There is a cinematic quality to 51 Stevens Street, Yeronga. The kind of grandeur that feels less like a residence and more like a scene, framed by river light, timeless materials and quiet confidence. It evokes the golden age of modernist luxury, with a touch of old-school Hollywood glamour, a world of tailored sophistication, soft jazz, and slow sunsets over the water.
Occupying 7,326sqm of elevated riverfront land with 57 metres of private Brisbane river frontage, this estate stands among Brisbane's most significant riverfront holdings this close to the CBD. Overlooking the Indooroopilly Golf Course and just 5.5km from the city centre, the near two-acre estate offers privacy and poise, with manicured lawns, formal gardens, established trees, water features and a northern courtyard, all set against uninterrupted river vistas.
The residence itself is architectural theatre. A soaring gallery-style foyer of understated grandeur, finished in Crema Marfil marble and crowned by a glass roof, sets the tone. Living and dining areas, both formal and informal, unfold across a single level of extraordinary width, opening onto filled travertine marble terraces that appear to float above the river. The layout's horizontal expanse enhances its sense of calm, a composition of proportion and grace.
The chef's kitchen blends Calacatta marble benchtops, Sen Ash timber veneer cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances, anchored by a walk-in pantry and cold room. Every detail is deliberate, every finish quietly confident.
Five bedroom suites are each complemented by marble-clad ensuites and walk-in robes or dressing rooms. A traditional sauna, spa and gymnasium enhance the home's private amenities, while the lower level includes a self-contained maid/au pair' studio, basement garaging for five to six vehicles, a wine cellar, a second marble foyer and extensive storage.
Crowned by a hand-finished copper roof, a defining feature of quiet luxury, its natural patina enriches the estate's enduring elegance. Like the great American modernist homes, it was designed not for spectacle, but for permanence.
