As the light fades over the landscape, shadows lengthen across the lawns, and Brisbane's skyline begins to glow beyond the trees. Standing proudly across a private, elevated 5,497sqm holding, 'Glentworth' is a landmark heritage residence of a scale, history, and prestige seldom found so close to the city centre. Hidden behind a lush, mature canopy with dual approaches from both Howard and Thomas Streets, this magnificent six-bedroom estate offers absolute seclusion, absolute privacy, and hidden luxury.
Masterfully brought into its next chapter by renowned architect Dion Seminara, the home seamlessly pairs grand colonial heritage with cutting-edge design. A striking gallery walkway connects the original historic rooms to a breathtaking modern extension, capturing natural cross-breezes and framing panoramic views of the city.
From the grand living room with its soaring 5-metre domed ceiling to the intimate formal lounge, every space is beautifully designed to host memorable gatherings. The culinary heart of the home is a world-class chef's kitchen featuring an elite suite of Gaggenau and Wolf appliances, masterfully serving these spaces and lifestyle celebrations that spill effortlessly onto the awaiting wide verandas.
Below, a dedicated entertainment zone comes to life. The home theatre, entertainer's bar, and billiard room create multiple entertaining possibilities leading out to an expansive, private outdoor terrace. Downstairs, an authentic bank vault door opens to reveal a climate-controlled wine cellar and a tasting room where guests can linger over exceptional bottles while choosing a vintage for the evening ahead.
Outside, the manicured grounds establish a resort-style rhythm of their own. Spend long afternoons between the championship north-south tennis court, swimming pool, spa, and Indonesian-inspired pavilion, or wander through lawns adorned with striking sculptures by David Mackay Harrison before evenings by the firepit. Complete with a multi-purpose recreation level featuring a dedicated car showroom, private gym, and a relaxing sauna, 'Glentworth' stands as one of Brisbane's most significant, flexible, and rare residential offerings.
