W ith a strong connection to their roots in Brisbane, Rachel, Nick and their 3 children were ready to move home after many years living and working interstate and overseas.

Their brief was an extensive one – a large family home on a large block of land over 1500m2. At least 5-6 bedrooms, strong connection between the kitchen / living area and the yard. Room for cubby house, chook pen, cricket, basketball, big family parties and a pool large enough to play Marco Polo! At least 4 bedrooms on one level plus 1 or 2 on another level.

With a 12-month timeframe to find and secure their new prestige home, we embarked on an extensive search across the North / West suburbs of Brisbane to find all on and off-market options. When the time came for their trip to Brisbane we had shortlisted 5 genuine options including 3 off-market properties. The outcome was more than they imagined when we secured their landmark home in a prestige suburb at auction. With City and Eastern views from all levels their elevated family home sits on over 1600m2 of fully usable land. Set over 4 levels, there is a roof top terrace with expansive 270-degree views from the city to the bayside and to the North as well as a light filled office. The next level contains 5 huge bedrooms and the media room. The middle level is home to the guest suite, kitchen and multiple living areas that all lead out to the expansive yard with lagoon size pool and half tennis court. Finally, the lower level has a self-contained 1-bedroom unit and triple garage.
