This fabulous entertainer will be your family's personal refuge away from the outside world. A private sanctuary, this north-facing brick lowset sits on a huge 960sqm block, with a large patio out back, a tranquil pool and plenty of open yard space for children and pets to play in. A walk away from local shops, city-bound buses and the local park, its kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated to a new contemporary standard, and new floorboards throughout have revitalised this ideal family residence.

Conveniently located for family's seeking a bit of peace and quiet without sacrificing on proximity, this sprawling property sits in a family-friendly neighbourhood nestled amongst parks. Only a short seven minute walk to Drakes Parkinson, it's an even shorter stroll via a handy shortcut to a bus stop where you can catch numerous city-bound buses (130, 131, 132, 135 and P129). The Springfield Crescent Park is also only down the road, with Parkinson Aquatic Centre only a four minute drive away for weekend fun. Perfectly located for the morning and afternoon drop-off with Calamvale Community College only a seven minute drive away and two local childcare centres close by too, you'll also be able to reach Calamvale Marketplace in just six minutes.

Positioned far back from the road, this gorgeous colonial-style home has a short, ultra-private street frontage, providing your family with security and solitude. Sitting on a fully-fenced block, a large lawn area and neat gardens out front flank a long paved driveway to the double-doored lock-up garage and front porch. Featuring a beautiful gabled roof with colonial-style embellishments overhead, the porch leads you through to the foyer within.

Boasting a unique, ambling floorplan with brand new floorboards throughout and 2.7 ceilings, you'll find a separated lounge and dining room on the right. A large area, perfect for using as your formal lounge and dining space, it is air-conditioned for your comfort and would make a great entertaining space for more refined occasions. Through here, you'll reach the family living and dining area, adjoined by the corner kitchen.

Another expansive space, a fan above this internal area provides ample air-flow for relaxed family dining or lounging, with the renovated kitchen off-to-the-side an interesting centrepiece. Featuring an island bench with a breakfast bar, plenty of stone benchtops and cabinetry, a tiled splashback, a huge pantry, an electric stovetop and rangehood, and a dishwasher, it overlooks the covered patio outside from windows above the sink.

Adjacent to this space you'll find yet another large living area: the rumpus room. An ideal spot for your games room, it leads directly out onto the covered patio via sliding doors. A sprawling paved area, this patio is sure to be your family's entertainment hub when hosting barbecues, family gatherings or pool parties, it overlooking the huge backyard and pristine in-ground pool.

With copious amounts of grassy space here for children and pets to run wild in, neat established gardens and trees provide a sense of tranquillity and peace in this family haven, with two sheds providing storage for your gardening tools. There's even a 5000L water tank that will help slash your bills and make your home more water conscious.

Four bedrooms and a study - or a fifth bedroom - provide your growing family with plenty of space. All of the rooms feature carpets and ceiling fans, three of the children's rooms also featuring air-conditioning units and built-in wardrobes. The massive light-drenched master, positioned at the front of the home, also has an air-conditioning unit, large bay window, huge walk-in robe and a renovated ensuite.

Like the shared bathroom, the ensuite has been exquisitely renovated to include floor-to-ceiling marble-look tiles, a single vanity and shower, the shared bathroom also having a bathtub. Through the big laundry room you'll also obtain access to the separate water closet, making morning routines easier.

A quaint residence, this beautiful home also offers the following:
- Security screens throughout
- Workshop or storeroom in double garage
- Fully insulated
- Tiled roof
