Summary: Give In to this Given!
Description: Stop whining about not having enough 'large' sized block options available now that you have seen this CBD fringe dweller upon 1054m2 that no doubt would have 3 homes upon it if it was located within some of the new development estates! This flood free gem gives you plenty of space, is tucked away at the end of a sleepy cul de sac street and has had more updates than my new iPhone 17 (Now that's a lot of updates!) This solid double brick Approx 1986 built beauty has a superwide concrete driveway that leads into the double remote controlled door carport that also has some workshop/storage space at the front of it. This car accommodation could also potentially easily convert to a home office/business from home if so desired or required and would leave you with plenty of concreted area in front of it to add a carport for the daily drivers. A new Approx 6.1kw solar power system sits up top of the Approx 2008 updated iron roof with insulation tucked in under it for your comfort pleasure. Speaking of comfort this 5 bedroom and 2.5 bathroom home also has zoned ducted aircon pumping thru it and a split system aircon within the master suite so you don't need the ducted system on at night if you don't particularly like your kids. The large air conditioned Master Suite has a ceiling fan, tv connection point, hugeeee walk in robe that looks as if it is directly out of a home in the Hollywood Hills and an adjoining super tidy ensuite bathroom. Timber look hybrid flooring runs throughout most of the home with plush carpet found within the 5 bedrooms and the posh sunken formal lounge that is complete with a brick built open fireplace. 3 of the 4 good sized remaining bedrooms have ceiling fans and double door built in robes with 2 of them also gifting y'all tv connection points. The tidy updated main bathroom definitely does the job whilst the separate laundry with its own unique rustic timber bench top, I swear seems larger than some public laundromats! The spacious kitchen has new benchtops, sink, tapware and is also equipped with a top/bottom double door pantry, gas bottle fueled kitchen cooktop, dishwasher and a large fridge space. This space looks out over the home's entry area, family room and out to the behemoth of a dining area. A handy powder room/3rd toilet is also located toward this end of the home so visitors need not wander into the bedroom wing of the home to use the loo. A skylight shines natural light into the kitchen and family room with some natural air flow supplied from 4 sliding glass doors at this bustling end of the home that open up to the great outdoors. Speaking of great outdoors, an obscene amount of money was just spent to refurbish this inground saltwater concrete pool that also included a new pool robot cleaner with associated pool pumps and equipment also upgraded within the last 3.5 years. The mostly fenced rear yard has plenty of room for the 2 and 4 legged kids and thankfully this large block can accommodate such a large ranch style home, pool, garage and still leave space to spare! Plenty of fresh paint has also been brushed around as well as the addition of modern 4 square inlay internal doors and plenty of tidy finishes that this much loved sprawling family sized home deserves. Gas hot water pumps thru the home and this handy to plenty location means that you are close to a local High School, have a front row seat to the Ipswich Show Fireworks display, can walk to the Uni and save on campus parking drama's, wander to the Ipswich Medical Precinct and be close to the pumping hear of the Ippy CBD. Block size: 1054m2 Bedrooms: 5 Bathrooms: 2 + powder room 3rd loo and vanity (Yeehah!)
