6 Esperanto Ct, Kearneys Spring QLD 4350

The quality is in the fabric of the place rather than in the styling - and it is the kind of work that is simply not costed into new builds anymore.

All of it sits on 4,031m² in a quiet court off a no-through road, backing onto bushland reserve. No passing traffic at the front, bush at the back, and a green outlook that cannot be built out. Children can ride their bikes out there with ease.

The school run is short, too. Highlands Christian College is 1.68km away, Middle Ridge State School 1.76km, and Centenary Heights State High School 4.24km. The Ridge shopping centre is five minutes.

Inside there are four bedrooms. Three sit together - the master with a walk-in robe and an ensuite in granite with solid timber joinery and an oversized shower, the other two with floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, and a main bathroom between them with a spa bath set beneath a window. Both bathrooms are timber-lined, so the warmth of the entry carries right through the house. The fourth sits off the entry, well away from the rest, which makes it a guest room, a teenager's space or a home office that visitors reach without walking through the house.

The formal dining and lounge is one generous space beneath a soaring timber-lined cathedral ceiling, exposed beams overhead and a wall of exposed brick running the length of it, with a slow combustion wood heater at one end. Victorian Ash polished timber underfoot and sliding doors opening straight onto the other end of the covered outdoor area with the pool beyond. It is a room built for long tables, full houses and winter. A separate sitting/music room opens out onto the covered entertaining area that is protected from rain, strong winds and winter days.

The kitchen is quality Tasmanian oak with Caesarstone bench tops and a walk-in pantry, sitting under a timber-lined raked ceiling with exposed beams and set against a wall of exposed brick. Windows run the length of the bench and look straight out to the deck, with the gums beyond. The dining table alongside is built in and topped in the same Caesarstone, so the family eats together in the kitchen without giving up a separate room to do it. The servery opens to the covered outdoor area - so whoever is cooking stays part of what is happening outside.

That outdoor area is where the summers will go. A large, covered space with café blinds, room for a dining setting and a lounge, and a clear view across the lawn to the saltwater pool.

Upstairs, the rumpus takes a full-size billiard table and still leaves room to move right around it. There is a built-in bar with a sink, timber panelling to the walls, and a balcony off the front looking into the gums. Teenagers can claim it, guests can stay in it, or it can become a fifth bedroom - and it sits far enough from the main living areas that the noise stays where it belongs.

Land, position and a home that has been properly built rarely arrive together in Kearneys Spring - and rarely on a block where the children can be outside and still within sight.
