It’s hard to believe this magnificent hideaway is still considered part of Brisbane, as you’ll feel like you’re a million miles away with soothing rainforest surroundings and varied native birdcalls. Two A-frame roofs shoulder the impressive entryway, leading you into the stunning foyer with tea room. Lofty ceilings with large beams and opulent wooden fixtures envelope you with a sense of comfort and luxury, rather evoking the feeling of being in a European winter holiday home. Storage abounds throughout the home, along with art enclaves and plenty of natural light creating a warm glow through its entirety. Masterfully separated from the rest of the house, the bedroom wing includes the lavish master suite, complete with en-suite, walk-in wardrobe and a private deck incorporating sensational views. A charming attic or loft bedroom is on the upper-most mezzanine of the home, large enough to include a play area perfect for children, built-in wardrobes and a balcony. The living level also comprises a large lounge and dining area leading to the extravagant gourmet kitchen, complete with 30cm-depth smooth granite island bench, Miele appliances, rangehood and plenty of storage. Enjoy the seamless flow of indoor to outdoor entertaining from the kitchen to the expansive deck, and wow dinner guests with breathtaking views through treetops into the valleys below and through to Mount Coot-tha.
From here, both the lagoon-style swimming pool and various manicured pathways can be reached, with eventual access to the private tennis court surrounded by beautiful bushland. The lower level of the home has been beautifully renovated and reflects a modern, cool palette which blends beautifully with the rest of the house. A large living area combined with a bar and entertaining area lead to a fifth bedroom, all with access to the covered patio. Well-appointed touches such as a library, sauna and wine cellar complete this level, adding to the European flair and style of the home. At the end of the hallway is a four car lockup garage and adjoining bathroom and storage area, plus ample further off-street parking space beside three huge rainwater tanks. All this is shielded from the road by a varied garden, adding privacy and security.
