On location alone, this contemporary double-storey home is incredibly alluring to families.

Independent day and boarding school John Paul College has a reputation for excellence in education and is less than 2km from Lynette Way.

As is St Edward’s Catholic Primary School, Daisy Hill Early Learning Centre, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, sporting facilities and local cafes.

This residence more than holds its own on a list of Brisbane’s great family homes, and its exclusive address in The Sanctuary estate is just one of its many attributes.

Developed only a few years ago, on an elevated 1,200sq m allotment opposite natural bushland, this is a home with striking clean lines, a considered floorplan and a generous outdoor entertaining space.

It is a simple layout with living areas on the ground floor and bedrooms above.

To be more specific, the study, tiered theatre, and open-plan kitchen, meals and family room are on the lower level.

On the second floor is another shared living room plus four large bedrooms including a master suite with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, retreat space and deck.

The remaining three bedrooms have access to two bathrooms, and are of a size generous enough to accommodate built-in desks and wardrobes.

A covered al fresco space connected to the kitchen and internal dining area epitomises everything lovable about Queensland.

Its high raked hip ceiling, timber flooring, built-in barbecue and mounted television combine to provide an impressive outdoor entertaining room regardless of weather conditions.

Host a dinner and watch the kids splash around in the pool, which is surrounded by decking as well as landscaped gardens.

A triple-car garage includes a separate storage room for gardening equipment although property maintenance is minimal.

Simple but important luxuries include ducted air conditioning, a floating timber staircase, a freestanding bath, a glass kitchen splashback, an enormous island bench, a walk-in pantry, gas cooking, polished timber floors and semi-frameless glass balustrades.

This is a light, spacious, stylish, modern and practical family home in a wonderful location with quick access to Brisbane’s CBD and the Gold Coast.
