Open plan living, light-filled spaces and a wonderful interaction between indoors and out really sets the tone for this riverfront residence which promotes a real connection with the river while also making the absolute most of Queensland’s stunning climate. Certainly the position is superior, complete with deep water pontoon, providing far-reaching views that encompass both a wide stretch of the river and the uninterrupted greenery of Indooroopilly Golf Course on the opposite bank.

The design takes full advantage of this assured privacy, boasting walls of glass throughout, that when retracted create the feeling of living in a series of sub-tropical pavilions that just fits so well with the concept of living and entertaining by the water. From the entry this becomes immediately apparent with banks of bi-folding doors and windows able to be pushed back creating a completely uninterrupted line from the front gate through to the water. Polished concrete flooring runs seamlessly inside and out helping to further unify the space.

A custom bar area and casual lounge (with surround sound) make this a superb zone for entertaining, as does the expansive deck (with alfresco kitchen), which extends so far out from the home it feels almost cantilevered over the water. The adjacent salt-water pool does double duty, as much a visual focal point as source of refreshment, while expanses of lawn provide room for children and pets to play.

Upstairs, space for open plan living and dining are once again flanked by bi-folding doors that when both are opened, create the feeling of living in a light and breezy treetop pavilion. The kitchen very much sets a retro vibe with its bespoke stone island bench top and stainless steel finishes. It works in well with both the adjacent meals area and the home’s second waterfront balcony, (also complete with its own outdoor kitchen).

A suspended platform and gallery walk leads to the master suite where the large and light-filled room boasts a walk-in wardrobe, generous ensuite and private balcony. A further four rooms are located downstairs and are able to make use of the family bathroom, separate powder room and atrium-style study.

With air-conditioning for those really hot days, plentiful storage for kayaks and water skis, security, water tanks and a dual carport, this fully-fenced 690m2 property has everything necessary for a low-maintenance, carefree lifestyle. There is even a great waterfront play area for children, complete with swings and a slide.

With the area so well located to reach the CBD, amenities and the University of Queensland, the house is ideally positioned for the whole family. And with its superb lifestyle and entertainment options, not to mention riverfront address, it is certainly a home to aspire to and an acquisition of which, to be justifiably proud.
