5 Watergum Street

At first glance, you would swear this home had stood here for generations. With its wide verandahs, decorative fretwork, French doors, polished timber floors and warm traditional detailing, this home captures the charm and presence of a classic Queenslander-style residence. But unlike many character homes, this former Garth Chapman display home was built in 2004, offering the beauty of timeless design with the comfort and practicality expected by today's family. Set in a dead-end street and backing onto a leafy nature reserve, this is a home that feels instantly calm. From the front verandah to the rear deck, from the fireplace to the open-plan living, every part of the home has been designed to feel warm, welcoming and connected to its surrounds. The upper level is the heart of the home, featuring high ceilings, polished timber floors and generous open-plan living. The kitchen is large, practical and beautifully connected to the dining, living and rear deck, making everyday family life and entertaining feel effortless. A second formal lounge with a gas fireplace adds another layer of warmth and character, creating the perfect space to unwind. Accommodation is spread across two levels, giving the home genuine flexibility for families at different stages of life. Upstairs includes three bedrooms, including the main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, while downstairs offers a fourth bedroom, separate office, bathroom and a large recreation room with its own external access. This lower level is ideal for teenagers, guests, extended family, working from home or anyone needing separation without feeling disconnected from the rest of the home. Outside, the lifestyle continues. The rear deck overlooks the green space behind, giving the home a rare sense of privacy and openness, while the front verandah provides the perfect spot to enjoy the morning light. With the nature reserve at the back, mature trees around you and a quiet street position, it is easy to forget how convenient the location really is. Bracken Ridge shops, Carseldine shops, public transport, parks, dog park, St Paul's School, Bracken Ridge and Aspley schooling options, Westfield Chermside, major arterial roads and the Sandgate foreshore are all within easy reach. This is not just a large family home. It is a home with feeling, history, scale and character , one of a kind for the area.
