1 Merinda Drive, Palmwoods QLD 4555

It's hard not to be wowed by the leafy surrounds and gorgeous country vistas of this elegant family home.

Situated on the edge of sought-after Palmwoods, this beautifully presented single-level property boasts an exceptional 10 x 5m saltwater pool, extensive covered outdoor entertaining and a brand new 110m2 shed.

And all on an utterly private and peaceful 5,203m2 close to the coast's best beaches and bushwalks, schools, shopping centres and transport links.

Outside, the low-maintenance, fully fenced gardens offer a natural playground for children and pets to enjoy in safety. Level lawns and established plants create a haven of tranquility, and the mature trees deliver a harvest of mangos, avocados, oranges, mandarins, guava and macadamia nuts.

The huge concrete-floored shed, meanwhile, with its 3.4m roller door, will accommodate everything from boats and trailers to the biggest caravans, and has its own driveway entrance and double gate.

At the heart of this fully renovated home is a sleek contemporary kitchen with stone benchtops, 900mm Fisher & Paykel oven, induction cooktop, sit-up counter and servery window.

The kitchen flows out to a sizeable covered alfresco dining and BBQ space overlooking the pool - the perfect place to entertain, or just sit back and soak up the serenity. Wide wraparound verandahs, meanwhile, create cool shaded spaces on three sides.

The generous internal floorplan includes an open plan dining and living room adjoining the kitchen, and an additional lounge room providing separation for busy families.

There are four bedrooms, all with built ins, including a spacious master offering lovely views, private deck access and a chic ensuite bathroom.

A modern family bathroom and good-sized laundry also feature, while parking includes both an epoxy-floored double remote garage and an oversized carport with space for four cars.

Temperature control is ensured through a 15.5kW reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system, and flyscreened doors and windows allow the coastal breezes to flow. There are ceiling fans throughout - including across the external entertaining deck.

A 5kW solar system ensures excellent energy efficiency, and some 80,000L of filtered tank water means you will never run dry.

If you're looking for a tranquil hinterland lifestyle home close to the Sunshine Coast's best amenities, this immaculate property really does have it all.
