9 Kurrajong Road, Russell Island, QLD, 4184, Australia

Just purchased by an investor, situated just off Centre Road toward the South of the island, you’ll find this perfect, spacious, modern, 1-bedroom house with abundant living space and the most amazing tropical gardens.

You can relax with pets and children around, knowing the yard is fully-fenced and secure. The established mulched gardens and pebbled pathways offer low-maintenance living, so you can spend more time enjoying this neat and tidy home and the privacy offered by the enclosed decks, front and back, trapping all-day sunshine.

A gravel driveway leads to a carport with gated pedestrian access to the backyard, or take the pathway to the cheerful front veranda with creative screening and matching awning. Up a few steps and through a security screen-door, you’re welcomed by a full-length timber deck with endless space for alfresco living and insect-screens for summer nights.

Already looking like a lounge-room and you’re not ‘indoors’ yet!

Sliding-doors open to the main house and when you enter you’ll be surprised by the large open-plan living and generous kitchen with a huge island-bench doubling as a breakfast bar. A separate dining area adjoins and there’s room for a 6-seater table and sideboard for long family dinners.

The white kitchen overlooks the front-yard and offers a Blanco freestanding electric oven with 5-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher, double-sink, laminate benchtops and plenty of storage. Laminated timber floors throughout, ceiling fans, loads of windows and white walls, create a sense of calmness.

A large bedroom with two windows and triple-door built-in robe oozes serenity and promises rest at the end of the day. Although there is only one bedroom, there are many options for accommodating extra guests with sofa-beds and tons of floor-space.

Fresh air and sunlight dance the tango, sprinkling joy and happiness in this wonderful family-sized home. And, the spacious lounge has sliding-doors flowing to an enclosed North-facing timber deck, with clears for wet weather. A secure gate prevents wondering pets and little ones from taking the stairs to the yard and offers peace of mind, if living alone.

The sunny bathroom has a wide vanity, loo and shower. A door to the right of the vanity, hides the laundry and utility room, which traces a long strip of tiles to the front deck via a security entrance door. There’s room for a chest-freezer (handy for island-living), washing machine and a soaking tub is a bonus. Plus, there’s ample storage for all your linen and cleaning gear.

Outside, the tropical zen garden with stepping-stones all around provides a tranquil oasis to contemplate life as you circle the lush foliage of swaying palms and low-lying succulents. There’s also practical spaces to utilise outdoors, such as:

• Paved entertaining area with space for table and chairs
• Garden shed
• Lawn area for the pets
• Landscaped garden-beds behind retaining walls
• Clothes drying zone facing NE
• Gates to front-yard from both sides of house
• Under-house storage (good for outdoor pet-beds)
• Convenient bin area on slab near front gate
• Water tank (plumbed to toilet and laundry) to minimise water usage
• Solar panels to reduce power bills
• NBN Available

The carport also doubles as another entertaining space with fragrant garden-beds and a courtyard setting, making it feel more than a parking area. Surrounded by gums and natural habitat, there’s vacant blocks on either side (for now), in an area that’s being discovered by those seeking a quieter life.

This lush and inviting setting with its white and charcoal façade, is mirrored harmoniously in the gardens with magical pathways, feature areas with white pebbles and charcoal stepping stones. Totally private and yet close to the main road into town, you’re never far from anything.
