With a glass wall on one side and integrated cabinetry opposite, the large study shares the city views and provides desk seating areas for the kids, closed cupboards and display shelves, a great work-from-home location and a quiet reading space. Step outside onto the arbour-covered sundeck and high-walled, ultra-private and sunny, north-facing courtyard for a coffee or a study break.

Appointed with premium Miele and Bosch appliances and solid granite worktop and raised, seated dining surfaces, the well-equipped and well-ventilated kitchen is filled with features and boasts an abundance of clever storage and small appliance spaces. Incorporated is high-performing induction cooking, an integrated microwave oven, practical dual sinks and a Zip HydroTap.

A separate entry door takes you into the games, gym or media room, which, with its bathroom and built-in shelving creates an ideal, older teenager's retreat, a 5th bedroom, studio or a private guest suite.

With efficient split-system air-conditioning installed throughout each level, every room is comfortable and quiet. Descend to the lower ground floor with its newly carpeted, king-sized master suite showcasing a lounge seating area, a walk-through robe and an ensuite with solid stone-topped vanity.

This master retreat opens directly onto a very large outdoor terrace with a frameless glass balustrade separating it from sandstone tiled steps that lead to the inground pool level and flat, easy-care backyard. A kitchenette with a Miele induction hob, a bar fridge recess, ample cabinetry and bifold windows opening onto a servery is a convenient addition.

The uppermost floor of the tri-level residence holds three generously sized built-in bedrooms, each with balcony access and high, raked ceilings with glass upper wall infills to allow passive light and winter warmth. One of these bedrooms has a walk-through robe and ensuite, with a family bathroom situated at the end of the hall.

This level also contains the double garage, separated from the main home by a light-filled, naturally ventilated laundry and an ingenious, tiled drying area.

Unseen, at the very back of the block, are terraced garden beds that would be perfect for growing herbs and veggies, if desired, or retained with the low-maintenance plantings already in place. Making the most of this 556m2 allotment, the landscape's thoughtful design works extremely well and requires very little upkeep.

Being a mere 2-minute walk from Bardon Central on MacGregor Terrace, and with bus stops even closer to take you into the city, Brisbane's major shopping centres, along Paddington's dining strip to Suncorp Stadium and back again, this address delivers amenities close at hand for students, city workers and those who'd prefer to leave the car at home.

This home rests in the catchment for Ithaca Creek State School, Rainworth and Kelvin Grove State College, with several Brisbane's finest private schools located within a 3-5km radius.
