On a prized 2,028sqm riverfront parcel beside the historic Sherwood Arboretum, this award-winning residence redefines family living through scale, craftsmanship and connection to nature. Completed by Knowlman McDonald in 2012 and recognised by the Master Builders Association, the home fuses modern design with timeless elements, from recycled timbers steeped in Brisbane's history to landscaped grounds that unfold seamlessly to the river's edge—now further enhanced by a brand new private jetty, creating an unrivalled lifestyle connection to the water.
Generous yet welcoming interiors are defined by high ceilings and expansive glass, inviting natural light and heightening the sense of space. A fireplace anchors the living area and flows to the dining room framed by leafy outlooks. The covered deck, complete with stone pizza oven, offers a year-round setting for entertaining, elevated yet accessible to the manicured lawns and swimming pool. Here, river breezes and the backdrop of the Arboretum create a calm that feels far removed yet is only moments from daily conveniences.
The kitchen stands at the heart of the home, anchored by a broad stone island that serves as both an inviting breakfast bar and a generous workspace. Custom cabinetry provides abundant storage, paired with premium appliances including dual ovens and a gas cooktop. A skylight above draws in natural light, while the visual connection to the deck and beyond ensures cooking and entertaining remain seamlessly connected.
Five bedrooms provide a balance of comfort and flexibility. On the upper level, the master suite is a private retreat, elevated to capture leafy vistas and complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite featuring a spa bath and twin vanities. Three further bedrooms enjoy green outlooks with built-in wardrobes, while a guest or teenager's retreat on the lower level is paired with its own bathroom alongside a dedicated office or optional media room with dual desks. Practical inclusions such as a large laundry, ample storage, ducted and split-system air-conditioning, plantation shutters, garage with workshop and additional off-street parking underscore the home's comfort and convenience.
The grounds themselves are remarkable, landscaped with mature trees, hedging and expansive lawns that create both beauty and seclusion. A sparkling swimming pool enhances the sense of resort-style living, while a private viewing area extends the home's connection to the river, offering opportunities to unwind by the water.
Few addresses provide such a privileged balance of natural beauty and convenience. The Arboretum next door remains one of Brisbane's most treasured landscapes. Within walking distance are cafés, shops and Sherwood Train Station, while Sherwood State School and St Aidan's Anglican Girls' School are close at hand. The CBD is an easy commute, yet life here feels anchored in community, green space and the timeless allure of riverfront living.
Combining award-winning design with a rare landholding in one of Brisbane's most established suburbs, this is a home to be experienced, not just admired. Enquire today.
