Overview

A private riverfront estate of scale, design and absolute lifestyle

Set on a rare 1,100 square meter parcel with approximately 40 meters of direct Norman Creek frontage, this expansive residence designed by Tim Stewart Architects offers a highly functional and thoughtfully considered waterfront lifestyle. The home is oriented to maximize views, airflow, and connection to the water, unfolding across more than 600 square meters of built area that balances family living with resort-style entertaining.

Upon entering, the home immediately impresses with volume and natural light. Architectural voids, high ceilings, and expansive glazing create a grand sense of space. Full-height New Guinea Rosewood sliding doors retract completely, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living while capturing uninterrupted views of the elevated, level backyard.

The ground floor is dedicated to living, entertaining, and daily activities. It features a large open-plan living and dining area that flows effortlessly to the alfresco entertaining space. The central kitchen is equipped with premium V-ZUG and Miele appliances, a Liebherr side-by-side refrigerator, an integrated Zip HydroTap providing instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, and a fully appointed butler's pantry. A servery window connects directly to the outdoor entertaining area, enhancing the home’s capacity for large-scale gatherings.

Multiple living zones offer flexibility, including a separate games room with an adjoining deck, a library, a reading nook with a bar, and a dedicated media room featuring Bowers & Wilkins surround sound. A Cheminees Chazelles fireplace anchors the main living area, providing warmth and ambiance both inside and out. The covered alfresco area is substantial, complete with a built-in BBQ connected to natural gas and multiple gas points for outdoor heating, comfortably accommodating large groups.

The outdoor environment is designed as a natural extension of the home, delivering an authentic waterfront lifestyle. A heated swimming pool with a timed water feature sits alongside an expansive entertaining deck overlooking the water. A large, level lawn framed by mature landscaping and automated irrigation, including a productive citrus garden, offers ample space for recreation. A private waterfront deck with a fire pit creates a serene setting for evenings by the river. Direct water access is exceptional, supported by comprehensive boating infrastructure including a 12-meter timber jetty with gangway, a 9 by 3.5 meter concrete dry berth pontoon with winch, power, and water, and an additional 3 by 12 meter pontoon with integrated kayak storage.

The upper level is dedicated to accommodation, arranged to provide privacy and functionality for family living. Five bedrooms are positioned along a linear plan, supported by multiple bathrooms and integrated storage. A dedicated office offers a work-from-home environment with water views, while a study zone provides additional flexibility. The master suite occupies a private waterfront position, featuring elevated ceilings, a dressing room, and an ensuite, capturing the best aspect of the home. A sixth bedroom or media suite on the ground floor offers further flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.

From arrival, the experience is defined by privacy and control. A remotely operated secure gate opens to a broad driveway, additional off-street parking, and a four-car garage with internal access and integrated storage. A concealed service entry allows groceries to be moved directly from car to kitchen, reflecting the practical design intent.

Beyond its physical attributes, the home offers a rare lifestyle proposition. It is close to various schools and only a few minutes' walk or boat ride to Anglican Church Grammar School, Lourdes Hill College, Norman Park State School, St Thomas Camp Hill, Coorparoo Secondary College, and St Peter and Paul’s School. Located just 3 kilometers from the CBD, the property offers a private, retreat-like setting where mornings begin on the water, afternoons unfold on the lawn, and evenings are spent on the jetty at sunset. Kayaking, fishing, boating, or entertaining, this home supports all modes of living without compromise. Moreton Bay is within easy reach, with fishing grounds accessible in approximately 30 minutes or a relaxed boat ride to the Brisbane Powerhouse for dining and markets.

This home is built with long-term performance and comfort in mind, featuring spotted gum flooring throughout, fully ducted air-conditioning, Sonos multi-room integrated audio, a heated swimming pool with timed water feature, a large level lawn with established landscaping and automated irrigation including a citrus garden, a private waterfront deck and fire pit setting, large ceiling fans for airflow efficiency, automated external aluminium blinds and concealed internal blinds, automated outdoor lighting and irrigation systems, a security system with cameras and remote access, keyless entry and remote garage operation, a laundry chute and ergonomically designed laundry with direct outdoor access, a dedicated wine cellar, a 15.04kW solar system with 47 panels and Enphase microinverters, a hidden perimeter dog fence, and additional under-deck storage allowing for trailer or boat storage while preserving the full functionality of the four-car garage.
