From the moment you arrive at 2 Valley View Drive, Meringandan West, you sense that this is not just a home, but a place for family to truly grow together. On its gentle 1.5-acre hillside, surrounded by open skies and landscaped grounds, lies a residence designed for modern families who value connection as much as independence.
Inside, the home unfolds across two spacious levels, giving every generation the room they need. Upstairs, four large bedrooms provide private retreats, while formal lounge and dining rooms open wide for family dinners and celebrations. Polished timber floors flow underfoot, and a sunroom facing north and east is ideal for quiet mornings, coffee in hand, while children get ready for the day. The family kitchen combines character with practicality: rich timber cabinetry, granite benches, quality appliances, and a walk-in pantry ready for big weekly shops and Sunday feasts.
Downstairs, life takes on another dimension. With three more bedrooms, its own full kitchen and dining, a lounge, bathroom with accessible shower, and a utility room, it's a complete second home within a home. Picture grandparents living comfortably here, teenagers enjoying their own space, or visiting family always having a wing of their own. Everyone is together, yet no one is crowded.
Step outside and the lifestyle only grows. A covered entertaining area is perfect for birthdays, long lunches, and Christmas gatherings. Kids will race to the playhouse, explore the orchard, or toast marshmallows around the firepit. There's a double garage with workshop for weekend projects, solar power and water tanks for efficiency, and a shed pad waiting for your dream pool or sports court.
The setting balances peace and convenience: across from Valley View Park, buses to local and Toowoomba schools stop at the gate, and Highfields' shops, medical, and cafes are only 10 minutes away.
This home is not about preserving history-it's about writing your own. It's about decorating to your style, filling each room with laughter, and creating a place where three generations can thrive side by side. A home where family comes first, every day.
2 Valley View Drive is now ready for the next family story. Arrange your private viewing today, and begin your chapter here.
