'Some families outgrow a house. This one was built so you never have to.' - Martin Ma

Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in The Parks 888, this double-storey brick home sits behind a gated front fence and a sweeping paved driveway with room for the whole family's cars, and then some. It's the kind of street that feels made for bikes, scooters and kids who know every neighbour's dog by name.

Step inside and a wide tiled hallway sets the tone - light, generous and easy to move through. Four separate living zones mean everyone gets their own space: a formal lounge and dining room for Sunday lunches, a large family room for movie nights, and a casual meals area right off the kitchen. When the house is full, nobody's on top of each other.

The kitchen has been immaculately maintained, with an electric cooktop, twin wall ovens, stainless rangehood, walk-in pantry and a breakfast bar that's destined to become homework central. Glass doors open straight onto a covered alfresco with an outdoor sink, overlooking a fully fenced lawn with plenty of privacy. A second paved patio runs down the side of the home.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a genuine retreat at more than seven metres wide, with a full wall of built-in robes and a private ensuite with bath and separate shower. Four more bedrooms, each with built-in robes, share a family bathroom with bath and separate shower, plus a separate WC. Downstairs, a sixth bedroom or study sits beside a powder room and a laundry with its own shower. Bathrooms are finished in stone and tile, and ducted air conditioning keeps the whole home comfortable year-round.

Add a double garage, extra off-street parking and a home inside the Stretton State College catchment, with Karawatha Forest, Calamvale and Sunnybank shopping and dining, and easy motorway access all close by. For a growing family, it's hard to ask for more.

INSIDER'S SECRET . . .

The ground floor bedroom sits just steps from the powder room and a laundry with its own shower. That means visiting grandparents, a live-in au pair or a teenager craving independence can have their own zone downstairs, without ever queuing for the bathroom upstairs.
