There is a rare composure to 51 Stevens Street, Yeronga. A residence that feels less like a home and more like a private estate of enduring significance, framed by river light, architectural proportion and material integrity. Its presence is immediate, cinematic, and quietly assured.
Set across 7,326sqm of elevated riverfront land with an extraordinary 57 metres of Brisbane River frontage, this is one of the city's most substantial riverfront holdings within 5.5km of the CBD. With uninterrupted views across the water to the Indooroopilly Golf Course, the estate offers privacy, scale and a sense of permanence that is increasingly impossible to replicate.
Manicured lawns, formal gardens, established trees and water features unfold across the grounds, anchored by a northern courtyard and terraces that appear to hover above the river's edge.
The residence itself is an exercise in architectural theatre. A soaring gallery-style foyer, finished in Crema Marfil marble and crowned by a glass roof, sets a tone of understated grandeur. Formal and informal living and dining spaces extend across a single expansive level, opening seamlessly onto filled travertine terraces designed for long afternoons and riverfront entertaining.
At the centre, the kitchen pairs Calacatta marble surfaces with Sen Ash timber cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances, supported by a walk-in pantry and dedicated cold room. Every detail is deliberate, every finish enduring.
Five bedroom suites are appointed with marble ensuites and walk-in robes or dressing rooms, while a private suite of amenities includes a traditional sauna, spa and gymnasium. The lower level offers a self-contained au pair or guest studio, basement garaging for five to six vehicles, a wine cellar, a second marble foyer and extensive storage throughout.
Above, the hand-finished copper roof forms a defining architectural statement, its natural patina enriching the home's quiet sense of luxury. Designed not for spectacle, but for longevity, this is an estate of rare restraint and lasting relevance.
The residence has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation which included commercial grade flood mitigation technology to the lower levels for peace of mind.
