A Modern Masterstroke: A Home That Raises the Bar for Design, Liveability and Legacy
Set high on 810m² with commanding, uninterrupted views over the Brisbane River to the Gateway and Hamilton Hill, this extraordinary residence is not simply a home — it is a statement of design integrity, architectural ambition and enduring craftsmanship. Behind its beautifully restored Queenslander façade lies a bold, architectural extension designed for modern family living, entertaining on every scale, and effortless day-to-day comfort. Just as the traditional Queenslander stands as a cultural symbol of resilience and adaptability, this residence pays homage to its heritage while boldly stepping into the future. From the fully restored pre-war façade to the dramatic, light-filled extension, the home has been reimagined without compromise — a seamless union of character, modernism and functionality. Custom-designed and meticulously constructed, the home spans over 545m² of internal space and is defined by its bold materiality and purposeful detailing. Commercial-grade gas-filled double-glazing wraps the rear, creating a constant dialogue between interior living spaces and the breathtaking natural outlook. Finished in low-maintenance aluminium cladding — selected for its permanence and practicality — the elevated rear extension stands as a sculptural element within the landscape. Inside, every inclusion reflects restraint and quality. Polished concrete floors ground the space in durability and sophistication, while a 300x50 brick fireplace anchors the living zone, running double-height through the centre of the home like a spine. From the moment you enter, it’s clear this is a home designed to be lived in and loved. Every space has been crafted with purpose — from the family-sized kitchen with Calcutta stone and Miele appliances to the vast open-plan living zones anchored by a soaring double-height brick fireplace. This is a home that brings people together. Long summer afternoons stretch into evenings by the pool. Weekend barbecues unfold around the teppanyaki grill. Morning light filters through the eastern-facing sunroom as the river glistens beyond. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying quiet family time, the setting and layout make it all feel effortless. The experience extends throughout the extension, clad in low-maintenance aluminium and fitted with commercial-grade glazing, offers peace of mind as well as style — designed to stand up to the elements and never require repainting. The polished concrete floors, custom timber finishes and designer lighting add warmth and sophistication, while smart home technology, solar power, EV charging, and fully zoned ducted air-conditioning ensure everyday life runs smoothly. Outdoors, a mineral-heated pool, curved concrete fire pit, and professional-grade outdoor kitchen with Miele Teppanyaki and induction cooktops allow the home to shift effortlessly from quiet moments to large-scale hosting. Landscape architect-designed gardens surround the property, complete with irrigation, lighting, and integrated storage. Beyond aesthetics, this home has been built with performance in mind: • Solar power and 3-phase electricity • 3-phase EV charging in the carport • Smart lighting and home automation • Independent ducted air-conditioning to both original and new zones • “Big Ass Fans” throughout • CCTV and intercom security systems • Oversized shed and utility spaces Positioned within a quiet, tightly held riverside enclave, the property also benefits from a rare visual certainty — views that will remain uninterrupted by the Bulimba Barracks redevelopment. This is not a home for the average buyer. It is a residence for those who recognise enduring value: in form, in future-proofed design, and in the thoughtful marriage of character and contemporary craftsmanship. Here, strength and softness co-exist. History is honoured — and the future, fully embraced. This is not just a home. It’s a lifestyle without compromise. For those who demand more — this is the benchmark. Disclaimer This property is being sold by auction or without a price and therefore a price guide cannot be provided.
