Imagine loving living in a place so much that when your family started to outgrow it, you decided to grow the house to match the family. That's exactly what's happened here. This home has been taken from its simpler beginnings and transformed into a prestigious and extraordinary residence in a prime position, overlooking the city, out to the coast, and with hundreds of acres of stunning natural bushland right on your doorstep.
This is Clifton Hills at its absolute best.
No matter how many photos you look at, how much of the video you watch, or how much I write about it, nothing comes close to visiting this property and seeing everything that's on offer. It's simply extraordinary.
LIVING HERE
The floor plan gives a huge amount of detail as to what is on offer here, so take some time to explore it and get an idea of the incredible space that's available. I'll break things down into the upstairs and downstairs areas and give you a brief rundown of what's happening outside. If you'd like the very, very long version, watch the video as I take you on a rambling room-by-room journey through this thumping big house.
The ground level, and at the centre of everyday life, is the lovely kitchen and meals area. It's a substantial space and sure to be where most days and evenings start and finish.
Life is a busy thing sometimes, and just because it's busy doesn't mean it shouldn't be fun and relational. The kitchen has a huge breakfast bar that wraps along the front and side, letting whoever's working in the kitchen be part of the action, and whoever's enjoying whatever comes out of the kitchen easily involved with what's happening. There's great storage in here, as well as gas cooking and a double oven.
This central living area flows out to the alfresco area, but we'll come back to that shortly.
The large lounge room can be closed off from the rest of the house, so you do have the freedom to separate the spaces if you need to. The beautiful timber floorboards through this part of the home are very attractive, and even though it's a huge home, there's still a sense of warmth and atmosphere throughout these spaces. The main bedroom is at the front of the home and features a large ensuite bathroom and a heap of room to enjoy. A king-size bed will comfortably fit in here, and the walk-in wardrobe should meet the storage needs of even the most reluctant-to-part-with-it character. The main bedroom opens out onto the front balcony, and there's beautiful natural airflow through this space if you don't want to run the air conditioner. Bedroom number two features a walk-in robe.
Upstairs, there are so many features to love. There's a good-sized living space, as well as a kitchenette and study area. Both bedrooms are of impressive size, and there's significant space to work with in each. These aren't rooms for just a single bed. We're talking king-size bedrooms that will stand the test of time for your family, no matter what age the occupants of your home happen to be.
The games room, studio, or potentially even fifth bedroom is a great feature. If you really needed to, each of the occupants of these two upstairs bedrooms could have their own living space. One gets the main area, one gets the games room, or somebody uses this room as a bedroom and sets it up like a studio with their own lounge room. I could sit here and offer all the different options, but you know your family and you know your needs. Here's the space. See how it fits.
The upstairs balcony is very large, and it makes perfect sense to have a space like this because from up here you have some of the best views going. You can see the city, you can see towards the coast, and every night there are spectacular sunsets. The awesome backdrop of the twinkling lights of the suburbs below never gets boring. The degree of versatility in this home can't be overstated. The degree of appeal is difficult to put into words.
When it comes to the outdoor areas, the balcony is a huge element of the lifestyle upstairs. Downstairs, there's all that room for big gatherings in the ground-level alfresco area. It's positioned adjacent to the main living area, so there's wonderful natural flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. There's serious room to entertain out here and throughout the garden as well. The outdoor kitchen area is perfectly positioned to cater to the masses.
We're in the hills, and if you've looked at many hills homes, you'll have seen some less-than-impressive efforts made around utilising the block. The site works and retaining on this property are outstanding, and functional terraced spaces have been created throughout the backyard. With the backdrop of Banyowla Regional Park behind you, it really is something else.
In this home, it's all about family, food, fantastic views, and a fabulous future with a home that will cater to the needs of today and tomorrow. It's multi-generational, it's multi-family, it's multi-purpose, and it's magnificent.

WHERE IT IS
With hundreds of acres of natural bushland behind you and pretty much everything in the whole wide world in front of you, this property is set at the top of the residential area known as Clifton Hills. While we're in an amazing location that feels far removed from suburbia, it's just two streets away from the bus stop that takes you to the train station and lets you be about your business very easily.
It's walking distance to Clifton Hills Primary School, one of the most respected and sought-after school zones in the district, and just moments away from shops, cafés, gyms, and more.
