175 Lake Manchester Road, Mount Crosby, Qld 4306

The family home needs to be seen to fully appreciate what is on offer here. The original owners leave it in immaculate condition and with nothing to be done, just move in and enjoy. The double level home is positioned to maximise your level of privacy on almost two acres of pristine bushland and has been designed to be a very low maintenance acreage.

2.7 metre ceilings and open plan living make this a very liveable home. The design has placed an emphasis on connecting the indoor spaces with the outdoor. There's a deck at the front, a private balcony from the main bedroom, a large rear entertaining deck upstairs as well as a downstairs rear deck. Both the ceilings and external walls are insulated and the airflow around the home is great. Air conditioners and fans are strategically placed throughout. This four bedroom home comes with a study/office which could be utilised as a fifth bedroom. The home has just been refreshed with new carpets and paintwork.

The internal living areas on the top level open directly to the all weather entertaining deck to make gatherings a pleasure. The deck is large enough to accommodate a barbeque, dining area as well as lounging space overlooking your very private bush backyard. The kitchen features Western Australian Jarrah benchtops and a striking sandstone splashback. There's a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and a very convenient breakfast bar. 

The kitchen is open plan with the lounge/dining creating an enormous living space. The living spaces are further enhanced by the adjoining family room which is central to three bedrooms to create an ideal teenagers retreat. The floorplan provides for great separation and privacy between parents, children and guests. The main bedroom boasts an ensuite with two shower heads and a generous walk-in robe. 

On the lower level is a double enclosed garage with 2.4 metre high, remote opening, roller doors. This level also hosts the spacious family laundry, a tonne of storage and an under croft which could be utilised to establish even more usable space. The deck on this level allows for entertaining next to a children's play area and potentially a swimming pool. There's plenty of parking adjacent to the home and a powered steel framed double carport is ready for the caravan and boat or, alternatively, additional vehicles.

The backyard is fenced to safely contain dogs and small children but also allows the local wildlife to visit. Wallabies and a huge range of birdlife are regular sights. Gutter guard assists in making this home amongst the trees low maintenance and the sandstone retaining walls in the landscaped gardens will definitely impress.

There's a 5.5 Kw solar power system, solar hot water and the 5,000 litre rainwater tank is filtered and plumbed to the kitchen, laundry and garden taps. Please note that the property also has a town water supply. Security screens are throughout and the home is move-in ready. If you enjoy getting out into the great outdoors there's the added bonus of the entry to the "Changing Mountain Bushland Reserve" (more than 60 hectares of parkland) being less than 300 metres away.
