From the verandah of 'The Priory House', the river fills the view. It bends below the house, sweeping past the Walter Taylor Bridge towards the treetops of Chelmer. There's a feeling of floating above the water as the tide turns and boats trace their way along the reach. In the morning, sunlight spreads across the river and breezes billow inside. By evening, the last colour gives way to the lights of the bridge, and it's easy to stay outside a little longer.
Built c.1890 and reimagined by Pitman Properties, the residence occupies 1,207sqm at the end of a peaceful Indooroopilly cul-de-sac. Its character frontage gives little away of the panorama that opens beyond. Inside, traditional fireplaces, decorative wallpaper, arched halls, and breezeways carry the house's history through rooms with ornate 3.6-metre plaster and pressed-metal ceilings. The architecture opens out as you move towards the water, where the outlook stretches across the full width of the home.
Living and dining unfold around a kitchen appointed with Gaggenau, PITT and Liebherr appliances, then spill onto the wraparound verandah. Take your first coffee outside while the water is still quiet, or bring guests out for a drink as the sun drops. The elevated heated magnesium pool and spa offer another vantage point over the reach, with lawns for children to play and a firepit where conversations can carry on after dinner.
Four bedrooms and four bathrooms serve the main house, including three ensuites. In the primary retreat, the river and green canopy set the scene for slow mornings. A separate coach house offers self-contained one-bedroom accommodation with a kitchen and loft, giving visiting family and friends a space of their own. Two garages accommodate four cars, with two storage rooms offering scope for a wine cellar and workshop.
In a serene setting that feels removed from the bustle, follow the tree-lined paths from this quiet cul-de-sac to the Riverwalk and Walter Taylor Bridge, or stroll 450m to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, all with the city just 8km away.
