Brindabella views, plenty of space and exceptional outdoor living make 11 Cookson Place, a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Banks, a rare kind of family home.

Whether in the home’s living/dining area, the rumpus room or the second living room, the property’s views of the Brindabella Mountains are front and centre.

“In all of the living areas, as well as the main bedroom, there are large windows which really centralise the mountains,” Momentum Property agent Michael Martin says.

And given the amount of living spaces, you won’t run out of places to enjoy that view.

“With 287 sqm of living in the home, there’s more than enough room for a big family. You could very easily have big entertaining in the main living area, kids enjoying the rumpus room and another group in the second living,” Michael says.

“They’re very versatile spaces too. The rumpus room could very easily be transformed into a home gym,” Michael says.

And a fifth bedroom, currently configured as a study, means that parents have a quieter space to retreat to or an ideal place to work from home.

The home’s top floor comprises two bedrooms, with a catwalk separating the main suite from the secondary bedroom.

“The suite is a very special place, and it’s been beautifully designed for peace and comfort. It has a walk-in wardrobe, an oversized bedroom, an ensuite bathroom with views and a private balcony,” Michael says.

Large-scale entertaining in this home is an obvious option, given the amount of living areas. That’s without even mentioning the outdoor component of the home.

“The main deck looking out over the pool is really something special. As with the rest of the home, the views are extraordinary, and if that wasn’t enough, there’s another sitting area below the main deck,” Michael says.

“You can easily see yourself having drinks here on a Friday night, bringing your mates around to have a few and watch the sun go down,” Michael says.

Add to that a solar-heated pool and this property becomes an entertaining powerhouse, ideal for bringing around big crowds for Christmas or to cool off on a summer weekend.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with few neighbours, this property is ideal for a family that wants some peace, and its location next to a reserve means walking trails are right on your doorstep.

“You can get out the door and walk the Big Monks Summit; it’s a great way to clear your head,” Michael says.

The Banks shops are just down the road and there are plenty of schools just one suburb over in Conder and Lanyon.

“Lanyon shops have everything you could need: supermarkets, bakeries, takeaways, restaurants and cafes,” Michael says.

The property is also packed with the kind of features that one would expect of a property this size and quality.

Features like double glazing throughout, a double garage, a solar panel system, a ducted heating system, evaporative cooling and a workshop beneath the home make life that little bit easier.

Ideal as an entertainer, while also accommodating daily living, working from home, relaxation and everything in between, this home is just waiting for a family to use it to the fullest.
