Homes of this magnitude is rarely given such an extraordinary piece of riverfront land. Established greenery envelops the substantial corner allotment, creating a private setting for a residence grand in proportion yet remarkably restrained in presence. Weatherboard detailing, multi-pane windows, white balustrading and brickwork establish its character, before the house opens at the rear to the Brisbane River. Spanning 2,139sqm with approximately 30 metres of river frontage, the estate brings together more than 1,100sqm of living, expansive gardens, swimming pool and tennis court.
Beyond its private street frontage, the experience is defined by volume. Tall ceilings and long internal sightlines draw through to the main living and dining space, where timber floors, exposed brick, a fireplace, crafted joinery and intricate ceiling treatments bring texture and warmth. Breakaway living areas, a games room and office spaces are distributed throughout the floor plan, allowing the house to accommodate large gatherings as readily as private retreat. Broad openings across the rear extend onto a vast covered terrace beneath a coffered ceiling, with the grounds and river forming its outlook.
Designed with entertaining at its core, the kitchen brings together marble and stone surfaces, bespoke cabinetry, an expansive central island and an impressive suite of appliances. A separate scullery, pantry and cold room provide substantial supporting space, while a wide servery opens directly to the terrace.
Beyond, architecture gives way to landscape. Manicured lawns and mature planting frame the swimming pool, tennis court and river's edge, while pergolas and additional outdoor settings are woven through the grounds. Despite the breadth of the property, established greenery brings privacy and intimacy to its recreational spaces.
An impressive staircase rises through the central void to five bedrooms on the upper level. The main suite incorporates a substantial walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with freestanding bath, while four additional bedrooms occupy their own wing, each with a walk-in wardrobe and one with a private ensuite. A sixth bedroom and bathroom on the main level provide flexibility for guests.
The lower level adds considerable depth to the home, with garaging for up to eight vehicles alongside a cellar, bathroom, extensive storage and undercroft. A comprehensive laundry, ducted air-conditioning, extensive custom joinery and quality fixtures and finishes further reflect the level of consideration carried throughout.
For all its privacy, the home is closely connected to the lifestyle of Brisbane's inner west. Chelmer's village cafés and train station are nearby, with Graceville's dining and shopping precincts, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and some of Brisbane's leading schools readily accessible.
