Westlake QLD 4074

This recently remodelled mansion, restyled by well-known Italian designer Joe Reggi, provides the latest in modern living together with an incredible outlook over the Brisbane River. This is a unique natural environment, with no residential development opposite to diminish these precious panoramic views onto the river and bushland which open out and welcome you as soon as you cross the threshold of this luxurious mansion. It is hard to believe you are only 20 minutes from the city. The area itself is a lovely surprise for those unfamiliar with this part of Brisbane: leafy, well kept, wide tree-lined street with no overhead wiring. Large shopping and home-maker centres nearby, excellent schools and community organizations.
The house is a blend of modern and classic elements. The street-front makes a quality statement with its hand-forged heavy wrought iron fence and security code gates. The front path leads through the gardens to a covered entrance with large designed timber panelled doors opening up to a grand foyer which itself immediately and dramatically opens up a panoramic view of the Brisbane Rover. A spectacular and unique glass and timber cantilevered staircase suspended in the atrium-style foyer leads to the upper storey under a central chandelier, adding an unusual sense of class.
High ceilings and spotted gum timbers floors are featured throughout. The study which converts to a media room is fitted with a drop-down 92 inch screen and projector, smart-wired to computers and smart phones. The ground floor also holds a travertine embellished powder room, together with a spacious bedroom and ensuite for guests. There is a large open plan living area, with an ethanol 3 burner fireplace to brighten and warm a cool winter night or give ambiance to a fabulous party. The formal dining area enjoys enhanced river views via stunning timber bi folds and large picture windows. There are two large storage areas plus a bar fridge conveniently located, so as to facilitate entertaining lunches and evening dinners.
