This riverfront residence in blue-chip Bulimba makes a perfect inner-city sanctuary for the entire family. Nestled amongst magnificent properties, the enviable, five bedroom home boasts a functional, modern design across two levels and is an ideal canvas to further renovate into your dream home.

River and city scenery, plus abundant natural light, are on offer throughout, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring ceilings. Spacious, open plan living zones include a sprawling family room with another lifestyle area to the rear of the home. A colourful, contemporary kitchen overlooks the entirety and comes with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, breakfast bar, gas cooktop and ample cabinetry, with a bathroom positioned nearby.

Step to the outdoors via beautifully curving, floor-to-ceiling glass and relax in space and style while absorbing lovely views across the water. As well as a paved patio with a broad shade sail, the 468m2 low-maintenance block features a fabulous riverfront pool bordered by a timber deck and lush lawn.

Upstairs, beyond a breath-taking ceiling void, find yet more outdoor areas with panoramic prospects. In the generously sized parent’s retreat, full-length windows reveal the river and CBD landscape with a private balcony. There is also a walk-in robe and ensuite with a double open shower and twin vanities. Timber bi-fold shutters above the separate bath reveal more views of the tranquil riverfront.

Two bedrooms to the opposite side of the second storey feature soaring, slanted ceilings and flow to a shared front balcony, with one room having floor-to-ceiling windows. These rooms, and the remaining two bedrooms, include built-in robes. A brand new family bathroom boasts an open shower, freestanding bath, separate toilet and laundry chute. A luxury home with a sunset view, this residence is one of a kind.
