116 Boscombe Road, Brookfield QLD 4069

This inviting, split-level home is filled with light and space and spills out onto a wide green lawn. Wallabies hop slowly across the lawn under towering gum trees. Rosellas, curlews and cockatoos call to each other. Kookaburras laugh. You don't see or hear neighbours.

The home, built in 2001, is testimony to how clever design can take a young family seamlessly through the years. The guest wing is isolated from the rest of the house and works equally well for a teenager or young adult wanting their own living quarters. As well as the guest wing, the home has a children's wing and a parents' wing so every age group within the family has their own private area. Each wing is linked to the beautiful central living area where the family comes together.

All three wings of the home, as well as the central living area, face the northeast and share the view of the lawn, the trees, the sky, the pool and the forest beyond. The northeast aspect catches breezes all year round, shields the home from the west in summer and embraces the sunshine in winter. The lawn, as well as being big enough for a game of cricket (or rugby or soccer), is a dreamy setting for celebrations.

From the moment you step through the double door entrance, the panorama of lawn, trees and sky greets you and fills the home. The few steps down to the kitchen give you an even wider scope of the bush setting. You feel the flow from the kitchen to the living area to the large verandah to the lawn and trees.

The kitchen's long stone bench looks out to the view to connect family, guests and the outside. The stainless-steel oven and dishwasher are raised to a height that saves your back. The walk-in-pantry is so large you can swing around in a full circle and not even touch the edges of the shelves. And everywhere is storage. Lots of storage. The dining area next to the kitchen shares the beautiful northeast view and is well positioned for family meals, homework, study and tte--ttes.

The home's high ceilings lift you up. Bi-fold doors and louvres throughout the living areas usher in the breezes. The clean lines and neutral palette of white walls, Spotted Gum polished timber floors and abundance of glass imbue the home with a timeless quality.

From the central living area you enter the children's wing, which can be closed off to create quiet time for study. The rumpus room has a long workbench, entertainment area and windows that bring the outside in. The three double bedrooms in the children's wing are carpeted with built in robes, desks and large windows to the view. A three-way bathroom has been designed to avoid the usual bathroom disagreements. The shower is separate from the toilet and the basin-mirror nook is separate from them both.

The separate formal lounge and dining room with large windows overlooking the view to the northeast adjoins the guest wing, which features a double bedroom with northeast view and large ensuite. This wing is spacious, comfortable and private.

The parents' wing is on the second level. The master suite is carpeted with a huge window framing the beautiful view to the northeast. The walk-in-robe is large. If having a bath while soaking up the view is something you cherish, the ensuite holds a wonderful surprise for you. The bath is surrounded by a wall of glass on two sides to the south and the east. No-one can see in. It's just you in the bath gazing out at the trees and sky. The upper floor also houses a two person home office with two long workbenches, shelving and a view to the southern boundary. This room is also ideal for a nursery.

The laundry is the size of a small kitchen and has direct access to the clothesline outside. The walk-in linen press is yet another ample storage area. The wine cellar has its own air conditioning system and room for 1500 bottles.

Walk into the three car, eight bicycle garage and the feeling is one of active, outdoor living. There is extra space for the workshop that houses tools and the ride-on lawn mower, which has its own roller door to the garden. In front of the garage, next to the home's front entrance, is an outside parking area with space for another three cars.

At the end of the road is Brisbane State Forest known for its excellent mountain bike trails and running trails. The forest trails join onto Gap Creek trails as well as Mt Coot-tha trails. In a four hour round trip, you can ride your mountain bike all the way to Mt Nebo through D'Aguilar National Park. You're only minutes to Brookfield's semi-rural community with its heritage listed Showground, Hall and Anglican Church and its State School, Pony Club, General Store and Markets. Brookfield continues to be an active community honouring its farming past.
