21 Tingward St, The Gap QLD 4061, Australia

The sloping driveway up to the two car lock-up garage, with remote control access, and covered carport for another motor car, is an early indication of the views that await you. And they are commanding, with the home facing south-east and from its elevated position taking in the small valleys that comprise most of The Gap, its forests and greenery. It’s a vista that every south-east position and room in the residence enjoys, and that’s most of them.

The front entry to the home is through two passage ways, either directly through the front door or from garage access that opens into the kitchen. A beautiful lead-light panel graces the entrance, stepping onto a tiled floor, before carpet fills the foundation of the family and living rooms, only stopping at the kitchen where dark, inviting hues of slate tiles comprise the remainder of the area which is vast. The laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen and includes a separate, private toilet for the convenience of those downstairs.

The kitchen itself, complete with a 4-burner electric range, dishwasher and oven, enjoys an expanse of space on either side of it for establishing a dining room, more leisurely family use to make the most of a wood-burning fire place when winter wanders in. It’s all there and cooled by a split-system AC unit. A sliding rear door also opens onto the extensively paved rear area of the home, with a portion covered for entertaining guests or family.

The kingly nature of this split-level abode and all that it embodies is further highlighted up a short flight of stairs to the second level. The Master Bedroom with ensuite opens onto a south-facing balcony and is furnished with a cushy carpet, walk-in closet and split-system AC unit.

The other three upstairs bedrooms are serviced by a combined shower, tub and sink and a separate toilet.

Each of the bedrooms, and the downstairs living area, enjoys the creature comforts of a fully ducted and vented air-conditioning system, built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. The north-facing bedroom has a small, special balcony and is indicative of the unique features awaiting your discovery. And there are plenty.

The home itself has a street presence emboldened by mature and flourishing flora, and irrigated by a water tank, with a wide walkway to take you to the front door if driving won’t and a fully-fenced backyard.
