SPACIOUS HOME THAT STRETCHES FOREVER
This Redlynch Valley family home offers a large acreage property in a central Cairns suburb and with one of the biggest backyards in the city there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy
There’s a reason why everyone who inspects this Redlynch home walks in through the front, and instantly out the back.
Sitting on a mammoth 4000sqm block, this four-bedroom house at 42-44 Quoll Close, Redlynch Valley has one of the largest backyards in Cairns, backing on to a popular swimming destination — Freshwater Creek.
It is listed with Ulysses Real Estate Cairns’ Donna Waldman for offers over $865,000.
“Quoll Close is pretty well-known by the Redlynch residents as a rather nice street to live in,” Ms Waldman said.
She said the 16-year-old Glenwood Homes build was designed with the backyard in mind.
“A lot of the bedrooms face out on to that yard, the main living area looks out on to that yard and from the kitchen window you’re looking out to the yard.
“And because it’s a huge block … they’ve just made the house that much larger than life as well. The bedrooms are all really big and it has a large living area.”
And with the house already covering such an expansive amount of real estate, Ms Waldman said there was still room to expand.
“If somebody wanted to add a shed or even a two-bedroom granny flat, there’s still plenty of room to do that on the side,” she said.
Ms Waldman said the house had a “feelgood” factor because it was a family home that saw kids enjoy its spacious outdoor features.
“It’s got a lovely atmosphere, lovely ambience inside.
“It’s not unusual for them to set up a little fire out the middle of the grassy area and sit around the fire in the evenings. It’s like you’re out living in the middle of the bush, except you’re not, you’ve got your house right there. Camping in your own backyard.”
She said the fully-fenced property had a “lovely street appeal” and guests were greeted at the front with a welcoming automatic gate, that leads them to the living area.
“And then you’re immediately drawn to the outside.
“I’ve done open homes there and they would walk into that entrance way, into the living area, and then straight into the backyard.”
The large acreage property in a central Cairns suburb comes with the perks of close proximity to a selection of more than five private and public schools as well as childcare centres. About five minutes away is the villagelike Redlynch Shopping centre, catering for all essential shopping requirements.
