Set across a rare 1,100m² parcel with approximately 40 metres of direct Norman Creek frontage, this substantial residence, designed by Tim Stewart Architects, delivers a level of waterfront living that is both highly functional and deeply considered. Oriented to maximise aspect, airflow and connection to the water, the home unfolds across more than 600m² of built form, balancing family scale with resort-style entertaining.
Inside, the home opens immediately to volume and light. Voids, high ceilings and expansive glazing create a sense of scale, while full-height New Guinea Rosewood sliders retract completely, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out and capturing uninterrupted views across the elevated, level backyard.
The ground level is dedicated to living, entertaining and daily function, anchored by an expansive open plan living and dining domain that connects seamlessly to the alfresco. A central kitchen is appointed with V-ZUG and Miele appliances, a Liebherr side-by-side refrigeration system, integrated Zip HydroTap for instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water, and a fully equipped butler's pantry. A servery window links directly to the outdoor entertaining zone, reinforcing the home's capacity for large-scale hosting.
Multiple living zones provide flexibility, including a separate games room with adjoining deck, a library, a reading nook with bar, and a dedicated media room with Bowers & Wilkins surround sound. A Cheminees Chazelles fireplace anchors the main living area, creating warmth and atmosphere both internally and externally. The covered alfresco is substantial in scale, complete with a built-in BBQ connected to natural gas and multiple gas points for outdoor heating. This space comfortably accommodates large gatherings.
The outdoor environment is conceived as a seamless extension of the home, delivering a true waterfront lifestyle. A heated swimming pool with a timed water feature sits alongside an expansive entertaining deck overlooking the water, while a large, level lawn framed by established landscaping and automated irrigation, including a productive citrus garden, provides space for recreation. A private waterfront deck with fire pit creates a natural setting for evenings by the river. Direct water access is exceptional, supported by a fully equipped boating infrastructure including a 12-metre timber jetty with gangway, a 9m x 3.5m concrete dry berth pontoon with winch, power and water, and an additional 3m x 12m pontoon with integrated kayak storage.
The upper level is dedicated to accommodation, arranged to provide separation and functionality for family living. Five bedrooms are positioned along a linear plan, supported by multiple bathrooms and integrated storage. A dedicated office offers a work-from-home environment with water views, while a study zone provides additional flexibility. The master suite occupies a private waterfront position, complete with elevated ceilings, dressing room and ensuite, capturing the best aspect of the home. A sixth bedroom or media suite on the ground floor provides further flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
From arrival, the experience is defined by privacy and control. A remotely operated secure gate introduces a broad driveway, additional off-street parking and a four-car garage with internal access and integrated storage. A concealed service entry allows groceries to move directly from car to kitchen, reflecting the practical intent behind the design.
Beyond the physical attributes, the home offers a rare lifestyle proposition. Close to various schools, this phenomenal residence is also only a few minutes' walk or boat ride to the Anglican Church Grammar School and moments from Lourdes Hill College, Norman Park State School, St Thomas Camp Hill, Coorparoo Secondary College and St Peter and Paul's School. A private, retreat-like setting just 3 kilometres from the CBD, where mornings begin on the water, afternoons unfold on the lawn, and evenings are spent on the jetty at sunset. Kayaking, fishing, boating or entertaining, this is a property that supports all modes of living without compromise. Moreton Bay is within easy reach, with fishing grounds accessible in approximately 30 minutes, or a relaxed boat ride to the Brisbane Powerhouse for dining and markets.
