9/6 Merthyr Road, New Farm QLD 4005

Downsizing House Alternative. Dog Friendly. Riverfront Lifestyle.

A tranquil retreat flanked by extremely usable terraces and courtyards (mornings in the one off the study, and lunch and dinner is well-suited to the riverside terrace). And for puppy, there's lawn area giving this villa a house-like feel.

A love for craftsmanship has resulted in this ultra-modern chef's kitchen, within this 'poster-child' riverside villa. Show off your culinary skills (double Gaggenau included). A master with an enormous ensuite (you'll love the bath). And a massive lock-up garage for your bikes, kayaks and golf clubs.

Everything in this meticulously, fully-renovated home, with its never-to-be-built-out vista has been carefully conceived, from the custom rangehood in the kitchen, to the Sub-Zero fridge drawers on the terrace. The rich, chocolate timber floors and crisp white plantation shutters ooze a Hamptons vibe - in fact you'll feel like you're on permanent vacation!
