Inviting you to secure an incredibly rare address in East Brisbane's premier street, this five-bedroom sanctuary built by John Speare and designed by architects Marc & Co offers an exclusive 495sqm of prime riverfront land, with a low-maintenance residence over 900sqm. Boasting a northern aspect that commands panoramic views of both stretches of the Brisbane River and the city, this four-level prestige home with a pontoon, swimming pool, a wine cellar and a private gym is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. Welcome to what is simply one of the finest landmark homes in the inner east of Brisbane.

Looking out across the river to the dazzling city skyline and tree-dotted New Farm, the property is made wonderfully private by its corner position. Bordered by only one neighbour and appearing as if carved into the landscape, the residence complements its breathtaking setting with a strikingly modern facade and flourishing gardens. Sleek and sophisticated, the home's interiors showcase polished Blackbutt timber floors, lofty ceilings, extensive glazing, a magnificent timber staircase and stone accents.

A spectacular place of gathering, a spacious open-plan living and dining area with plentiful integrated joinery is situated on the property's second level. Capturing extraordinary natural light and spellbinding views, this elegant central space seamlessly adjoins a phenomenal gourmet kitchen. Expect a breakfast nook featuring a custom Tasmanian oak corner table, plus granite benchtops, a window splashback and ample Blum servo-drive draw storage. A suite of premium appliances includes a Vzug four-plate induction cooktop, two CombiairSLP ovens, a Combi-Steam XSL steam oven, a built-in coffee machine and a Miwell-Combi XSL microwave and convention oven. Additionally, this enviable culinary space has a Miele dishwasher, a Qasair exhaust system, a Subzero fridge/freezer, a Zip filtered water tap and an insinkerator. With practicality in mind, a butler's pantry flows through to a laundry with an abundance of storage and access out to the side courtyard.

Encouraging indoor-outdoor living, stacked glass sliding doors open to reveal a grand entertainment terrace, where the north river view is framed by gardens. Steps away, a freshwater in-ground swimming pool is ideal for cooling off and admiring the mesmerising vista.

Continuing the entertainment options downstairs, a generous al fresco area encompasses an outdoor kitchen, a full-sized billiard table and a full bathroom. Retractable security screens link to an extended outdoor area boasting under-floor heating, as well as a Ferguson pizza oven and eight-burner barbecue with an overhead exhaust. Beyond this space, low-maintenance gardens spill out towards a private pontoon. Enjoy the best of the Brisbane riverfront lifestyle from your very own home.

Also on this level is a multi purpose room that could be used as a cinema or a playroom, in addition to an impressive wine cellar.

On the residence's third level, a lavish master suite is accented by an integrated Tasmanian oak king-sized bedframe and side tables. Accompanied by large dual walk-in robes and a laundry chute, this opulent retreat connects to a private riverfront terrace where you can relax and enjoy beautiful sunrises or city sunsets. Reminiscent of a high-end wellness retreat, an attached ensuite has dual vanities, floor-to-ceiling marble, a Villeroy & Boch bath, a shower/steam room and dual showers with multiple settings plus separate toilet.

Practically located steps away is a spacious office, a dedicated gym and a storage room.

A well-designed home that includes separation for children and guests means that the upper level of the home includes the four remaining bedrooms, plus a self-contained kitchenette and laundry. Two ensuited bedrooms open out to the river and enjoy access to a private terrace, whilst the other two share a bathroom and their own living area.
