Perfectly positioned within the Marist College precinct, this new home from Activates Construction requires only one vital element: a family to call it home in time for Christmas.
It is easy to imagine not only the next Christmas lunch, New Years Eve and day, Easter long weekend, or birthday here, but those for many years to come. Design is here married with luxurious finishes to create a family-oriented home of stunning quality.

The facade is the first impression that begins to define the home. Sitting proudly at the crest of the street on a fully retained 607sqm block, the front yard accomplishes two goals: creating separation from your neighbours and a secondary outdoor space to enjoy. The backyard continues this sense of a lush outdoor haven. Established foliage frames this space, completed by a large mineral pool and tiled pool area.

The heart of the home, that place where you and your family will create those memories, is the primary downstairs living area which these outdoor spaces frame. The eye is quietly drawn around this room to multiple touchpoints. Immediately, the cathedral ceilings, at 3.1m in height, engage the senses and create a soaring space. The texture of the soft, linen curtains filter and diffuse Brisbane’s light – crafting a homely scene. The multiple windows open out onto green gardens or the soft aqua-blue of the pool and it’s tiled surfaces – light and air and space again being enhanced. The island bench in the kitchen is replete with a stone top which mirrors the stone in the splashback. The Travertine pendant lighting over the island is finished with ceramic stone coverings – echoing the stone it hangs above. Each piece functions as part of the larger whole, crafting a picture of warm and bespoke homeliness without overwhelming.

The special touches in this home are what differentiates it, with each opened door and turned gaze revealing another detail designed to enhance and complement your lifestyle. The glass-doored wine store, the cathedral ceilings, the sheer curtains, the additional workshop/home gym space in the garage, or the multiple points of family-oriented storage throughout the home. Each bathroom is given it’s own unique flavour with a different vanity or configuration.

The main suite is where you will cherish relaxation time. A large space with multiple possible configurations, the walk-in wardrobe and ensuite complete this wing of the home.
