In the heart of Fig Tree Pocket, an address synonymous with refined riverside living, lies an estate that transcends the ordinary. Set upon a staggering 3,693m² elevated land holding with a 35.7m river frontage, this contemporary masterpiece is a front-row seat to the beauty of the Brisbane River and the glittering lights of the Brisbane city skyline. Framed by soaring majestic trees and the gentle chorus of birdsong, this private retreat offers total serenity from neighbours; all while remaining remarkably positioned just 13km from the CBD and minutes from elite schools, transport, and local amenities. Turning in from the street, leave the world behind and begin your ascent along a sweeping private driveway, bordered by lush lawns and mature landscaping. As you approach, the scale of the home becomes clear: a wide-set, modern architectural statement that takes full advantage of its incredible 47.4m street frontage. For the homeowner, the driveway ushers you to a discreet side-entry garage, leaving the grand frontage of the stunning residence to take centre stage. The oversized garage offers space for 2+ vehicles and extensive storage. Practicality meets luxury here with direct entry from the garage to the home, via a wing featuring a large, dedicated workshop with skylight, a large laundry with access to outdoor drying courtyard, and a generous mudroom - the ultimate "catch-all" for the family's sporting gear, camping equipment and luggage. For your guests however, the experience begins at the striking timber entry doors. The double doors swing open to an impressive entrance hall, where huge windows capture the light and showcase the manicured grounds outdoors. While the entry foyer is undeniably grand, your gaze is immediately drawn deeper into the home. A powerful visual axis pulls you forward, past the interior spaces toward a breathtaking horizon where the tranquil Brisbane River meets a spectacular city view. As you move toward the view, you are welcomed into the breathtaking 'Great Room', which combines the living and dining areas with a gorgeous gas fireplace as a focal point. With soaring 4.7m ceilings, the sense of volume is immense. Giant floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide away to reveal a massive terrace suspended high above the Brisbane River. The terrace enjoys beautiful breezes thanks to its perfect north-east aspect. By day, watch the sun-dappled river through a canopy of majestic trees; by night, witness the transformation as the backdrop shifts to the twinkling of the Brisbane city lights. Whether hosting a milestone celebration, a sophisticated soiree or a quiet alfresco family dinner, this vast terrace adapts to every occasion. This is the pinnacle of Queensland entertaining - seamless, sophisticated, and serene. A home designed for hosting on this scale requires an equally capable kitchen. This large galley-style kitchen is strategically placed to overlook the living, dining, and terrace, ensuring the chef is always part of the conversation. Featuring sleek Corian benchtops and high-end stainless-steel Miele Neff & Qasair appliances, it offers function and flow. An attractive partition, etched with gum leaf motifs inspired by the property's own ancient trees, veils the prep area from guests. Equipped with a long breakfast island, a substantial butler's pantry, and a dedicated computer station, this is a kitchen designed to handle daily life and grand-scale hosting with equal finesse. For the convenience of guests, a powder room is also tucked away behind the kitchen area. Across from the kitchen and living rooms is a versatile multi-purpose room. With concealed pocket doors, it can instantly transform from an open family space into a private music room or media retreat. For the professional, an expansive home office provides a corporate-grade environment that easily rivals the finest CBD suites. Featuring two substantial built-in workstations and a wealth of storage space, the office commands a spectacular view of the river, making 'working from home' a genuine joy. Two of the four bedrooms are also located on this main living level. The Master Suite is a secluded haven tucked away in its own private wing. Waking up to river views, owners will enjoy a generous walk-in robe designed with boutique-scale storage, offering a plenty of hanging space for a comprehensive wardrobe and a built-in seat for shoe-fitting. There is also a large ensuite featuring double sinks, a walk-in shower and separate toilet. Nearby, bedroom 2 serves as a perfect guest or child's retreat, flooded with natural light and boasting its own private ensuite. Descending to the ground floor reveals a dream for active families. A vast recreation room with a kitchenette opens directly to the 18m lap pool and rear patio. This is the ultimate "freedom" zone - where raucous pool parties or teenage celebrations can thrive while adults entertain in peace upstairs. This level also features two additional bedrooms with built-in robes and a family bathroom featuring a Villeroy & Boch soaking bath. A further multipurpose room stands ready as a home gym, fifth bedroom, or media room. Multiple storage rooms offer the flexibility to install a wine cellar, or to neatly tuck away pool equipment and seasonal essentials out of sight. With its own entry and amenities, this entire floor offers a self-contained solution for multi-generational living or long-term guests.
