The floor plan is open and family-friendly with an unobstructed line of sight between the adjoining kitchen, dining, and lounge. The generous living room is characterised by a wide brick fireplace flanked on either side by lovely windows which invite light from the north and greenery from the garden. The kitchen features marble and stainless-steel benchtops, European appliances, big gas range with stainless hood and a great walk-in pantry. For convenience there's seating for at least three at the kitchen bench. It's ideal for breakfast, coffee breaks and homework.

Huge bifold doors run the width of the combined living areas and retract to reveal an enormous screened-in terrace. Whether it's a cosy winter's night by the fireplace or a big get-together with friends and family, this home can support it all. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with hooded Ziegler & Brown BBQ, stone bench tops, wine and beverage fridges and loads of storage. There's an outdoor TV to enjoy footy matches with mates on the terrace. Guests and kids can spill out to the adjoining level grassed area which overlooks the large free-form swimming pool. Relax and enjoy pool parties for all the kids in the neighbourhood as the pool is surrounded by kid-friendly grass. At night it takes on the impression of a fairy garden with soft landscape lighting illuminating the garden beds and the trees with rope swings. This truly is a home for all-seasons and for entertaining on all-scales.

Beyond the swimming pool is a lower lawned terrace which features a secluded firepit area. Here friends and family can enjoy crisp autumn nights under the stars while toasting marshmallows by the fire. By day, the terrace area can be used as a driving range to practice golf swings and teeing off without fear of bothering neighbours or damaging windows. From here the true expanse of this property can be fully appreciated. The firepit/driving range overlooks a grassed tennis court and the flat, sprawling horse paddock. It is a huge amount of land perfect for those seeking their own horse arena. There is even a small horse shed already in place, with plenty of scope for further expansion of stables.

Back inside and there's a separate media/family room which can be closed off from the main living areas. It's a great alternative space for movie or board game nights. It's also the gateway to the home's bedroom and bathroom accommodation. To the right of the media room is an enormous laundry with generous storage and access to the outdoors. The laundry is so large it could be converted to an additional bedroom. The family bathroom is also located in this wing with separate toilet. On the other side of the media room are three bedrooms including the master. Waking up to nature and birdsong each morning from this master bedroom is heavenly. Surrounded by mature trees in all directions, it enjoys total privacy and a perfect north-east aspect overlooking the sparkling swimming pool and gardens. Step straight from bed to the deck for morning yoga or start the day with a dip in the pool, as the master offers direct access to the outdoors. Enjoy a calming outdoor shower surrounded by nature. Alternatively, just head straight to the adjoining ensuite complete with double shower to get the day underway. All three bedrooms in this wing enjoy loads of light, ventilation, and abundant storage with generous built-in-robes.

A fourth bedroom is in its own wing off the main living area. It's ideal as a guest bedroom or a home office as it opens to the front terrace and garden.

There is multi-vehicle accommodation including a two-car garage with automatic door at the front of the property. It is adjoined by a huge shed which could accommodate a caravan, horse float, boat, or large equipment. An additional room is located off the shed which is currently used as an office but could easily be converted to a laundry, wine cellar, or work room.

The Dolman Road cul-de-sac is well-known as a safe, family-friendly community. Neighbourhood kids gather to play basketball and to safely ride their bikes and even their ponies in the street. Neighbours host Halloween parties and Christmas cul-de-sac drinks. Kids take the short walk to Pullenvale State School or a short ride on their horse to Moggill Pony Club. There are private bus services to many schools including Stuartholme, St Aiden's and BBC to name a few. Indooroopilly State High School is approximately 20 minutes away. The IGA (and other amenities) at Pullenvale Market Place is just five minutes away and the Kenmore shopping and eating precincts are only a 10-minute drive. This is a rare opportunity to secure the peace, privacy and beauty of a rural lifestyle while still maintaining easy access to city conveniences and close community connections, all within 18km of the Brisbane CBD.
