“Catalina” has become one of Brisbane’s most iconic and sought after waterfront addresses.
If there is a street in Brisbane synonomous with prestige and position and a development which has left a national legacy as clever urban renewal, it is without question, Macquarie Street’s Catalina.
House 53, showcased nationally as the benchmark for Catalina’s UDIA national award winning design and quality, is now being offered to the market, for the first time since this transformational riverfront development was formed a decade ago.
Quite possibly one of the largest river homes in this exclusive precinct, 53 Macquarie Street is bespoke in its grand execution, spanning three luxurious levels, featuring a private pedestrian entrance, opening to a dedicated foyer, adjoining what is possibly one of the most substantial and unique internal courtyards in the entire development.
The entrance level connects intimately with the Brisbane River, beautifully positioned to suspend harmoniously at eye level to the water, where the series of substantial indoor and outdoor living rooms flow to provide an abundance of space, while also allowing natural cross ventilation of the river breezes.
Centrally positioned, the courtyard, provides a flood of natural light and ventilation to the deepest part of the home, cleverly divided on the upper level into two separate living wings, accommodating the four bedrooms.
The master ensuite is simply exquisite, with the freestanding bath poised symmetrically between his and hers vanities, privately positioned to peacefully absorb the postcard framed river views.
The master also enjoys an enormous walk in robe and is adjoined by a second en-suited bedroom.
Accessed by seperate stairs a second wing on the upper level has two further bedrooms which magically capture the historical woolstore backdrop and are also serviced by a shared bathroom.
The lower is discretly dedicated to a soothing relaxation zone to simply enjoy the gentle lapping of the river or for entertainers, easily accomodate more than 100 guests for poolside parties. A kitchenette is thoughtfully included on this level, as well as a fourth full bathroom, enormous laundry, seperate study and storage room, ideal as a cellar.
Once the site of derelict wharves, Catalina has emerged as one of Queensland’s most celebrated riverfront addresses, a landmark collection of individual freehold homes of unparalleled style and luxury.
Timeless in its execution, number 53 enjoys the highest standards and attention to detail remain evident in the fixtures, finishes and inclusions, paired with the design, quality and workmanship.
Awarded the coveted UDIA National Award for Excellence, Catalina has consistently enjoyed significant capital growth as the marketplace has continued to command a premium for prime position in Brisbane’s landmark address.
Bound by the river on one side and the Woolstores on the other, the river inspiration, merging fluidly with the strong rhythm of the Woolstores as their historic backdrop, completes the 53 Macquarie Streetscape.
Quite simply, this is one of the most desirable residences available in this exclusive riverfront enclave.
