Flee the urban jungle and escape to this Fleetway Street property where breezy decks, lush landscaping and a lagoon-style pool & spa allow you to enjoy holiday living in your everyday home…<br/>….<br/>"It's so rare to see pools like this anymore," enthuses Duke Realty director and selling agent Sam Patterson as he inspects the stunning lagoon-style swimming hole at this fabulous Morningside property. "Not to mention one in such a peaceful and private setting boasting its very own spa - it really just makes you feel like you're on a perfect island vacation."<br/><br/>And, while indeed Patterson is right, it's not simply this home's stunning rock-lined pool and waterfall spa that seemingly transport you to some idyllic, far-flung location. For, here too, the home's combination of wrap-around sundecks, breezy back balconies, restful bedroom spaces and spectacular subtropical landscaping also serve to recall many a favourite resort-style holiday destination.<br/><br/>THE RESIDENCE<br/>For those long-enamoured by retro revivals of sorts, prepare to fall in love with this 1960s-built chamferboard charmer where a number of convenient and modern updates have added both space and amenity, transforming this dual-level residence into a cherished family abode. <br/><br/>Spacious and light-filled, this home is indeed a destination in its own right, making it easy to see why the home's current long-standing owners have never sought to venture far from a home boasting stunning natural surrounds in an ideal lifestyle location. In fact, setting just one foot inside the gate of this property is to feel instantly transported to some tropical destination courtesy of a canopy of lush feature palms and vibrant landscaping. <br/><br/>After passing through wide and welcoming double-entry doors into a free-flowing, open plan living and dining space with rich natural timber floors and reverse cycle airconditioning, encounter a generous family kitchen boasting crisp, white cabinetry, Caesarstone benchtops and a suite of stainless steel appliances including Ilve underbench oven, gas cooktop and Bosch dishwasher. In addition to an integrated breakfast bar, the home's culinary hub remains connected via not just one but two bifold servery windows opening this space to a huge, wrap-around timber sun deck with space retractable awning, offering space for outdoor dining, lounging and entertaining. Here, you'll enjoy breakfast beneath a guard of impressive date and royal palms, entertained by the songs of the birds in your very own aviary. Basking in the glow of an ideal north-eastern orientation which welcomes in light and sun year-round, you'll never tire of this beautiful space set amidst verdant greenery.<br/><br/>Back inside, a well-considered floor plan locates the home's 4 light, bright and airy bedroom spaces privately down the hall alongside a convenient family bathroom with separate powder room. Serviced by a walk-through robe and ensuite with dual vanities, the master bedroom also boasts reverse cycle air conditioning and shares access through sheer curtains and screened glass sliding doors to a huge, breezy rear deck, alongside another rear large and light-filled bedroom - an ideal private space to enjoy a little afternoon rest and relaxation.<br/><br/>Descending the internal stairs delivers one into a wide, tiled mud room with separate, secure access from a paved and gated front drive capable of accommodating 3-4 cars with ease. Offering opportunity as an ideal work-from-home area with separate access, this oversized central room also incorporates a concealed euro-style laundry and second fridge space, while facilitating access to a cavernous internal underhouse storage area.<br/><br/>Down the hall, the home's 3rd bathroom is ideally positioned to service an air-conditioned, MPR/media room that can also be found on this level, while another small rear rumpus or study space with built-in kitchenette also enjoys accessibility and outlook over the lower-level paved patio and into the pool and spa. These lower-level lifestyle offerings establish a secondary entertaining hub for the home, set against a spectacular tropical backdrop of fanning palms and screening bamboo to deliver your own private resort-style retreat.<br/><br/> LOCATION & LIFESTYLE<br/>Occupying a large corner allotment totalling 761m2 across two approved lots, this property is indeed a rare find this close to the city, while its future development upside also offers the promise of additional value beyond even the strong record of capital growth recorded in a suburb where the median house price is well above $1 million.<br/><br/>Indeed, as one of Brisbane's best connected suburbs, Morningside is highly sought after and tightly held thanks to its relative affordability as well as its close proximity to neighbouring inner-eastern hotspots including Hawthorne, Balmoral, Bulimba, Seven Hills and Norman Park.<br/><br/>Located approximately 7km from the Brisbane CBD and close to a range of public transportation options including bus and train lines accessible via Wynnum Road, you'll love living in a quiet, leafy pocket within walking distance of local coffee parlour 'The Blue Poppy', Keralgerie Dog Park and Seven Hills Bushland Reserve and its various walking paths located just at the end of your street. <br/><br/>Close to quality private and public schools and an array of shopping options, this home is an ideal family residence while also offering a unique opportunity for investors looking to secure a highly rentable property in an in-demand suburb.<br/><br/>THE OPPORTUNITY<br/>Boasting 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and multiple living spaces, this fabulous family home promising resort-style living just minutes from the CBD is not expected to last long.
