The listing describes the home's design as “remarkable” and “uncommon” that is ideal for the Queensland climate.
Interestingly, the home has a cactus garden in the front to welcome you to the home and a Japanese garden in the back to relax by the pool.
“A standout feature though must be the Japanese garden which has dedicated walkways through, that lead to an inground pool, sizable Hawaiian Tiki cabana and easy to manage fishpond all sitting nicely amongst manicured bonsai plantings and feature grasses,” the listing said.
The home still boasts its original mid-century light from Palm Springs California. The mailbox and house number were also originally sourced from Palm Springs.
The home is 3.5 kilometres from the newly renovated Camp Hill Marketplace with where you can access all your shopping needs.
It’s also a five minute drive from Cannon Hill train station and a five minute drive from Westfield Carindale Shopping Centre.
The asking price for the home is for offers over $1,295,000. By comparison the median price for a three bedroom home in the area is $915,000.
The property will be open for inspection this Saturday, October 1 at 10:00am AEST.
