72 Forestwood Drive, Buderim

Looking for a family home with spectacular coastal views and a ton of space, all within easy proximity of the coast's best schools, beaches, shops and restaurants?

72 Forestwood Drive provides an opportunity to really stamp your mark on a substantial property in a dress-circle location.

Situated in a private and peaceful cul-de-sac within an easy walk of Immanuel Lutheran College and the bush trails of EJ Foote Sanctuary, the property is less than a ten-minute drive to Maroochydore Plaza and the beaches of Alexandra Headland and Mooloolaba.

Designed to capture the coastal breezes, it provides panoramic views across to Maroochydore and north to Mudjimba and Yaroomba.

The northeast-facing home encompasses high ceilings, a large office, four bedrooms, a separate studio/fifth bedroom and a sparkling inground pool. Then there's the multiple living spaces, creating ideal upstairs/downstairs separation for busy families.

The versatile two-storey layout can be configured to suit your needs - whether you require a granny flat, guest accommodation or perfect work-from-home business space.

At its heart is a big granite-topped kitchen with walk-in pantry and separate laundry. The kitchen features excellent storage, ample counterspace, modern stainless appliances and a servery opening onto the alfresco entertaining area beyond.

An adjoining open-plan lounge and dining area leads out to the covered entertaining deck and pool through glass sliding doors. There's access off the deck to a bathroom and separate air-conditioned studio, currently set up as a teen retreat.

Split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans, louvres and flyscreens ensure excellent airflow and cooling throughout the home, while a powerful 8.82kW solar system means power bills are negligible. A sizeable downstairs office has its own external access and adjoins a huge double garage with extra workshop space.

Upstairs, the impressive games room comfortably accommodates a full-sized pool table and flows into generous media and lounge spaces with gorgeous views. There's access here to a wide covered verandah - an idyllic spot to soak up spectacular sunrises and soft evening light across the coastal landscape.

All five good-sized bedrooms (four of them upstairs) feature built-in wardrobe space. They include a roomy master with lovely outlook serviced by a walk-in robe and modern ensuite. Also upstairs is the contemporary family bathroom.

Outside, the easy-care gardens feature thoughtful landscaping designed around the shaded, resort-style deck and 9 x 4m saltwater pool. It's easy to forget you're so close to the heart of Buderim and the bustling Maroochydore CBD as you absorb the tranquility of the private, leafy surrounds.

If you're looking for a spacious, elevated Buderim home with potential to be taken to the next level, it doesn't get any better than this.
