ELEGANT WHITE QLD'ER IN BLUE CHIP CLAYFIELD

From the moment you arrive at this elegant white Queenslander swathed in lush greenery and bathed in the soft sounds of trickling water, you feel at peace.

Elevated on a tranquil street in blue chip Clayfield with city views from the front deck, this four bedroom plus study home provides a sanctuary for families of all ages and make ups.

Inside are two levels of functional living featuring the best of the old and the new, including a pristine interior in subtle shades of off white, polished wide pine floorboards, plaster ceilings, ducted air conditioning, contemporary kitchen, in-ground pool, and a multitude of formal and informal living areas.

Entry to the home is via a classic entry portico and outdoor dining area, surveying the stunning city views and overlooking the graceful terraced lawn, which is shaded by a pretty Jacaranda tree and soothed by the sound of water bubbling from the water feature.

The entry leads into a lovely open plan formal dining and lounge area with an ornate plaster ceiling, original archway with leadlight cupboard doors and glossy honey-coloured timber floor.

Also on this level are the kitchen and adjoining family/meals room, master bedroom with ensuite, as well as two more bedrooms and a bathroom featuring both a shower and bath tub.

The bedrooms and bathroom are configured for privacy, with the master bedroom at the front of the house and the second and third bedrooms and bathroom opening into a central hallway, secreted from the family areas by a door. All the bedrooms feature built-in cupboards, and a linen press is conveniently located in the central hallway outside the bedrooms.

At the rear of the upper level, the family room opens out through French doors to an expansive timber deck and barbecue area, leading to a sparkling blue pool edged with beautiful sandstone pavers and fringed by tiered, manicured gardens.

With so many options for entertaining from the formal dining room and front verandah to the meals room and rear patio, this home makes it a pure pleasure to entertain guests casually or formally, as well as to serve relaxed family meals by the pool or indoors.

And with a modern kitchen - so handy to all indoor and outdoor dining areas, and well appointed with stainless steel oven, gas cook top and range hood, glossy white cabinetry and black granite bench tops - it won't ever be a bother no matter the weather or time of year.

The lower level is a truly practical space - ideal for teenagers or guests. It features a fourth bedroom, study, large rumpus room with additional built-in storage area and a third bathroom servicing it, as well as a laundry.

Complete with a two-car lock up garage plus room to park another car and trailer to the side of the home.

This Queenslander really is the epitome of elegance and a true family home rolled into one. Add to that the blue chip position close to excellent schools, superb shopping and dining precincts including Racecourse Road and only 5km to the Brisbane CBD, and it's hard to go past.
