Situated on a rare and sprawling 1920m2 of elevated, North-East facing land in the prestigious St Lucia Avenues, this remarkable home is a triumphant collaboration of contemporary Queensland architecture and outstanding craftsmanship.
Entry to the home is via impressive, antique Chinese temple doors. They open to reveal a stunning foyer which is flooded with natural light and showcases botticino marble tiles with a tranquil under floor water feature.
It is immediately evident that only the highest quality materials, fixtures and finishes have been included throughout the home.
With a seamless flow from inside to out, the home has been masterfully designed to maximize the North-East orientation and take full advantage of the city views, Queensland climate and lifestyle.
Open plan in design, there are three distinct living zones on this ground level. Each zone opens through oversized, timber- framed glass doors to the resort style pool and multiple alfresco entertaining areas. Rich New Guinea Rosewood and Spotted Gum timbers are used throughout the home.
The generous formal room features polished timber floors, stone finished fireplace and ceiling with decorative timber paneling. The entire room opens to a wide, poolside deck and pavilion which enjoy beautiful breezes and city views.
The dining room is spacious enough to host the largest of dinner parties and opens to the outdoor dining terrace. The built-in BBQ facilities are also located on this terrace, providing choice for cooking and dining either inside or out; formal or relaxed.
Adjoining the dining room is the family room. Both rooms share soaring raked ceilings with exposed New Guinea Rosewood timber beams. The family room is ideal for casual living and entertaining. It offers plenty of space for the pool table and opens to yet another poolside deck so party guests may flow freely from indoors to out.
The gourmet kitchen is central to the living zones and showcases sleek, dark timber cabinetry and Carrara marble bench tops. It incorporates a full complement of Gaggenau appliances including oven, gas cooktop, microwave, steam oven, teppanyaki plate, 2 dishwashers and integrated coffee machine. Three integrated Leibherr wine fridges are included, with capacity for approximately 520 bottles.
The fully equipped laundry, with extensive storage, is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen and has direct access to the big back yard.
One of the most stunning attributes of the property is the separate pool house. Positioned at the edge of the pool, it opens on three sides via huge bi-fold doors. Currently utilized as a distinctive home office, it offers yet another option for year-round poolside entertainment.
A separate wing is reserved for the guest quarters and includes a very generous bedroom with views of the garden. It is serviced by a beautiful bathroom with floor to ceiling botticino marble and glass mosaic feature tiles. A steam room is contained within the guest bathroom and is conveniently located across from the fully equipped home gym. The gym has direct access to the pool for a post-workout swim.
A very large study/ office is located to the rear of the home and offers work stations to accommodate up to 4 people.
A luxurious guest powder room completes the facilities on this level.
The upper level is dedicated to the sleeping quarters and is accessed via a wide, light filled stair case.
The master suite is of grand proportions and features the same soaring, raked ceilings. It opens to a private terrace which enjoys the north-east aspect and stunning city views.
Evoking the impression of a day spa, the lavish ensuite is entered via double doors. The generous shower recess is designed for two and is finished with beautiful mosaic tiles. There is a large spa bath for soaking and the twin vanity is finished with Carrara marble. A toilet is separate. A substantial walk-in-robe with bespoke cabinetry completes the master suite.
Three additional bedrooms are located on the upper level; each with expansive wardrobes. They are separated from the master suite by a library area. All three bedrooms are very large and each enjoys a beautiful view of the garden and surrounding trees. They are serviced by an opulent family bathroom with a luxurious, fully tiled, sunken bath. There is a separate shower, dual vanity finished with polished re-constituted stone and a separate toilet.
While the attention to detail in the design and construction of this contemporary masterpiece has ensured every conceivable luxury and state-of the- art technology has been appointed, ultimately the ambiance of the home reflects the warmth, flow and understated elegance of the iconic Queenslander.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to secure a dream home and the ultimate Queensland lifestyle.
