18 Islington Street, Runcorn, Qld 4113

Idyllically positioned with a leafy park over its back fence, and less than a 5-minute walk to Runcorn's own vibrant shopping precinct, the local primary school and bus stops, this double-storey delight has an incredibly generous offering of light-filled living spaces and spacious bedrooms under a roof topped with bill-busting solar panels. Set back behind lush lawn and established garden beds, with a driveway gently rising to a remote access secure double garage with valuable built-in storage, the home exudes street appeal and boasts an equally stylish interior.

Stepping through decoratively panelled double timber doors into the grand entry foyer, the feature light cascading from the soaring void above may catch your attention first, if not the patterned floor tiling underfoot - either way, this is a statement welcome! The lower level is all about living and entertaining with the foyer flowing past a formal lounge with front garden views, into an epically big, combined living/dining area that wraps around the kitchen and extends through one set of sliders into a glass-enclosed sunroom/rumpus and out to the grassy backyard through a second.

While the front lounge has carpet, large, polished tiles are an ideal choice for the other social spaces that will see constant trekking between indoors and out. The kitchen is also well-appointed to cater to a house of this size with reams of moulded cabinetry, a big gas cooker with a stainless steel/tiled splashback up to its rangehood, a wall oven, space to house a double door fridge/freezer, and chic gooseneck tapware.

The carpeted accommodations are nicely balanced, with 3 downstairs - serviced by a full bathroom and a powder room next to the laundry, and 4 above - branching off a family room on the landing, with a study area next to it fitted with built-in storage. The super-spacious master is the most well-appointed of the upstairs bedrooms, sporting a walk-in robe and a luxe ensuite with both a shower and tub, but - if you have in-laws or long-term guests staying, the other front-facing bedroom will be a welcome find. This one has 2 built-in robes and an adjoining sitting area or study with more storage and A/C. Like the back 2 bedrooms, also fitted with BIRs, the guest suite is serviced by a second full bathroom with a shower.

To the grounds now, and if low - maintenance landscaping is on your wish list - tick that box off! Out back, a covered patio makes a lovely spot for enjoying alfresco meals and listening to birdsong from the trees in the fabulous park and playground behind the rear fence. An open-air concrete pad extends off the patio - perfect for handball and practicing all the hoop sports - spilling onto more easy-mow lawn.

10 minutes on foot is about the most time you need to set aside to get to Runcorn Plaza, Warrigal Square, handy bus stops, and Warrigal Rd State School. By car, it's a short drive to Runcorn State High (3 minutes), Fruitgrove train station (4), and 10 onto the M1. As for bigger shopping hubs - you're 7 minutes from Pinelands Plaza, 8 to Market Square/Sunnybank Plaza/Underwood Marketplace, and 9 to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown/Calamvale Central/Westfield Mt Gravatt - now that's choice! For space, versatility, convenience, and style - this property won't be beaten.
