Overview
A TOOHEY FOREST TREEHOUSE ON 1,110M2 LAND!
40 O'Neil Street in Moorooka is a highly sought-after and rarely available home, meticulously maintained and cherished by the current family for over 32 years. It is ideally situated on the hillside at the edge of Tarragindi, offering elevated treetop views across Toohey Forest and the surrounding rooftops extending to Mount Coot-tha and beyond.
The property exudes a sense of calm, tranquility, and peace, enhanced by the surrounding trees, gentle breezes, and soothing songbirds. This unique atmosphere is difficult to replicate, thanks to the elevated position on a 1,110 square meter block featuring a relatively level, north-facing backyard.
The adjacent forest creates the impression of an extension of the backyard, complemented by a large wrap-around, covered, and insulated deck that facilitates indoor-outdoor living and a strong connection to nature throughout the year.
The modernized kitchen, located upstairs, serves as the heart of the home. It is designed for entertaining, featuring an adjacent dining area and servery bi-fold windows opening to the deck, with immediate access to an outdoor dining space. Fly-screens on all windows and doors, including the bi-folds, allow cross-ventilation and refreshing breezes from the treetops to flow through the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas. Enhanced insulation helps maintain comfortable temperatures, keeping the home cool in summer and warm in winter.
A central hallway provides access to three bedrooms upstairs, each equipped with built-in robes. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a skylight, separate bath, and shower.
Downstairs offers a versatile and spacious rumpus room with multiple potential uses, such as a teenager's retreat, sewing room, or grandparents' staycation space. This area includes a kitchenette with a sink, ample storage, a small fridge, air-conditioning, and secure screen doors. An adjacent separate second toilet and laundry room provide options to further enhance the space, including the possibility of adding a full second bathroom in an under-roof area currently housing a spa, which will be taken by the current owner.
Secure accommodation for cars, boats, trailers, or caravans is abundant. Two remote garage doors provide access under the home, where an additional trailer can fit and has direct access to the backyard. A remote gate allows entry for two taller vehicles under cover. Additionally, two car spaces atop the driveway offer parking for a boat, caravan, or two guest vehicles off-street.
The gardens and grounds have been thoughtfully planned and maintained over the past 32 years to maximize the use of space. A 5,000-liter water tank is discreetly located around the side of the home, and commercial-grade fencing encloses most areas. Purposefully planted hedges provide privacy, while other shrubs and trees surround a powered shed and workshop in the backyard.
The home has undergone several excellent upgrades, including:
- Internal walls re-plastered with added thermal insulation
- Water supply from the street and complete house re-piping
- New electrical switchboard and rewiring
- Replacement of all doors and windows, with front façade casement windows restored to maintain street appeal
- Four-camera NVR CCTV system with remote access and an intruder alarm system
- Solar hot water system and a 5,000-liter water tank with pump
