Situated on a peaceful 1222sqm corner block, this five-bedroom, four-bathroom Coolbinia home has room for the whole family and then some.

Realmark Coastal Sales Representative Paul DiLanzo said this was the perfect home to set up for the long term.

“A larger young family ideally could make this home their 15 to 20-year plan and enjoy the family environment for a lot longer,” he said.

“Extended and modernised in the 90s, the home has a very strong hilltop presence and a timeless style.”

With a grand entrance and soaring glass windows, the abode makes a strong impression on first sight. Through the double-height entry void, a large open-plan living and dining area can be found overlooking a massive backyard.

The chef’s kitchen boasts stone benchtops and quality stainless steel appliances, with a huge walk-in pantry and no lack of storage.

Along with the main bathroom, which offers a double vanity and a Roman bath, three generously sized bedrooms – each with built-in robes – can be found on this ground floor.

“The separation between the adults’ and children’s sleeping quarters give the family breathing space, but they can really come together in the family zones,” Mr DiLanzo said.

Descending into the lower level reveals a hub of hobbies, entertainment and productivity, with a well-sized gym or second garage, a cellar, a workshop and more.

“There is a large entertainment zone downstairs with a pool table, pinball machines and a bar, which all flow out onto a very large alfresco area and the pool,” Mr DiLanzo said.

“Personally, I love this lagoon-style swimming pool and the view from the bay window in the meals area, as it has a bird’s eye view over the whole backyard.”

At the summit of the home sits a lavish master bedroom, with a private balcony, a giant walk-in robe and an opulent ensuite featuring dual vanities and a corner spa. Adjacent to the master suite is a retreat space, perfect for a break from the downstairs action.

Mr DiLanzo said the front of the home benefited from elevated views of the Beverley Murchison Reserve across the road, as well as inland views of the treetops of the surrounding area and suburbs.

“Sitting on the front balcony taking in the park and all the birdsong is pretty special as well,” he said.

“It’s a grand home of generous proportions built for entertaining and liveability in a premium elevated position opposite parkland.”

The home is powered by a 6.5-kilowatt solar panel system and features a CCTV security system and air-conditioning throughout.
