285 Lillian Avenue, Salisbury, QLD, 4107, Australia

285 Lillian Avenue in Salisbury is the epitome of the great Australian dream, consisting of the beautiful characteristics we come to expect from a carefully renovated Queenslander where all of our favourite features have been meticulously retained; a single gable framing a large bay window with spectacular leadlight detailing, soaring ceilings, VJ walls, fretwork and casement windows with the added charm of a lattice bat-wing door to greet you at the entry before a stained-glass front door.

A sliding electric front gate, crisp white lines and the tall, proud stance of the home are what meets the eye upon arrival, but what is beyond the fence is calming, private and enchanting; the grounds and gardens of this home are very special, well thought-out and offer lush surrounds from every window; a setting that will be a pleasure to unwind in at the end of each day, and one where your guests may not wish to leave.

Like all Queenslander Cottages, this home is quaint, comfortable and a lovely environment to reside; polished pine flooring give a sense of warmth, with a large air-conditioning unit, a crisp white colour pallet, modern plantation shutters throughout, with downlights and specifically chosen pendant lighting to pay homage to the homes heritage.

It is often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and this property makes no exceptions; an expansive stone slab in crisp white sets the scene, with breakfast bar, undermount stainless sink, space for a large fridge with plenty of storage, Bosch stainless dishwasher and a freestanding Smeg oven and gas cooktop. Bi-fold doors and a magnificent foliage backdrop draw the outdoors in and give access to a huge covered entertaining deck, big enough to house lounge and dining spaces, with retractable shade awnings on each side, and mature landscaped gardens at every corner; a feast for the eyes!

There is access front to back on each side of the home, where utility spaces are as neat as a pin; raised garden beds, a clothes-line and garden shed on one side, with the added bonus of masses of under-house storage, a carport and an additional lock up space under-house suited to a small car or trailer.

The main bedroom is a great size and has the most beautiful stained glass bay window with aspect across the treetops to the North to Toohey Forest. The third bedroom is well suited for a children’s room, currently utilised as a home office and in the past as a dining room with single pane French doors allowing natural sunlight throughout the living spaces from the Northern end of the home.

The main bathroom and laundry is very modern, finished in cool neutral tones with frameless glass shower, large luxurious bath tub, stone benchtops and plantation shutters.

Sweet dreams are made of these:
- Large covered entertaining deck
- Spectacular landscaped gardens
- Well located on the top of the hill to catch prevailing breezes
- Immense privacy from inside and outside the home with high fencing
- Stone benchtops throughout kitchen and bathroom
- Beautiful Queenslander character
