12 JILLIAN STREET

If you were to choose a phrase to describe this home and property, it would be 'at peace'. This is the sort of property that rarely comes to market. It has also been extensively renovated, meaning there is nothing left to do to this home except move in. Design & Living: You enter the home to high ceilings, an abundance of natural light and breezes, and an open plan living, dining and kitchen that flows seamlessly to the outdoor entertainment. In fact, the owners can't remember a time that a guest didn't walk in the door and not say 'wow'. It's got beautiful high raked ceilings and views across the valley, and the sunsets from the kitchen, living and outdoor areas are something to write home about. Every window you look out of in this home you see green. In the golden hours in the afternoon, you can watch the sunlight dance along the floor and dapple across the kitchen-it's all a bit magic. The kitchen and laundry are all integrated so you don't see any appliances. If you aren't one who loves time in the kitchen, this house will change that for you. Pad into the kitchen in the morning and sit at the island bench with your coffee, watching the trees on the horizon move with the breeze and the birds fly across the valley - the light filtering through the trees so that each day the view is a little different. Bedrooms & Bathrooms: Each of the three rooms each have fans, built-in wardrobes, large windows and such green outlooks that you don't need blinds or curtains for privacy. The main bathroom features a walk-in shower, high-end fittings and fixtures, and was designed so that if you're standing in the shower or brushing your teeth at the basin, you get a private view to the tree tops. You also have a second toilet and powder room. The front room is perfect for a home office with views to the front of the property to see any comings and goings, featuring large windows for heaps of natural light. Should you wish to expand and add an additional room down the track, that is easy to do too. Ease of Life & Tech: This home was designed and renovated with ease of life front and centre. The fingerprint pad at the front door means you never have to worry about finding your house keys again. The yard has been designed (and comes with) an automated robot mower, so you don't have to mow again. The yard is fully fenced, the home set up to charge electric cars, and boasts its own turning circle. The Outdoors: Did we mention it is at the end of a cul-de-sac? In a rare position where the only car sound you'll hear is your own, and with the birdsong around you'd be likely mistaken thinking you've woken up in the middle of a forest. The outdoors are designed for low-maintenance; the landscaping has been done with a mix of natives and hardy plants, set up with automatic solar lighting, and the grassed areas designed for the robot mower to take care of everything for you. There is a perfect space for the veggie patch so you have fresh lettuce, beans and herbs meters from the kitchen, or you can pick the tomatoes off the plant still warm from the sun. Naturally shaded for most of the day, the back patio lends itself to quiet time reading a good book or entertaining and family meals during the light hours. The dinners outside however are pretty special. A light breeze comes up the valley, you can see the stars above, and the warm garden lighting illuminates the landscaping and trees around you. The Location: The home is located in what is often described as the 'prime' position of Chapel Hill. You get all the benefits of Chapel Hill's quietness, greenery, privacy and bird sounds, but you are at the front of the suburb where you pop out to the highway and Moggill Road in under 3 minutes. There is a bus stop around the corner which does an express service into the city and one of the most direct car commutes into the city, with the highway a 3-minute drive away and access straight into the tunnels for the CBD or airport if you wish. The home also boasts some of the very best school catchments in the city for both primary and high school. You really don't have to go far for anything here. It's a 10-minute walk to Peach and Billy cafe-a charming and much-loved community cafe-and the widely known restaurant and bar across the city, Suburban Social. You are also a 2.5-minute Saturday morning drive to arguably the best bakery in Brisbane-Gathered-where the croissants are flown in from France. A 3-minute drive is the MetroWest shops, where you have a mix of organic groceries, restaurants, bottle shop, doctors and takeaway stores. You are also a 2.5 minute drive to the extensive bush walking tracks of Mount Cootha. These homes are usually very tightly held once renovated, but as the owners are moving on it must be sold.
