Grand and gracious Queenslander - sitting proudly on Castle Hill

It's rare to find a big quarter acre block on the Hill, with a lot of level land as well as views and breezes. But it's all here - enter this special secluded world through the wide gate to parking and a huge paved area, perfect for kids' basketball.

The main residence is an authentic Queenslander, complete with stunning timber arches and walls, polished floors and is all on one level. A welcoming front porch with double timber doors opens into the entry foyer. There are four airconditioned bedrooms - the master has a walk-in robe and a spacious timber bathroom, and one of the other bedrooms enjoys an ensuite bathroom. The living/dining room is gracious in the extreme with arch and gas light features, and opens to the big covered verandah. The kitchen is off this area, and has gas cooking and a large walk-in pantry.

Under the home is a self-contained granny flat, with separate access via the side of the home. There's a well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and large room which can be partitioned for bedroom, living and dining. You can rent this out for additional income, or the teen will love the independence of this comfortable air-conditioned apartment. It opens to the garden and double doors open to a barbecue courtyard.

There's also a workshop under the house, and additional storage accessed from the side path.

At the foot of the garden is a huge pool with spa - keep up your fitness by doing laps in here each day! The garden is abundant with citrus - lime, lemon and grapefruit, as well as choko and pawpaw - and there's still room for the kids to romp on the lawn.
