The lifestyle here, you will find, is luxurious and comfortable, hearty and generous.

What began as a traditional c. 1936 home tucked in behind a hand laid porphyry stone wall, the owners’ vision and commitment to perfection has transformed a timeless classic into a contemporary of grand proportions, melding with and remaining truthful to the home’s origins. Beautifully rich NSW Spotted Gum timbers, marble and limestone, VJ linings, soaring ceiling heights and welcoming, softly illuminated highlights are all featured accents that are carried intentionally throughout the residence to connect, respect and add interest.

Step through a gallery wide entranceway and into the heart of this truly special home.

Dramatic, grounded and rich with light, warmth and texture, the central living area provides a focal point for families to gather and talk, enjoy food together and relax completely in each other’s company. A room of extraordinary volume, the raked ceiling reaches an astonishing 7.5 metres at its highest point, each rafter lit gently across its eastern face.

Crafted by an accomplished stonemason, a dual-sided, hand-chiselled limestone surround frames the gas fireplace and stretches the full height of this spectacular space. Glass has been used extensively, allowing an abundance of natural light to brighten, and cross ventilation to efficiently cool, with versatile louvres, large, fixed panes and bifold doors opening to the outdoor and pool areas.

Whether inside or out, the sweeping aspect will capture your attention.

Alongside the 15 metre Naked freshwater inground pool, brilliant white poolside pavilion and granite finished entertainer’s terrace with 4.3 metre roofline high above, lush level lawns and locally sourced sub-tropical landscape plantings sit in harmony with the surroundings and offer total privacy. Cascading waterfalls from a limestone wall and aerated water features relax, and the copper sanitising filtration delivers clean, clear water that is non-irritating to skin and eyes.

Planning, meal prepping and delivering the family favourites to the table will be a delight and entertaining will be a pleasure in this high-end kitchen and adjoining fully featured butler’s pantry with room for two 170 bottle Vintec wine fridges. With its contrasting light Cala Grigio and black stone surfaces, cantilevered, 65mm thick breadboard timber dining table, Arg window splashback and non-fingerprint forming Tesrol cabinets with Blum gentle touch opening and soft close, the attention to detail shown has been unwavering.

Swiss made V-ZUG Combair steam and pyrolytic ovens, PITT integrated gas hobs set within a 900mm deep benchtop, class leading Falmec rangehood extraction, two Miele dishwashers plus two fully integrated Miele fridges and a Liebherr plumbed freezer confirm this kitchen’s statement of excellence.

Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and one has a private ensuite. A separate bathroom with bath adjoins the rumpus area. All have undertaken a contemporary redesign that has incorporated high quality fixtures, tapware in either brushed brass or gunmetal, on trend tiles and colourways that highlight and deliver a continuity of the intended theme.

Appearing throughout the residence, these complementary styles deliver a soft contrast to define and individualise. At all times, the emphasis has been on collaborating with and sourcing innovative Brisbane and Australian made products to support local industry.
