Getting tired of telling the children to ‘shoosh’ and ‘keep it down’? Sirens, screaming and shouting might be common sounds in suburbia, but there is a quieter alternative … where neighbourhood noise means twittering birds, and kids have the freedom to just be kids.

Discover the secret to a peaceful family lifestyle at 9 Lilly Pilly Road in picturesque Pullenvale, where a modern brick family home enjoys the privacy and tranquillity afforded by its 2.5 acre private ridge top bush block.

For anyone who loves spending time in the great outdoors — or simply admiring them from a comfy indoor couch — this easy-flowing property has a place for everyone and features:
* 3 bedrooms plus a study or fourth bedroom with two bathrooms, including a large master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite;
* A contemporary, neutral colour scheme with fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, stunning bushland views, and tropical pool
* A private outlook with a practical layout.

A hedged pathway leads to a covered porch and in through the front door — in one direction is the air-conditioned fourth bedroom or study at the front of the property, as well as internal access to the large double garage. With air-conditioning, carpet and a sliding door leading out to the pool, it could be the ultimate man cave or media room, and your cars could still enjoy protection from the elements thanks to the outdoor carport.

In the other direction, ever-stylish and family-friendly terracotta tiles lead to a sunken, open-plan lounge and dining room boasting a spacious kitchen with a dishwasher, stainless steel oven, ceramic cooktop and a large step-in pantry.

Casual get-togethers are right at home here . with a wall of glass overlooking the bush and sliding doors opening to a large covered pergola, the boundaries between inside and out are beautifully blurred. Carry some steak outside and watch the sunset over the mountains towards Lake Manchester as you fire up the BBQ, listening to squeals of fun and delight as the kids cool down in the pool.

You’ll never be short of something to do here . bush walking, sitting and enjoying the bird watching, or taking a dip in your very own bushland billabong, a tropically-inspired pool surrounded by swaying palms and clipped hedges with the added bonus of a new chlorinator, pump and Barracuda cleaner.

Inside, grown-ups or kids alike could lay claim to the separate, carpeted sitting room as a formal lounge, dining area or playroom.

Away from the living areas are the laundry and three other bedrooms — the first two, both with built-in cupboards, share the neutrally-decorated family bathroom, while parents won’t be able to resist escaping to their own master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite with corner spa, shower and dual vanity.

9 Lilly Pilly Road also enjoys:

* Native plants which create a natural haven for friendly visitors including kookaburras, kangaroos, wallabies, butterflies and even deer;
* Hidden dog fence around the house pad;
* Separate garden shed; and a
* Short drive to Pullenvale State School and shopping at Kenmore, Indooroopilly and just 20 minutes to the city.
