A landscaped and very private subdividable riverfront 2929m2 block in one of Indooroopilly’s most acclaimed prestige streets provides the ultimate platform for this expansive, executive-style home that also incorporates a tennis court and pontoon.
Positioned high above the river, exceptional views are also an integral component of the listing, with the picturesque 180 degree panorama encompassing two vast reaches of water. It is this vista that proved the main inspiration for Guymer Bailey Architects, who created the grand residence and its resplendent combination of traditional styling and modern liveability. This is apparent from the outset, with the impressive foyer combining soaring atrium-level ceilings with polished Brush Box staircase and timber floor that has been inlaid with both Spotted Gum and Crow’s Ash.
The formal living and dining room has been positioned prominently nearby, with the South-facing river views on full display. The adjacent riverfront deck and enviable cellar (complete with tasting table and air-conditioning) can also be directly accessed, making entertaining here so effortlessly enjoyable. As a more casual alternative, two covered balconies flank the everyday living area, bringing views of both the flood-lit North-South oriented tennis court and river into this one welcoming space. The highly-specified kitchen with its 900mm Ilve oven and gas hotplates, granite benchtops and custom cabinetry features prominently, as does the wood-burning fireplace in the adjoining family room. Within the two level design, five large built-in bedrooms have been positioned throughout, with four on the upper level and a guest room on the ground floor. There are also three bathrooms and a separate study, air-conditioning, security, an intercom system, parking for four vehicles and extensive storage options throughout.
Outside, the established gardens have an irrigation system and water tanks and include classic features such as a pond with water feature and terraced landscaping down to the 8m pontoon. Located within easy walking distance of Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, cinemas, restaurants and public transport, the property offers great access to all amenities, with St Peter’s Lutheran College, the University of Queensland and the CBD also easily reached.
Set far back from the quiet, tree-lined street with electric gates, the property promotes the feeling of an exclusive estate which is enhanced by the list of quality amenities and picturesque view that are both so proudly on show.
