20 Cowrie Parade, Albany Creek, Qld 4035

Occupying a huge 903m2 allotment that's wonderfully usable yet gently elevated, this stunning low-set rendered brick abode exemplifies space, serenity and an ultra-functional design. 

Featuring 4 bedrooms plus a separate office, multiple living and dining spaces and a truly sensational aspect that you'll adore every single day, this is a home that you could move in and relax or renovate to your own tastes and add significant value over the coming years.

One of the best aspects of this property is the location – right from the outset, you'll appreciate the handiness to so many amenities where you're a short walk to the Albany Creek State High School, the Albany Creek Central Shopping Centre (Woolworths), gymnasiums, cafes, buses…you name it!

You'll turn off Old Northern Road and into Albany Forest Drive….then take a turn into Jagora Drive, follow it through until you reach Thiess Drive and then turn into Cowrie Parade – it's as simple as that!

Arriving at Number 20, you'll realise that you have parkland to the side as well as the rear so only really one neighbour – a fantastic feature that is all-too-rare in this area.

You're also quite close to the Bunyaville State Forest where you can take your dog for an early morning walk whilst you take in the fresh Spring air…but if walking isn't your 'thing', you can simply absorb the picture-perfect vista of the adjoining Cowrie Parade Park at the rear whilst you enjoy a morning coffee.

The front façade of the residence is quite eye-catching and you'll certainly look forward to discovering what's inside as you pass the immaculate gardens and approach the new timber and glass front door.

From the moment you step inside, you'll honestly be blown away as you'll look straight ahead into the formal lounge and dining area where the 10-foot ceilings accentuate the parkland view with glass panels that are almost floor-to-ceiling and offer you direct access outside – you'll silently compliment the architect on this truly mesmeric design feature.

Perhaps take the parents' wing first where you'll find the truly opulent master suite that provides a sizable walk-in robe and a gorgeous ensuite that features a shower with a new recess, a neat vanity, a new toilet and a heat lamp.

But here's the best aspect of this heavenly parents' haven…you have direct access to the rear or you can enter your very own private pergola area at the front that could be used as a private retreat or perhaps a storage area if this is your preference – either way, this is a very unique addition that you won't find anywhere else and best of all, it's all Council approved.

Right next to the master bedroom is the separate office (or study) with hybrid flooring that offers you the ideal place to work from home with a lovely serene aspect of the front yard – if you're going to work from home and spend plenty of time in front of the computer, it stands to reason that you'd want a nice leafy view and you won't be disappointed here!

Next to the this 'secret' front pergola, you'll discover the remote double lock-up garage (and there's plenty of extra space on the driveway to park more vehicles if this is your requirement).

If you're observant, you will have noticed the ducted air-conditioning, ornate ceiling fans, Crimsafe-style security screen doors and Crimsafe-style security screens on the windows…and these are just some of the features that might seem small but make a huge difference. 

You'll wander over to the other wing of the abode where you'll enter the spacious open plan living and meals area – the perfect place for your family to come together at the end of the day and catch up on the days' events.

This area blends seamlessly into the functional kitchen that offers plenty of bench and cupboard space, room for a double door fridge, a lovely tiled splash back and a selection of new Miele appliances that include stainless steel ovens, an electric ceramic cook top, a stainless steel dishwasher and a stainless steel range hood…cooking here will be a real breeze as you create your family's meals whilst you take in the serenity of the park.

Tucked just around the corner, you'll find the generous separate laundry and huge linen cupboard…and next along the hallway, you'll arrive at the main bathroom that features a new shower, a separate bath, a heat lamp and a separate toilet with an external vanity.

Completing the interior, you'll then arrive at the remaining three bedrooms that all provide well-sized built-in robes and ceiling fans.

Head out the main living area to the rear and you'll enter the huge pergola area with a massive pavilion-style roofline…the perfect place to entertain many over a sizzling Summer BBQ whilst you feel the cool breezes meander on through with ease.

There are some beautiful trees in this backyard with a gated access to the park as well as a kids' cubby house and fabulous grassy area at the side.

Other notable features of this gorgeous property include a near-new electric hot water system, new compliant smoke alarms and a fully tiled roof.

With a position that's undeniably outstanding, a layout that's as functional as it is spectacular, and many subtle points of difference that you won't find in 99% of the homes in this suburb, you'd be well-advised to inspect this one quickly before an astute purchaser snaps it up before you do!
