Gain a foothold in the exclusive riverfront market with this well-presented, split level home situated atop a generous 1343m2 of south-east facing, entirely flood free land in desirable Fig Tree Pocket. With nothing but a strip of parkland separating it from the river, the property is able to enjoy tranquil views from all living areas as well as the pool and massive entertainer’s balcony. Furthermore, its timeless design and sturdy brick construction means a great family home now, as well as a solid basis for updating and adding value in the future.
The uppermost level is all about daily living with the open plan lounge and dining area and tidy kitchen flowing freely onto a sprawling paved balcony. This whole space can enjoy views across the pool to the river beyond with the addition of high cathedral ceilings and cloistery windows able to add a sense of light and space. Four of the home’s five bedrooms are located nearby. While the master suite has its own updated ensuite and plentiful storage, the other three rooms share the family bathroom.
Downstairs has a spacious guest suite with an ensuite that can double as a powder room when entertaining. The level also offers great versatility with a massive open plan rumpus able to be split into several separate living areas or used as one large space. This makes it particularly conducive to large-scale entertaining, especially taking into account the hard wearing terracotta floors, poolside views and ability to be opened right out thanks to no less than five sets of glass doors. The property’s 1343m2 is fully usable and slopes gently down towards the water. There is garaging for two vehicles and a newly bitumened drive which is flanked by low maintenance gardens.
Located in highly desirable Fig Tree Pocket, the home is close to schools, shops and eateries with easy access to the CBD. It is also surrounded by some of the finest prestige residences Brisbane has to offer, ensuring this property will always be in good company.
