'What stays with you here is how much living there is on one block. There are proper rooms for everyone inside, a backyard that suits a party or a quiet Sunday, and the school and shops are a short walk away.' - Saeed Moghaddam
School mornings in Creekwood are easy. Bags go on, the front door shuts behind you, and it's a short walk under the gums to St John's Anglican College, with Forest Lake Shopping Centre and the bus station just as close for the weekly shop or the commute. Brighton Parade sits on a generous 900m² block with a north-facing aspect, and the front porch opens through a teal door into an entry lit by a chandelier. Panelled wainscoting climbs the stair wall beside timber treads, and plantation shutters filter the light at the top. It's a small touch of luxe that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The paint is fresh and the light fittings have been updated throughout, so you can move straight in.
The ground floor gives everyone somewhere to be. Dark timber floors run from the formal lounge, with its chandelier, to the media room, where double white barn doors slide back to reveal a built-in entertainment wall ready for family movie nights. Homework happens at the study nook, set against a duck-egg blue shiplap wall with floating shelves and a built-in desk, close enough to the kitchen for a quick question. The kitchen itself is the one people will talk about after the inspection. It has white shaker cabinetry, glass-front upper cupboards, white benchtops, an induction cooktop, a wall oven and an integrated double-door fridge that sits flush with the joinery. A pale blue island under white pendants takes care of breakfast and after-school snacks. The open family and dining area flows on from there, with ducted air conditioning, a powder room and a laundry close by, and internal access to the double garage. In the garage, a Tesla electric car charger runs on three-phase power, so the car is charged and ready by morning.
Out the back is where the summer parties will happen. A huge enclosed entertaining room has its own outdoor kitchen, with a stainless steel BBQ, a sink and a rangehood set against a brick feature wall, plus room for the long table and the whole extended family. The above-ground pool is heated, wrapped in decking and edged with agave gardens, so swimming season stretches well past summer. The gazebo, garden shed and rainwater tank all stay, and side access takes the extra car, caravan or boat. Upstairs, five bedrooms share a second living area. The main suite has two walk-in robes, a private balcony and an ensuite with a bath, shower and twin basins. The other four bedrooms have built-in robes and share a main bathroom with a bath, twin basins and a separate WC. A 13.1kW solar system less than a year old keeps the power bills in check. The 900m² block also offers the possibility of a future subdivision into two lots (subject to council approval), so this home has room to grow in more ways than one.
