Set within the tightly held enclave of The Habitat, this impressive Federation-inspired residence offers a rare combination of timeless character, contemporary luxury and an exceptional natural setting. Surrounded by established parklands, walking trails and bike paths, this prestigious pocket of Bridgeman Downs is prized for its peaceful surroundings, house-proud community and convenient access to Brisbane's CBD, just 15 kilometres away.
Positioned on an elevated 900sqm allotment (with sub-division potential whilst retaining the house STCA), the home enjoys a desirable north-east aspect and a beautiful outlook across the adjoining bushland reserve. With a remarkable sense of privacy and a natural landscape as its backdrop, this is a home where tranquillity comes naturally. Designed across two levels to embrace its surroundings, the residence combines generous family living with elegant finishes, thoughtful renovations and an enviable connection to nature.
From the moment you arrive, the home's timeless character is evident. A welcoming foyer and solid timber staircase introduce the classic Federation-inspired design, while the dedicated media room on the lower level provides a private retreat for movie nights or relaxed entertaining. Alternatively, this could be used as a 5th bedroom with a powder room connected if required. French doors open to a covered patio and beautifully manicured gardens, where towering hedges and a magnificent feature magnolia create a secluded garden setting.
Upstairs, beautiful hardwood timber and cork flooring flow through the main living spaces, where multiple French doors connect seamlessly to the covered outdoor entertaining deck. Overlooking the surrounding greenery, this inviting space is ideal for long lunches, evening drinks or simply unwinding while enjoying the peaceful reserve outlook and exceptional privacy.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen combines striking design with everyday functionality. An expansive four-metre stone island provides the perfect gathering point, complemented by quality appliances, a gas cooktop, a 900mm oven, soft-close drawers and extensive storage. The generous walk-in pantry offers additional cabinetry, space for appliances and an integrated wine rack, ensuring entertaining is as effortless as it is enjoyable.
The master suite is a standout, offering a generous custom walk-in robe and a fully renovated Cemher Microcement ensuite with ABI interior tapware that introduces a sophisticated, contemporary edge to the home's timeless style. Featuring a dual-basin vanity, dual showerheads and a large skylight that draws natural light into the space, the ensuite delivers a beautifully considered, spa-inspired retreat.
Three additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned at the opposite end of the upper level, each featuring built-in robes, ceiling fans and individual split-system air conditioning. A recently updated family bathroom, dedicated study with built-in desk and spacious living and dining areas complete the upper level, providing flexibility for growing families, working from home and entertaining.
Practicality is equally well catered for, with secure automated double garaging, side access, a workshop and additional storage, under-stair storage and a downstairs powder room. Every room in the house has split-system air-conditioning units across both levels and Prowler Proof security screens provide year-round comfort and peace of mind.
Outside, the tiered backyard is a true highlight. Manicured gardens, towering hedges and the feature magnolia frame the home's private outdoor spaces, while the adjoining bushland reserve creates a sense of openness and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether entertaining on the covered upper-level deck or enjoying a quiet moment in the gardens below, the connection to nature is ever-present. Three water tanks provide a combined capacity of 17,500 litres, perfect for those dry months.
Beyond the property, the lifestyle is just as appealing. Enjoy immediate access to surrounding bushland, local parks, walking trails and cycling paths, along with convenient access to major shopping centres and public transport. The area is well serviced by private school bus routes, with Northside Christian College and St Paul's School both approximately 10 minutes away. Brisbane Airport is also readily accessible via Airport Link, while the CBD remains within easy reach.
A residence of enduring character, with thoughtful modern updates and an extraordinary sense of privacy, this is a rare opportunity to secure a quality family home where space, lifestyle and natural beauty come together in one of Bridgeman Downs' most desirable enclaves.
