A masterpiece of contemporary architecture, this innovative, bold and exceptionally luxurious property really does have it all, with an enviable location, superlative absolute river views, pontoon and pool, forming the most glamorous backdrop to the utterly breathtaking residence.

In what really is a showcase of uncompromising luxury and innovative design, the three level residence utilises soaring walls of glass, truly majestic proportions and water as an intrinsic design element to complement and enhance the connection to the river. Furthermore, a high-concept design delivers the ultimate in entertaining and absolutely the last word in prestigious riverfront living. Even from the entry all these individual factors are apparent with a massive glass door – a veritable artwork in its own right, allowing for almost unobstructed views straight through the house to the flowing river beyond.

This entry level is very much the central focal-point of the home with a gorgeous living room complete with gas fireplace and 6m atrium-style ceilings, a casual dining area and expansive covered balcony with spa that looks out over the pool to the river beyond. Then of course, for more intimate affairs there is the unforgettable dining room. Visually separated from the rest of the home via a tranquil internal pool, it is accessed by a single broad stepping-stone, creating a truly memorable dining experience.

The kitchen is another great feature here, with capacious timber cabinetry and stainless steel Miele appliances (including two ovens and in-wall coffee machine) providing an elegant highlight to the neutral stone bench tops. With an integral bar and butler’s pantry, it is more than capable of catering for the grandest of events. However when truly fabulous entertaining is called for, it is simply a matter of taking the lift to the ground floor where a private gym, dedicated media room, billiards room and second bar (with double Vintec wine fridges) awaits. This expansive entertainment zone then flows effortlessly out to the full-sized pool, immaculate gardens, covered alfresco area, pontoon and finally the river beyond. In short, this level boasts all the leisure amenities needed to fully enjoy the outstanding lifestyle on offer.

The upper floor is for more solitary pursuits with a private library, three spacious bedrooms (including an immense guest suite) and an additional study or nursery adjoining the master bedroom. This incredible suite offers a fully-fitted walk-in robe large enough to comfortably accommodate a 1.2m x 2.2m island bench and a truly sumptuous ensuite where one can enjoy a relaxing soak while experiencing the sheer beauty of the river as it flows by below. Needless to say, these views can be enjoyed from any vantage point within the room with the 180 degree panorama captured and framed with great care. There is a further fifth bedroom (with ensuite) on the ground floor which would be ideal for guests or as a teenage retreat.

Yet another factor that really sets this home apart is the incredible level of fittings and detail, from the natural river stone feature wall that rises some 6m above the living room, to the New Guinea Rosewood stair treads that have been polished to the same level used on a grand piano. And as is only fitting for a home of this calibre, it comes complete with every conceivable technology.

In ordinary circumstances, this would be a property sold on the strength of its outstanding 916sqm block, enviable location and superlative river views. However the architectural prowess of this residence surpasses even these attributes. Not that they are wasted though, for the inspired design takes into account all these outstanding qualities, showcasing them to their best advantage and in turn enhancing the residence to its fullest potential.

Proudly developed by sixteen-time HIA Award winner TAK Group, this bespoke home will undoubtedly be as highly desired as TAK’s other creations – as much for its design aesthetics as for its intrinsic future value as one of the most identifiable and coveted landmarks along the Brisbane River.
