17 Ryan Avenue, Balmoral QLD 4171

Taking its place in arguably the finest street in the area, this family home offers the ultimate in liveability, entertaining options and unobstructed city skyline views.

The 506m2 property with an expansive 13.7 metre frontage is uniquely positioned to offer exceptional elevation and outlooks without the hill climb required for most Balmoral homes. Plus, it sits just 550 metres or a 7-minute walk to the spoils of vibrant Oxford Street.

The multi-level home has been beautifully designed to make the most of the iconic aspect encompassing city skyscrapers, Story bridge, Woolstore buildings and Mt Coot-Tha from the entry level upwards.

Featuring high cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors, the main open plan living area flows to a vast entertaining deck capturing 180-degree views at the front and a private shaded terrace with fragrant Jasmine green backdrop at the rear.

And for those occasions that require a little more 'wow' factor, follow the garden path up to an all-weather pavilion well above the rooftops, where you can sip champagne in the jacuzzi and soak up Brisbane's most spectacular views.

The home boasts a sense of space, warmth and functionality that can immediately be enjoyed. Yet its post war status mean that scope exists to create your architectural dream home on a rare piece of real estate if ever desired*.
