Commanding an impressive presence across approximately 2.5 acres, 496 Boston Road presents a remarkable European-inspired estate where grand architecture, beautiful established grounds and an extraordinary resort-style lifestyle come together in one of Chandler's most tightly held acreage pockets.
The sense of arrival immediately sets the tone. Beyond striking wrought iron gates, a long tree-lined driveway leads through manicured grounds toward the residence, revealing an impressive façade framed by terracotta rooflines, mature landscaping and a circular arrival. Generous lawns, established trees and a picturesque dam complete a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the city beyond.
Built on a scale rarely encountered, the substantial two-storey residence has been created for families who value space, character and the ability to entertain. Warm timber joinery, Australian Blackbutt parquetry, a magnificent chandelier, arched architectural details and imported Italian finishes bring richness and individuality to the interiors.
The lower level forms the heart of the home, bringing together an exceptional collection of formal and informal spaces. Multiple lounge and dining areas are complemented by a billiard room, piano room, wet bar, breakfast nook and beautifully appointed executive office and library, allowing the home to transition naturally from everyday family living to entertaining on a grand scale.
At its centre, the solid timber kitchen delivers the proportions and functionality expected of a residence of this calibre, complete with commercial-grade stainless steel appointments and an impressive eight-burner Waldorf stove and oven.
Upstairs, the accommodation provides a more private retreat, headlined by an impressive master wing. Complete with its own fireplace, walk-through dressing room, ensuite with twin vanities and a private balcony overlooking the estate, it creates a wonderfully secluded sanctuary within the home.

What makes 496 Boston Road particularly special is the completeness of its offering.

It is substantial without losing its warmth, and impressive without compromising the sense of home.
Positioned within Brisbane's highly regarded inner-city acreage precinct, the property offers the space and atmosphere of a private country estate while remaining remarkably connected to the city, bayside and surrounding lifestyle amenities.
Grand in presence, rich in character and exceptional in scale, 496 Boston Road represents a rare opportunity to secure one of Chandler's distinctive acreage estates.
