Elegant and stylish, this classically proportioned modern residence was the HIA Queensland Home of the Year . Extending over 4 levels, this home is architecturally streamlined and immaculately finished. The sense of space and light is evident in the grand entry with soaring 6.5m ceilings, the graceful lines of the spiral staircase and the generously proportioned rooms. Spectacular views dominate the living areas, which flow to a large, comfortable covered verandah with built-in stainless steel BBQ for dining al fresco in the glow of city lights. The kitchen features stone Italiania benchtops, Miele appliances and a walk-in butler’s pantry. Cupboards are easy to reach in the no-clutter kitchen and the central bench with pull-up chairs is ideal for a quick snack or a chat with the cook. The marble floors and remote slide blinds in the family room are another touch of luxury.

The huge home theatre will accommodate a crowd in comfort, while the open plan study on the top level adjoins the living area. Of the 3 generous bedrooms, the master suite is truly special. Large double doors open to a balcony and views at treetop level. It has a Hollywood-style, marble-tiled ensuite with twin vanities and a decadent spa, and a large walk-in robe. There is a second marble-lined bathroom and 2 powder rooms. The rooftop entertaining area captures your own slice of the sky and uninterrupted views, framed by the Story Bridge. This area is serviced by a built-in BBQ, sink, phone and dumb waiter that rises from the garage. Ducted air-conditioning, back-to-base security, a refrigerated 2000 bottle wine cellar and a 3-car lock up garage are included. Backing onto acres of parkland in a commanding position on top of Teneriffe Hill, this stately home forms part of Newstead’s glamorous resurgence, as inner-suburban homes with fabulous views become increasingly desirable and harder to find. With a landscaped backyard, fully tiled pool with spa seat and easy access to all amenities, this property offers a sophisticated, low-maintenance lifestyle for discerning buyers.
