12 Colorado Avenue,
Bardon 4065, Queensland

Trends are in constant flux - the excitement of contrasting wall colours giving way to white, exterior brick, painted weather boards, the occasional weathered Californian Redwood - this seventies house with interior timber stained walls and floors and greenery visible from windows in every room - continues to strike the visitor as 'modern'. This is the house you will encounter at 12 Colorado Avenue, Bardon.

A substantial 810m2 block, with two-street access, it comes with the bonus of 20 metre frontages on both Colorado Avenue and Sixth Avenue. For nearly 50 years, this home has been loved and cherished by one family, the original builders, owners and gardeners. In more recent years a grandchild, nephew or niece has been drawn to residing in the downstairs bedroom when moving to Brisbane for studies or work. And now, this house is ready to be home for a new family.

Architect designed at the height of modernism's second wave in 1974 and completed in 1977, the house is a study in balance, geometry, nature, openness and shelter. Materials left exposed, structure became art. Nearly 50 years later, it stands as a reminder that good design is not about the year it was built, it is about how it lives through time.

Surrounded by a beautiful leafy outlook and established greenery, the 2-storey home offers 4 bedrooms, study or 5th bedroom, formal dining and living, casual meals area and kitchen, covered north facing deck, TV room, 4 car parking and 2 lockup sheds.

Walk up from Colorado Avenue along a gently sloping pathway to the front door with not one step up all the way. From one of the two cars in the nearby carport it is easy to move groceries into the house.

The formal living and dining room, master bedroom with ensuite, second bedroom or study form one section of the house. Walking through to the kitchen which is large and light filled, you will also find a casual meals area. The kitchen features stainless steel benches, electric cook top and stove. From this area a great covered deck overlooks the beautiful maintained garden and trees, that provides privacy from neighbours and the street. There are two further bedrooms and main bathroom on this level, along with a very large laundry, which doubles as a sewing and ironing room.

A lovely addition to the home is the spiral staircase which takes you from the main floor to the lower level. In the 70's, spiral staircases were very popular and now they are being incorporated in modern interior design, valued for their space-saving efficiency and aesthetic appeal. On the lower level is a bedroom of great size with sliding glass doors accessing the concreted under house area. A TV room is situated beside this bedroom. There are 2 lock up sheds and 2 car spaces on this concreted area beneath the house. The 2 car spaces here are in addition to the carport housing two cars on the top level.

Located within the Rainworth State School and Kelvin Grove State College catchment areas. Also centrally positioned to some of Brisbane's finest private schools, and the restaurant precincts of both Bardon and Rosalie. A short five-minute drive to beautiful Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens and J.C. Slaughter Falls. It is only 5 kilometres to the City Centre.
