147 Scrub Road, Carindale, Qld 4152

PARKING FOR OPEN HOMES. Additional street parking for visitors on Talwood Court.

By late afternoon, this place starts showing off.

The sun drops behind the city, the skyline sharpens from the upstairs balcony and downstairs, the backyard slips easily into evening mode. The pizza oven is going; the pool catches the last of the light and there is every reason to stay outside a little longer. It is a pretty compelling picture of life here, but this Carindale home has plenty working in its favour long before sunset arrives.

Back at street level, the mood is established and understated. Set high along Scrub Road with a leafy reserve opposite, the two-storey brick home is framed by beautifully kept gardens, established hedging and a charming rock-edged garden that brings a little character to the frontage. Creamy brickwork, pale window trims and a grey tiled roof keep the palette neutral, while the greenery provides both softness and a welcome degree of privacy.

Then those wide timber double doors open, and the scale of the home becomes much clearer.

A broad hallway makes the arrival feel generous, with the ground floor branching naturally into spaces for gathering, retreating and everything in between. The lounge sits to the right, followed by the main living and dining zone, while a separate bedroom or study to the left creates an easy work-from-home option.

Further in, the kitchen keeps things light and warm. White cabinetry is offset by warmer toned detailing and stone benchtops, with an island bench anchoring the room and a walk-in pantry keeping the everyday clutter neatly out of sight.

There is another dimension to the ground floor, too. A self-contained studio-style space brings its own bathroom, split-system air-conditioning, laundry and kitchenette-style facilities with bench space, along with direct access outdoors. Guests can stay properly. Older children can claim some independence. Extended family has room to settle in. Depending on how life looks, there is also scope to explore its potential as a more independent living arrangement.

Four bedrooms occupy the upper level, placing the home's main sleeping quarters comfortably together. The main suite sits separately to one side with a walk-in robe and ensuite with dual vanities, while built-in robes serve the remaining bedrooms alongside the family bathroom and separate toilet.

There is useful breathing room up here as well, with an additional multipurpose area ready to become a study, children's play space, homework zone or quieter second retreat.

And then there is that balcony.

Elevated above the surrounding streets, it takes in an expansive suburban outlook stretching towards Brisbane's city skyline. Sunset is particularly good from here, and when the city puts on a fireworks display, there may be little reason to leave home for a better seat.

Downstairs, the backyard makes its own case for staying put. The covered deck overlooks a beautifully kept lawn and swimming pool, with established hedging wrapping the space in greenery. Fire up the pizza oven, pull up a few chairs and settle in. Summer belongs around the pool; cooler evenings call for a fire pit and something warm in hand. It is a backyard designed for more than one season.

The broader Carindale lifestyle is just as easy to enjoy. Westfield Carindale, Pacific Golf Club, local parklands, public transport and everyday amenities are all within convenient reach, while Brisbane CBD sits approximately 10 kilometres away. Families are also positioned within the Belmont State School and Whites Hill State College catchments, with the latter offering its renowned French Immersion program.
