There is an impressive intelligence in the three-level design which is flexible to the changing needs of the residents.

On the top floor is the sellers’ “private getaway space” comprised of the main bedroom, a study nook, and an ensuite complete with a spa bath.

The middle level is made for entertaining with a stainless-steel appliance kitchen and open-plan living area stretching out through open bi-fold doors onto a huge deck.

Covering the ground floor is a teenagers’ retreat which includes three bedrooms, a convenient lounge space and a recently-built second deck.

Soaring ceilings, polished timber floors and strategically-placed windows allow this home to “breathe”. “We didn’t put any paintings up because every window has a painting of its own, which is the outdoors,” the sellers said.

There exists an obvious connection between the interior and nature. The sellers regularly enjoy a relaxing breakfast on the deck where they also like to meditate and take in the uninterrupted 180 degree valley views. “It’s incredibly private,” they said. “No one can see into the house because it’s on top of the ridge.”

Surrounded by greenery yet this 451sq m parcel of land is only 5km south-west of Brisbane’s CBD “You feel like you’re in some forest area,” the sellers said. “It’s very lush and sub-tropical.”

There is also plenty of space to add a trampoline or partake in a competitive backyard cricket match.

Proximity to Brisbane’s best educational facilities, including University of Queensland, is another advantage.

“My boys went to St Peters and I never had to drive them, and then with university they caught the bus out the front door,” the sellers said.
