Also, just want to reach out to Lisa, in Tassie,
her gorgeous hubby just passed, and it's been a terrible time
for this courageous lady who blogged about her recent losses,
including her beautiful son passing some months ago too,
if you wanna say hi, go here,
if you wanna donate to help her
and her kids get thru a bit easier, go here.

***********
And here it is, beautiful verandahs like this,
can't be half bad!




Spectacular hallway, no? :)














What a great yard for parties with the kids,
just gorgeous.






AND here's the Master Plan!
AND here's what the Agent said about it!

Laurel Avenue ... A Family Paradise ... 2,469m2 Grounds

"Onkaparinga" ... Picture perfect, this beautiful circa 1910 Queenslander will provoke an emotional response upon first sight.
Situated on one of Brisbane's most tightly-held avenues, 43 Laurel Avenue is a testament to classic design with its river precinct, heritage styling and sprawling 2,469m2 grounds.

With just under 500m2 of internal floor space, the formal and casual living areas are of grand proportions - a remarkable fusion, blending one era to another with seamless simplicity.
Rich in character, subtle tones, open fireplace, pressed metal ceilings, stunning lead-light and French doors accentuate classic features, lending a warm and homey atmosphere without compromising the flawless integration of modern comforts.
There is also oodles of storage and abundant car accommodation.

There are five plus bedrooms and four bathrooms, all of which offer privacy and space.
A decadent master suite completed by a well-appointed walk-in robe, stylish ensuite and a light-filled office that enjoys views of the lush private surrounds.

Wide covered verandas and patios merge the indoors outward, providing additional space for serene outdoor living and entertaining while overlooking the established lush grounds. This massive blue chip allotment, with room for a tennis court, will be a thrill for children and pets, providing ample opportunity for outdoor adventures.

The large in-ground pool will be a welcome escape from the coming summer weather while direct river access via an easement is an opportunity to enjoy that exclusive river lifestyle.

This classic Queenslander will endure the passing of time, providing the ideal environment for the family to grow and mature.
It is situated just seven kilometres from the CBD and within walking distance to the rail.
Private colleges and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre are also close at hand.
When position is paramount, and character is a prerequisite, this property constitutes essential viewing.
