Entering on the lower level, you will immediately note the high ceilings, abundance of natural light, and striking polished timber floorboards. Families of all ages and sizes will appreciate the multiple living areas; a formal living space with a functional fireplace is adjoined by a formal dining area, which continues into an expansive chef’s kitchen. No expense has been spared in the fitout; you will love the use of Gaggenau appliances, both gas and induction cooking, plus a choice of steam or convection oven. An abundance of soft-close cabinetry and a large butler’s pantry keeps unsightly items tucked away and contributes to the sleek, modern feel of this home.
The kitchen flows is adjoined by both an informal living area, and an alfresco dining area – regardless of the event, your home will be the ideal place to host. The living opens onto a verandah and the incredible river views – it is hard to believe you are just moments from all inner-city conveniences when you have your own riverfront oasis.
Returning inside and upstairs, the layout is ideal for growing families or those with older children seeking greater privacy. One end of the hallway is dedicated to the master suite with a soothing river outlook, walk-in wardrobe with dressing room, and an amazing ensuite with double vanity and dual showerheads. The second and third bedrooms would suit younger children or use as a nursery due to their proximity to the master bedroom. In the other wing at the front of the home, two queen-sized bedrooms are privately tucked away from the master and share access to a massive family bathroom with standalone bathtub, dual basins, and double showerheads. This flexible layout is ideal for accommodating children as they grow and require greater separation, while providing a true parent’s retreat.
The lower level is dedicated entirely to entertaining; a billiards room and kitchenette overlooks the sparkling in-ground pool. It is easy to imagine summer afternoons here; the kids play in the pool, while you fire up the BBQ before continuing a game of pool in the air-conditioned games room. A meandering path overlooked by native trees brings you to your private pontoon – this is your direct access to the Brisbane River where you can enjoy boating, kayaking, or fishing.
