House description

“Iconic Riverfront Estate of 2110m2”

Spanning four levels and capturing unparalleled 360 degree views of the city skyline, this landmark River Avenues address commands its status as one of Brisbane's absolute finest.

The prestigious 2110m2 site boasting a 27m river frontage with private pontoon, was originally owned by former Brisbane Lord Mayor, Clem Jones. Purchased in 1985 by flamboyant entrepreneur James Penny, a commercial design team of leading architects and interior designers crafted the world-class home. A two-year, multi-million-dollar renovation has just been completed by the home's current long-term owner, culminating in what is arguably the most spectacular contemporary design Brisbane has ever seen.

Retaining its prominent architectural style, including the iconic arched dome over the main bedroom, the property stands as one of the most recognised by passers-by on the river. Yet the recent transformation has bought every element, inside and out, into line with a brief of sophisticated cutting-edge flair.

The home promises a 6-star resort-inspired lifestyle that includes a championship-size tennis court, riverside pool area with its own white sandy beach, fire pit and self-contained cabana, as well as a sprawling rooftop terrace and bar.

Meanwhile, a flowing multi-level floorplan ensures the height of family and entertaining functionality, with premium finishes and inclusions throughout. Brushed European Limestone floors extend from inside to the alfresco spaces, creating an opulent but natural aesthetic. A magnificent kitchen with 80mm stone benchtops and the full entertainer's suite of Miele appliances is accompanied by state-of-the-art home technology.

Grand open living spaces on the entry level are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, connecting the interior to an expansive wrap-around entertaining terrace and the breathtaking river and city views beyond. Encompassing the ranges of Mount Coot-tha, iconic Teneriffe Woolstore, city skyscrapers and stretching north along the river, these magical vistas will forever belong to the home's every-day spaces.

One level down, a dedicated games and entertainment zone boasts a home gym, library, space for a billiard table and spectacular wine tasting area. A further first-floor pavilion overlooking the tennis court features a full bar, perfect for summertime or rainy-day parties!

All five bedrooms sit together on the upper floor, but have been thoughtfully separated into three individual wings to create a supremely private master retreat and accommodate families of any age or dynamic.

-Lavish master bedroom with dual ensuites and walk-in dressing rooms; laundry chute
-Five stunning floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms plus 2 guest powder rooms
-Kitchen featuring Miele induction cooktop, pyrolytic oven, combi steam oven/microwave, warming drawer and coffee machine, plus Vintec wine fridges
-Zoned ducted air-conditioning throughout
-Available plans for inclusion of a lift without any structural changes to the building
-6 zone integrated music system (rooftop party area, living room, formal lounge, front and side terraces, tennis pavilion and pool/beach area)
-Smart home technology throughout; latest Savant Pro system for device control of blinds, audio-visual systems, entry gate, garage doors, CCTV security cameras, pool filter and internal/garden lights
-Temperature and humidity controlled 900-bottle wine cellar lined in natural hand-chipped limestone; 300 litre wine barrels from Meursault in France. Double glazed argon gas-filled glass door to protect wine collection
-All terraces finished in French Pattern European Limestone
-Vertical feature walls clad in 40mm limestone; solid 80mm Montana charcoal stone to tennis pavilion bar
-80,000 litre swimming pool with waterfall, undercover day beds, BBQ and casual lounge and a self-contained pool/guesthouse
-Pontoon for boat mooring; large riverside storage for kayaks, boats and jet-skis
-Second property entry point via Scott Street easement, allows access to the deep-water slipway running down into the river
-New driveway paved in Montana stone imported from the USA, plus three-car remote garage and keyless property entry

Built prior to the introduction of council height restrictions, the home is arguably the tallest on the Brisbane riverfront, creating a truly irreplaceable offering. Located just 4km from the Brisbane CBD, with easy access via road, bus or City Cat, residents can stroll to riverside parkland, local cafes, fine restaurants, a gourmet grocer and deluxe cinema. Moments from elite schools and Oxford Street's vibrant shopping, dining and entertainment precinct. The property boasts swift access to world-class cultural offerings at Southbank and the Queen's Wharf development, as well as arterial roads connecting with the Airport, Gold and Sunshine Coast.

A once-in-a-generation opportunity for buyers pursuing the pinnacle of architecture, aspect and location.
