Address available on request, Paddington, Qld 4064

It is a rare privilege to find a private sanctuary that feels a world away yet sits just three kilometres from the heartbeat of the Brisbane CBD. Five years in the making, demanding patience, vision, and sharp negotiation required to secure and consolidate parcels of land, this exceptional property is an inner-city estate of extraordinary proportions. Set across an elevated, 2,843-square-metre parcel in a tightly held Paddington cul-de-sac, the magnificent creation by renowned architect Geoffrey Pie AO offers a lifestyle where family and friends can gather, grow and thrive. This property is in excellent, as new condition, ready for a family to just move in and enjoy.

Stepping through secure ornate wrought iron gates, your gaze is immediately drawn upward to a magnificent arbour draped in lush foliage and adjacent to white frangipani trees. Double timber entry doors swing open to reveal a wide, light-filled foyer welcoming you into a home of extraordinary scale and understated elegance.

Moving past this quiet zone, to the right of the foyer, and the home unfolds magnificently into its breathtaking social core: an expansive, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space where interior design meets architectural mastery.

At thirteen metres long, the open plan living and dining room balances grand scale with intimate warmth. A magnificent wood-burning fireplace anchors one end, and at the other is a sophisticated drinks station with custom cabinetry by Wyer & Craw with integrated wine fridges, and abundant storage for entertaining. Flanked by large banks of glass doors on both sides, the living and dining room captures sublime cross breezes and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The doors open on one side to a private, north-east-facing grassed courtyard framed by mature trees and a backdrop of city lights. On the other side the rooms open to a sprawling entertaining deck overlooking the pristine grounds. Automated, time-controlled blinds curate the light and climate effortlessly for every season and hour of the day, while integrated ceiling speakers immerse the entire home in quality surround sound.

Adjacent sits an entertainer's dream of a kitchen, designed so you can effortlessly host a crowd, interact with guests, and keep a watchful eye on children playing in the pool below. Frameless sash windows offer sweeping vistas across the suburb to Mount Coot-tha while opening directly to the deck. Rich timber cabinetry pairs with stainless steel benchtops, stunning Italian pendant lighting, dual Liebherr fridges, Gaggenau ovens and five-burner gas cooktop with benchtop extraction. Adjoining the kitchen is a fully equipped butler's pantry with additional storage and workbenches.

Positioned perfectly to the left of the foyer is a private home office, equipped with built-in workstations and extensive storage options. Bathed in natural light from large windows, it offers an inspiring workspace with views stretching from the city skyline to Milton and Toowong. Behind this home office is a large library, also tailored with custom desks, ample shelving and under bench storage. With a modern fireplace, and immersive surround sound system, this flexible space could function equally well as a media room or children's playroom.

Beyond the foyer, a corridor leads to the family bedroom wing, which can be completely locked off from the rest of the home for ultimate security and privacy. Flooded with natural light from large windows, this hallway looks down over a tranquil garden featuring a peaceful water feature and three stunning Tropical Birch trees. Along this secure wing you'll find two generously proportioned double bedrooms and the master suite. All the bedrooms have built-in robes, ceiling fans and beautiful ensuites showcasing terrazzo tiled floor with underfloor heating. Each bedroom opens directly to its own deck overlooking the pool and grounds. At the head of the wing is the master retreat, a sprawling sanctuary featuring an expansive custom dressing room – complete with extensive hanging space, custom drawers for effortless organisation, and dedicated shoe cupboards. Flowing from this is a luminous ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub and dual showers.

Descend the wide central staircase to the ground level, and the home reveals an entirely new dimension of recreation. Designed to grow alongside your family, this lower level is built for joyful noise and unforgettable celebrations. A massive rumpus room with retractable bifold doors flows effortlessly onto the lawn and pool deck, while an adjoining snooker room can be united or separated via bifold doors depending on the scale of your gathering. A nearby bathroom is ideal when entertaining guests on this level, and it also services the pool.

Tucked away on this level, a fourth bedroom is great for older kids needing some separation from the family. Opening directly to the pool deck and enjoying its own private bathroom, it is also an ideal guest suite. Adjacent to this bedroom is a very private multi-purpose room with views to the courtyard garden. Currently, used as a Pilates room, it has a private entry and a built-in kitchenette and can combine very effectively with the adjoining bedroom to operate as a self-contained granny flat, au pair suite, or private quarters for long-term overseas visitors.
In this home practicality meets thoughtful design even in the service and utility zones.

Beginning with the oversized laundry, it features extensive storage, built-in hanging space for ironed garments, a central island bench for folding and sorting and offers direct access to the outdoor drying line. Also on this level is the secure garage, again offering extraordinary scale, easily housing multiple vehicles while providing ample room to set up a dedicated home gym or workshop. Completing this lower level is a sophisticated temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a dedicated storeroom ideal for tools and garden equipment.

Outdoors, the property transforms into a private resort designed for all ages. Step directly from the rumpus room into the 12.5 metre fully tiled heated lap pool, complete with tumble-turn depths, and a playful flying fox overhead. Beyond lies a championship-sized, north-south tennis court (at 35m x 17.5m). The synthetic court is also set up for basketball and is adjoined by a equipment store for pool pumps and heater, AC compressors, garden tools as well as storage for racquets and balls etc. Beneath the court, another massive secure garage space with independent street access houses a skateboard half-pipe, parking for up to eight vehicles, a 22 KvA standby generator and an 81,000-litre subterranean water tank system that feeds the lush, professionally irrigated grounds.

In fact, the entire construction of the property is rooted in thoughtful environmental design, utilising thick insulated block walls, deep roof overhangs, natural cross-ventilation, and a substantial 50-panel solar array, it is tailored entirely to the Queensland climate, operating with remarkable energy efficiency and requiring air conditioning on only the hottest of days.

This is a residence designed for every facet of life: host elegant cocktail parties for one hundred guests on the lawn, casual Sunday barbecues on the deck, or quiet winter nights gathered by the fire. Beyond its private gates lies an exceptional community connection, allowing children to walk to esteemed local primary schools like Rainworth and Milton State Schools, with easy access to elite inner-city private institutions including Brisbane Grammar, Girls Grammar, All Hallows, and Gregory Terrace. Walk to the concerts and sporting events at Suncorp Stadium or take a leisurely stroll down to the vibrant cafes of Rosalie Village. Just three kilometres to the CBD and with transport links close at hand, this Paddington Estate is a rare, irreplaceable masterpiece - a home for all seasons, and a legacy for generations to come.
