FIG TREE POCKET RIVERFRONT RESORT ON 3/4 OF AN ACRE
A stunning combination of light and space, this amply proportioned residence extends over 4 levels and offers a resort lifestyle by the Brisbane River. From the moment you step over the feature bridge and through double entry doors, you appreciate the architectural flair and style which are hallmarks of this 21st century home. Stairways double as suspended sculptures, linking interior spaces and providing long sight lines that flow from living areas to outdoor entertaining spaces and the river beyond.

Use of bi-fold doors in the main living spaces family area, rumpus and library enhance the feeling that rooms are viewing platforms for the world outside. All main living areas and bedrooms have gleaming timber floors, and wood is also used for the plantation shutters and window seats. Cedar is featured in doors, windows and panels, and recycled wood is given new life in built-in cupboards in the family area and kitchen and again in the 3 bedrooms on the top floor.

The easy-access kitchen has a granite work surface, large pantry, Smeg dishwasher, Neff oven and induction hob. Other specialist activity zones include the acoustically rated music room, the library opening to the rumpus room, gym with direct access to the garden, 2 home offices with 3 phone lines and network cabling and the comfortable media room with built-in storage, while the large built-in laundry with access to the drying area and garage has the luxury of its own river outlook.

The large master suite, cooled by river breezes, has its own walk in robe, sitting area and views to the river. The fully tiled ensuite, with twin vanities and large shower, is dominated by a splendid, stand-alone tub for serious soaking. In addition to bathrooms servicing the bedrooms, there is a separate toilet at the rumpus level and the guest suite has its own shower and toilet. The expansive design makes this home an entertainer’s dream. Two levels of large covered verandahs overlook the pool and river, with an outdoor fireplace combating the chill on cooler nights. There are additional verandahs off the bedrooms and room for a cheer squad in the gazebo to cheer on your efforts in the 12m heated pool with waterfall, or on the north-south floodlit tennis court.

As you would expect, the finish throughout is of the highest quality. All main living areas are air-conditioned and bedrooms have individual units. The remote entry gate, double remote garage and solid fence provide secure, private entry. A sound system, security, intercom and vacumaid are built in.
