53 Deerhurst Road, BROOKFIELD QLD 4069

Stylishly renovated, this perfect escape from the urban rat race offers privacy, comfort and plenty of living space all in a tranquil bushland setting just 20 minutes from the city. Architectural attention to detail has resulted in a seamless integration of space, light and form to create multiple airy living spaces. The formal lounge and dining has bi-fold doors that can be closed to retain the cosy warmth of the wood-burning fire in winter, or thrown open to provide access to a magnificent 21m covered verandah in warmer weather. The family room, with soaring 5m ceilings and a gas fireplace, is just as versatile. Picture book windows admit garden views all year round, while the huge timber doors that open onto the covered verandah can be closed for winter warmth or opened to catch the summer breezes. The functional, streamlined kitchen helps make entertaining easy. It has a range of European appliances, including a stream oven, an abundance of 2-pac cupboards and a vast 3.5m Corian bench with built-in sinks. Downstairs, the music room is spacious and comfortable and opens out through French doors to the verandah, garden and pool.
