Situated on the banks of the Brisbane River in a prestigious Westlake enclave this magnificent riverfront home provides an oasis of tranquillity only minutes from shops of Mt Ommaney Centre, Jindalee Homebase and a short drive from Indooroopilly Shoppingtown.
Privacy, sophistication and relaxed living are the hallmarks of this magnificent house with its aesthetic appeal, functional layout and breathtaking river panoramas. Built in 2004 and set on a sprawling 1382sqm block, this sand-coloured rendered home has a commanding street presence while the block is enveloped in rendered concrete and metal fence and provides a gated entry with intercom to work in conjunction with a back-to-base security system. In the split-level front yard paved steps slice their way through landscaped gardens boasting beds of Chinese Jade plants and rhoeo grasses with a lone, corner gumtree provides a focal point opposite the adjacent double, lock-up garage.
A grandiose entry sporting two, tall wooden doors and recessed lighting boasts glass bricks artistically embedded in the rendered concrete to create an element of contemporary pizzazz. The residence itself is imbued with palatial proportions and ducted airconditioning having been divided into three floors of living spaces resulting in an ultra stylish dwelling to cater for families and executive couples with its spacious layout and plethora of quality inclusions such as state-of-the art appliances, a C-Bus system and Bose surround sound in all rooms, on entertaining terraces and in the pool area. A generously sized foyer on a middle level with a glass brick, wave-shaped feature wall which also backs on to the dining room, is floored with stunning Blue Gum timbers has double ceiling height above the entryway and dining arena. A hallway flanking one side of the foyer trails into an oversized and carpeted bedroom or office with built-in wardrobes overlooking the leafy front yard which sits beside a blue and white-coloured main bathroom with FM Mattson tap ware, heat lamp and large shower recess. Also on this side, a vast, split-level master bedroom comprises a lavish ensuite with twin basins, heat lamp and two-person shower and an enormous spa bath with wall cut-out above to provide river views while soaking in the tub. A sumptuous melding of latte-coloured Italian tiles and cream cabinetry perfect this stunning ensuite. Sitting adjacent to the ensuite, an impressive, carpeted master bedroom boasts a textured feature wall, banks of built-in wardrobes and sliding glass doors to a tiled entertainment terrace that could easily accommodate a crowd.
A dining room on this middle floor has a wall separating it from the kitchen and overlooks the spacious lounge room from a higher split level and sits beneath a double ceiling height void. The gourmet kitchen, also with Blue Gum polished floorings, espouses quality and convenience with its wraparound Cashmere Gold granite bench tops, two-pack cabinetry, island bench and state-of-the art Kleenmaid stainless steel appliances and built-in coffee machine while the induction cooktop is backed by a khaki-coloured glass splashback echoing bushland hues. A living room capturing cooling river breezes is adorned with polished Blue Gum floorings that blur the distinction between in and out with a set of large, tinted sliding glass doors and flyscreens opening to sheltered second level entertaining terrace overlooking the pool, yard and river. A laundry, additional storage and internal access to the garage can also be found on this level. A carpeted timber and marine ply stairwell from the foyer climbs up to the home’s uppermost level and opens to a casual living room peering out over the foyer and dining room. On the river side of the home this living space connects to an expansive media room with built-in surround sound and a bar area with built-in timber and stainless steel bar kitted out with a sink, glasses trays and wall shelves for drinks display. An additional al fresco entertaining zone enjoying elevated views of the Brisbane River flows out from the bar and media area to provide an alternative entertaining or relaxation arena. Another bathroom and two sizeable, carpeted bedrooms with ceiling fans, ducted airconditioning and built-in wardrobes are also clustered on this floor.
At the back, the property and the home’s ground floor are spread across two tiers. On the first sits a rumpus room and bathroom which flows out to a huge, paved pool area with a 20-metre saltwater pool and heated spa surrounded by a water feature and Balinese-style gazebo. On the last tier, the spacious yard is dotted with prolific native plantings and includes a 5200-litre water tank and private pontoon well-suited to avid water sports enthusiasts.
