Architecturally designed and master built, this meticulously maintained home on prestigious Laurel Avenue extends across three sprawling levels to provide space for all the family amidst the most refined of surrounds. Set back from the street along a private drive, the property enjoys maximum privacy and seclusion amidst beautifully maintained formal gardens which also provide stunning verdant views from most aspects of the home.

Inside, a grand foyer really set the tone, with its marble floors and sweeping staircase a mere taste of the expansive proportions and timeless elegance to come. A suite of formal rooms are situated nearby where soaring ceilings, a characteristic marble fireplace, polished Brush Box timber floors and balcony access all contribute grace and grandeur. It is in the nearby casual zone however, where the house really comes into its own, offering space for all the family to live, dine, relax and entertain in effortless style. While the elegant finishes continue throughout this space, the introduction of plantation shutters and views over the pool brings a Hamptons-esque vibe to this area. This feel is further supported by the fabulous alfresco living room which is very much an integrated feature and allows for relaxed meals to be taken outdoors, no matter the season. The gourmet kitchen fits well within this zone, its design and layout obviously created to exacting specifications by an avid culinary devotee, with Gaggenau double ovens, cooktop and steamer all integrated into the expansive, stone-topped cabinetry.

Upstairs, three large bedrooms share the family bathroom while the stunning master suite enjoys its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and balcony overlooking the pool. There is a large media room on this level and a fifth bedroom with ensuite and a study on the main floor. The ground level meanwhile, provides room for two vehicles, plenty of extra storage, a wine room and a gym. Outside, the 1692m2 block has been fully landscaped with immaculate gardens that screen and soften the paved terracotta terraces which surround the pool and home.There is also a freestanding lockable third garage, which can be used for storage or a third car.

Houses in this area rarely come onto the market for the simple reason that they make such wonderful homes in which to raise a family. This residence is a perfect example of that, offering not only five bedrooms and multiple living areas, but a pool and such private grounds. Add in the proximity to good schools and Indooroopilly Shoppingtown, the walking distance to the train station and the prestige ambiance of the area, this grand home really does provide a superlative new address for executives and their families alike.
