Profile
Welcome to 108 Queens Parade, your dual living, elevated brick and timber character home on a private 630m2 block and just a short stroll from the water.
Upstairs, your accommodation consists of three bedrooms, bathroom and a spacious living area with air-conditioning and a generous west facing, covered deck that overlooks the rear garden.
The lower level features a self-contained studio (legal height) with its own kitchen, bathroom and air conditioning.
The home itself is set back from the road and sits high on the block. Your front yard has established trees, and hedging tucked in behind a new timber fence for added privacy.
The raised garden beds have been lovingly planted with hardy natives and succulents so that your weekends aren't taken up with keeping up.
The front entrance is via one flight of freshly painted timber stairs that land to the undercover front deck. This front deck is ideal for a morning stretch in the sun or to get away from it on those hot summer days, as it's perfectly positioned for you to face the cooling bay breezes! From the front deck you are in your own realm with a very pleasant view and green space aplenty.
Stepping into the home from the front you enter the open plan living space. This space incorporates the kitchen and houses a neat breakfast bar that keeps chef in the conversation whilst entertaining. The kitchen also a 4-burner gas cooker, electric oven and a dishwasher sitting on new, easy care flooring.
From this living area the hallway directs you to the three bedrooms and bathroom with the shower over a low-set bathtub. The main bedroom has a generous built-in robe and large windows looking out to the front deck. Bedroom two also looks out to the deck whilst the third room is ideal for kids or use as an office space. Each of the bedrooms has a new ceiling fan.
At the rear of the living space is the expansive, elevated west facing covered deck. The aspect of this house is just brilliant and with decks facing both east & west the home has a terrific, natural breezeway to feed your outdoor spaces and maintain air flow. This expansive rear deck is just amazing in both size and versatility and overlooks the garden with the park reserve beyond. This reserve will never be built out and acts as a green extension to the already private space. With established palms and gardens and an array of local birdlife, you really do have your own oasis.
The grounds are low maintenance with mature plantings and an attractive rear retaining wall.
For the practical buyer, you have a massive 6 metre by 3 metre shed at your disposal. Side access for machinery or toys is a bonus along with plenty of space to add a pool down the track should you desire.
Shifting your focus downstairs, the lower level consists of a double garage with internal access to the rear of the property. Whatever your storage needs, be it one or two cars or "the collectables" that life attracts, you have so many options. The self-contained dual living space features a combined kitchen & living area with a separate bathroom. This kitchen area is raised and has a gas oven & cooktop, air conditioning and a servery/island that connects it to the lounge space.
From the lounge you have direct access to the backyard via a side door. Moving through from the kitchen space, further into the house, you enter the laundry area and bathroom as well as an additional door through to the backyard. There are so many options for downstairs!
The external, undercover ground floor space has a tiled section (large pavers) as well as a newly painted lower terrace area with trellising.
Location wise, you are but 500 metres from the nearest local shops, with multiple schools and transport (bus stop across the street) not to mention the bay foreshore just 700 metres away. Just a 5 minutes' drive away is the popular Sandgate village-township with its eclectic array of boutique shops and cafe/dining options as well as the train station, whilst the vibrant waterfront is just 700 metres away, that's only a few minutes walk!
In summary, this dual occupancy home is on a spacious block with plenty of off-street parking and space for the kids to play. With three beds upstairs and the studio space down, this is such a versatile home.
And with the Brighton market performing so strongly, this property presents great buying on a substantial block.
