47 Glencairn Avenue

Rarely does a residence of such presence and permanence become available within Indooroopilly's tightly held river precinct. Spanning 1,682sqm and backing onto Glencairn Avenue Park and the Brisbane River beyond, this recently repainted grand family estate introduces a remarkable combination of privacy, elegance and flexibility. Beyond distinguished iron gates, the residence makes an immediate impression from the street. Symmetrical proportions, arched windows and stately columns create a striking architectural profile softened by manicured gardens and a magnificent fountain that forms a captivating focal point. Rising gracefully toward the residence, a broad staircase leads to the main entry, setting a memorable tone from the outset. Designed to balance large-scale entertaining with everyday family living, the interiors unfold across impressive proportions where rich timber flooring, soaring ceilings, intricate detailing and expansive glazing invite natural light and frame leafy outlooks throughout. From the entry, a substantial semi-open plan living and dining room anchored by a fireplace creates an inviting setting, extending seamlessly to the poolside terrace and mural-enriched patio for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Offering further flexibility, a separate living and dining space provides a warm retreat for cooler evenings, complete with a fireplace, rotunda-style lounge and terrace access. At the heart of the home and overlooking the swimming pool, the kitchen balances impressive scale with everyday practicality. Stone benchtops, a substantial centre island and abundant cabinetry are paired with quality appliances, including multiple ovens, creating a highly functional setting equally suited to entertaining and everyday living. Nearby, an adjoining informal meals area provides an inviting space for casual dining. Accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged across three levels to provide privacy and flexibility for every stage of family life. Ascending via the gallery above, the upper level is dedicated to a private master retreat complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and Juliet balcony capturing filtered glimpses toward the Brisbane River. Three additional bedrooms and bathrooms occupy the main level, including one with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, ideal for guests or older children. On the lower level, two further bedrooms are accompanied by a separate living area, bathroom and wet bar, creating an exceptional arrangement for extended family, guests or future self-contained living. Outdoors, beautifully established grounds unfold beyond the expansive poolside terrace, extending toward riverfront parkland with direct rear access. Further enhancing the home, a suite of additional features includes double garage accommodation, substantial off-street parking, poolside amenities, generous storage, a mudroom, dedicated laundry facilities, and both ducted and split system air conditioning throughout. Enjoying a coveted Indooroopilly address, the residence offers immediate access to an exceptional lifestyle. Walk or cycle nearby riverfront pathways, enjoy proximity to Indooroopilly Golf Club and premier shopping precincts, while benefiting from close access to some of Brisbane's most highly regarded schools, including St Peters Lutheran College, Brigidine College, St Aidan's Anglican Girls' School and Brisbane Boys' College. Nearby transport connections and the lifestyle amenity of Chelmer, Chapel Hill and Graceville further enhance everyday convenience. Private, substantial and remarkably flexible, this is a home designed to evolve with family life while offering a lifestyle few are fortunate enough to secure.
