Presiding over one of Brisbane’s premiere riverside positions, this absolute waterfront penthouse captures dramatic uninterrupted views sweeping across the river to Bulimba and north to Hamilton Reach.
Featuring generous indoor living areas and a wide wrap-around balcony spanning the length of the apartment, it is truly the pinnacle of riverfront living.
From this unsurpassable position, you can sit back and watch sailing boats bobbing on the river by day and sparkling lights shimmering in the dark water by night.
Contemporary architecture blended with timeless style
Fusing contemporary architecture with timeless style, the penthouse is freshly refurbished. Stunning 500 square white marble floor tiles adorn the main thoroughfares, kitchen, family and dining rooms; the walls and ceiling are freshly painted in crisp white; and plush coffee-coloured wool carpet with a cream border adds warmth to the formal lounge and master bedroom suite.
Unlike some older apartments, the versatile lay-out of the penthouse offers communal and discrete living areas, equally suited to the needs of small families who need their own spaces, big entertainers or couples who enjoy the company of visitors frequently.
The home incorporates three double bedrooms – one with its own study alcove, office, two bathrooms, separate laundry, formal lounge, family/meals room and dining/entertainment room.
Entertainers will appreciate the many options the wide balcony offers, with broad spaces for large parties and tranquil nooks for intimate gatherings, as well as the dining room, which opens out to the balcony through bi-fold doors – seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Where luxury meets livability
All the luxuries you would expect of such a location and esteemed complex are available in the penthouse – master bedroom with private spa bath, fully lined coffee marble bathrooms, stunning light fixtures and a gourmet kitchen just begging to be used to prepare sumptuous feasts.
Located adjacent to a large meals area and with access to the balcony via a wide servery, the kitchen is supremely practical – featuring hard-wearing stainless steel Miele appliances, built-in Delonghi espresso machine and long breakfast bar – while also exquisitely finished with white Corian bench tops and glossy white cabinetry.
Even the bedrooms provide spaces for living: the master retreat has a gorgeous spa bath, separate toilet and spacious walk-in-robe; the second bedroom has its own study alcove; and the third bedroom opens out to a small private balcony. While a separate room with built-in cupboards and bookcase creates a private, quiet area for a home office or even a business run from home.
Moving to an apartment needn’t mean literally downsizing either, with a three car garage and ample storage space. There are also large banks of built-in cupboards along the length of the private corridor from which the bedrooms are accessible.
And, because of its separation from entertaining areas, the separate balcony off the third bedroom could also be used as a private drying court or convenient storage alcove for bikes and other large items.
As the finishing touch, the apartment is cool in summer and warm in winter thanks to reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, and is wired for the ultimate in media entertainment pleasure with Control 4 home automation, controlling all three TV screens and an audio system, featuring built-in speakers throughout the home.
Positioned for leisure and pleasure
Located within the prestigious and private Mariners Reach residential complex at Newstead, the penthouse apartment surveys one of the Brisbane’s River’s most picturesque vantage points. This landmark residential development is minutes from the heart of Brisbane’s CBD and airport.
The complex comprises 171 apartments in four separate, low to medium rise buildings, each with a distinctly different identity. Superb architecture complements over three and a half acres of landscaped, sub-tropical gardens and maximises the panoramic river views.
A riverside boardwalk adjoining immaculate lawns, elegant gazebos, barbeques, three heated swimming pools, two spas, sauna, fully equipped gymnasium and community centre provides residents with the perfect environment for exercise and recreation.
Of course, this prestigious location means that within minutes you can experience any one of the many Teneriffe, New Farm and Fortitude Valley elite dining and shopping experiences, be sitting at your desk in the CBD, or arrive unflustered at either the Brisbane international or domestic airport terminals to catch your plane.
When an opportunity such as this presents itself – and at a time when the market is wide open to buyers – it would be foolhardy not to at least explore the possibility that you could enjoy the pinnacle of riverfront living.
