844 Rode Road, Chermside West, Qld 4032

You'll be pleasantly by many aspects of this sturdy low-set brick abode that offers tremendous value for money for discerning buyers.

With multiple living spaces, a very functional layout, a fabulous outdoor area, a crystal clear swimming pool and still a decent sized grassy yard, this is one of those properties that might really surprise you!

OK…we're not going to hide it – you are on Rode Road so it's certainly not a cul-de-sac but the position might be better than you'd expect…

Situated right on the border of Chermside West, McDowall and Stafford Heights, you simply won't find a handier position on the entire North side of Brisbane.

You'll arrive at Number 844 Rode and quickly surmise how close you are to so much abundant greenery – the Raven Street is virtually right over the road, you're only two doors up from the Grey Gum Park Reserve and you can follow the Downfall Creek walkway through for an ambient morning stroll…who would have thought that this position would provide so many options to enjoy nature?

Quite frankly, there's just so many amenities right at your doorstep, we can barely cover them all.

As far as schools go, you're only just up the road from the McDowall State School (of which you're in the catchment area) and also the Craigslea State High School.

You have a myriad of options for private schools that include Northside Christian College, Padua College, Mount Alvernia, Mt Maria Mitchelton, Prince Of Peace Lutheran College, Queen Of Apostles Primary School…the list goes on and on.

If you like your shopping, you're spoilt for choice with shops at the Rode Road Centre, Stafford City Shopping Centre, Flockton Village, McDowall Shopping Village, Brookside Shopping Centre and of course, Westfield Chermside – these are all within a few minutes' drive.

You have a plethora of restaurants, cafes, pubs, arterial roads (including Brisbane's extensive tunnel system where you can be at the Airport within 15 minutes (even in peak hour traffic) and the Brisbane CBD within 20 minutes (again, that's in peak hour traffic). 

Needless to say, you're right on top of one of Brisbane's most extensive bus networks with quick access anywhere you could want to go…and now that all fares are only 50 cents, how much money will this save you? 

Is there anything else you could possibly want?

Arriving at the home, you'll turn into the wide driveway of Number 844 and you'll immediately recognise that easily enough room to store at least 3 vehicles on the driveway (or to the side)…this is in addition to the remote double lock-up garage with cupboards and a work bench.

You'll open the front door to reveal the formal entry and right from the outset, you'll appreciate the fresh paint, double roller blinds on the windows, security screen doors, hard-wired and compliant smoke alarms and split-system air-conditioning that adorns the home.

One of the first rooms you'll find is the generously sized master bedroom that offers a large walk-in robe and a lovely ensuite complete with a shower, neat vanity, toilet and best of all, a lovely make-up table.

You might have noticed that the living spaces are beautifully tiled and the bedrooms all provide carpet as you head a little further into the residence.

The formal lounge and dining area is probably the standout room of the home…designed with a huge vaulted ceiling, an ornate ceiling fan, a bricked-in bar and a brilliantly designed library/ loft area where you can relax with a good book on a beanbag. 

You'll soon discover the remaining two bedrooms that each offer built-in robes and ceiling fans whilst the main bathroom is right nearby, featuring a separate shower with a new screen, a separate bath, a tidy vanity and a heat lamp.

There's also a separate toilet, a huge separate laundry and a linen and broom cupboard for your convenience.

Head back to the central hub of the home where you'll find the expansive kitchen that features huge solid bench tops, a well-positioned skylight, a built-in pantry, room for a 'pigeon pair' double fridge and freezer, an appliance station, a large array of cupboards (32 in total) and a selection of quality appliances that include a ducted stainless steel range hood, a stainless steel Westinghouse dishwasher, an electric ceramic cook top and an oven – plenty of space to cook for many and everything you need to do so!

This kitchen adjoins the spacious open plan living and meals area…the ideal place to relax with your family whilst you catch up on the days' events.

Open the large glass sliding doors and you'll discover the well-sized pergola area with a servery to the kitchen…an area that provides a lovely place to unwind with a morning coffee or perhaps a good book as the sun shines on a bright Spring day.

It's here that you enjoy a surprisingly peaceful aspect of the surrounding treetops and wide open skies.

This area overlooks the generous grassy yard that's fully fenced for kids and pets to run around and play safely.

But best of all, there's a crystal clear in-ground salt water swimming pool that's surrounded by mature palms at the front of the property…and sitting adjacent to the pool is the fabulous poolside gazebo.

Other notable features of this fabulous property include a kids' cubby house, a clothesline at the rear and a new electric hot water system in the laundry, near new gutters on the zinc-aluminium roof with quality batts to provide a strong level of insulation.

There's a lot to like about this property as well as plenty of potential to add value - Don't delay!
