Enveloped in a lush landscape at the end of a private lane in the heart of Brisbane’s most popular lifestyle suburb is this award-winning Donovan Hill residence. Achieving a design brief of “pursue perfection”, the timeless extremely low maintenance home is the epitome of contemporary Queensland living. Private and peaceful and only metres from the Brisbane River, James Street cafĂ© hub, and Gasworks retail and dining precinct, this home is the ideal modern living sanctuary.
This work of art has three levels of minimalist functionality where light, space and New Guinea Rosewood features are played off each other to create a relaxed flow and ambiance. A focus on entertaining is evident in a layout which includes a living room elevated above an open-plan dining room and beautifully equipped marble kitchen, an outdoor entertaining zone, heated lap pool, and wine cellar.
The nationally recognised inner-city home offers a private lane with front and rear access surrounded by green and sun soaked wood. With a high quality build and timeless design, it awaits in this private place for stories to be made.
