5 Perkins Street, Sandgate, QLD, 4017, Australia

If you’ve been searching for that special home that will be there for you through the ebbs and flows of family life, you need to see this one. From the moment you step inside the front door, you get that grounding feeling that this is the perfect place to raise your family and call home for a very long time. And you are only a stone's throw from the Sandgate foreshore!

Start and finish each day in the happiest of ways, soaking up your bayside surroundings and the fabulous breezes! The once quaint workers cottage has been transformed into a truly lovely home offering a tasteful fusion of ‘yesterday meets today”. The generous family-friendly proportions ensure plenty of growing room… wide decks (front and back), four bedrooms plus study, three bathrooms, and off-street parking for five vehicles with three undercover. Two separate living areas offer everyone plenty of room to rest, play or entertain. Did someone say pool party? Entertaining will be a pleasure with the kitchen opening onto the rear patio. The secure and private backyard is a haven of well-established, low-maintenance gardens and features the most inviting resort-style inground pool.

Tastefully updated by the current owners, including fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, new ceiling fans, new double-glazed windows (for improved energy usage and that extra peace and quiet), updated kitchen and master en-suite, this fully air-conditioned home is completely move-in ready. There is the added benefit of a 6kW solar system.
