Family lifestyle residence with a pool & exquisite edible gardens on Balmoral Hill
A sprawling 602m2 corner parcel perched along prized Balmoral Hill, this property encompasses a gorgeous blend of charm, modern appeal, and superb outdoor entertaining, all over one level. Cosy and cottage-like in its charm, there is nothing quaint about the scale of this residence, which boasts a sprawling 5-bedroom layout framed by a magnesium swimming pool, and a diverse established edible garden - perfectly blending the comforts of cosmopolitan living with the joys and values of nature.For all of its character features, including an inviting gas fireplace and banquet seat dining area, there's also a brilliant blend of modern simplicity. A meticulously-redesigned kitchen features a Smeg gas stove and oven, stone benches with breakfast seating, plus a clever walk-in pantry, whilst a stunning master adds a splash of luxury with air con, an ensuite, and a beautiful flow onto the al fresco.
Beyond the interiors, a little bit of magic awaits at every turn. Large enough to entertain a crowd, there is an expansive covered poolside patio complimented by a brick pizza oven - tried and tested as the perfect vessel for a roast dinner. There's also a chook pen with (optional to stay) feathered residents, a cute cubby house and lush fenced lawn, along with an incredible bounty of fruiting harvest including lychees, nectarines, blueberries, banana, avocado, eggplant, pumpkin, lettuce varieties, citrus trees, and so much more.
For the adventure-enthused or home handyman, there's also a remarkable amount of storage for all the tools of the trade with a triple bay garage, workshop area, and additional two-bay parking pad for trailers, boats, or caravans, plus a water tank to cater to the gardens.
Perfectly paired with a prized, family-friendly address, this residence sits just moments from Balmoral Cineplex and the excitement of Oxford Street, leafy Hawthorne parks, Hawthorne Garage, and a slew of charming boutiques and cafes. Just a few footsteps away from Monocle Coffee, plus popular Bulimba Bowls Club and Balmoral SHS at the end of the street. Offering effortless access to the CBD via ferry or bus transport, it's also within close reach of top-rated schools including St Peter and Paul's Primary, Lourdes Hill, Churchie, and Bulimba State School.
