Park, Banks Street Reserve, and local cafés and amenities.
Approximately 5km from the Brisbane CBD, it offers excellent connectivity via nearby
bus routes and is further enhanced by proximity to leading schools, including Marist
College Ashgrove and Mount St Michael's College, underscoring a strong family appeal.
