This beautiful weatherboard cottage-style home was built by a craftsman less than 20 years ago, however the features are classic. Sustainability was a high priority with recycled timber used impressively for highlights throughout this character-filled property, situated on over half an acre overlooking some of the prettiest bushland on the edge of the Mount Crosby Village. The Post Office/General Store is a short stroll away, the popular Mount Crosby Bowls Club and parkland are just opposite. The historic Mount Crosby Weir across the Brisbane River, as well as the local Community Kindergarten, is likewise only a few minutes walk away. Whilst the home offers a high degree of privacy and peace, the Mount Crosby Village provides a great community atmosphere.<br/><br/>From the moment you walk in the front door and into the living room, your attention is drawn to the expansive balcony which flows beautifully from the living areas via French Doors. The view amongst the trees is spectacular and the space is useable in all weather. The upstairs floors are hardwood timbers comprising of both Ironbark and Brushbox.<br/><br/>The kitchen is located centrally within a spacious open plan layout of living, lounge/dining and balcony. It's ideal for entertaining as well as everyday living. In the kitchen a combination of stone and timber benches are featured along with a stunning copper splashback, Tasmanian Oak cabinetry and concealed lighting. The cooktop and oven are electric and the kitchen also includes a dishwasher and a handy breakfast bar. Upstairs the main bedroom (with walk in robe) is adjacent to a second bedroom currently used as a home office. The main bathroom, with its colourful natural slate, also claims some unique features in keeping with the theme of the home.<br/><br/>Downstairs has the potential to be used for dual living as the largest of the two bedrooms here has an open ensuite. The covered deck, which is enclosed on three sides, also has cooking facilities so it's the ideal spot for your morning coffee and to take in the gorgeous scenery from a different vantage point. Polished concrete floors are outstanding in the generous downstairs living space which opens via bifold doors to the sandstone paved terrace. As with most of the property, this private vantage point offers spectacular views. <br/><br/>The gardens are delightful. The street level has a very cute paved area which would be ideal for a fire pit and the garden shed is very much in keeping with the style of the home. Sandstone stairs take you to the stone terrace which features a substantial pergola constructed from recycled historic hardwood timbers. It is currently used as a secure cat run but could be an aviary, another covered outdoor space or a plunge pool/spa location to take advantage of the incredible vista offered. From the terrace, steps lead you to the next level which features a very stylish gazebo and you then have the opportunity to explore a beautiful bush gully which is home to wallabies and a variety of native birds. The property actually backs onto publicly owned bushland which is destined to remain in it's natural state.<br/><br/>The double carport is conveniently located a few steps away from the front door and has an adjoining secure room providing ample storage/workshop space. Further storage space is provided adjacent to the lower-level terrace. A 10,000-litre rainwater tank is installed for garden use.<br/><br/>School buses, for a number of high schools/colleges, pass close by the front door and the Mount Crosby State School is only a kilometre away. Nearby parklands and walking trails making it easy to enjoy the benefits of the local countryside. The suburb is approximately 35 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, less than 20 minutes to Kenmore and around 15 minutes to the Ipswich CBD.
