Situated on a substantial riverfront block of approximately 2850sqm, across two titles, and featuring a tennis court and a swimming pool beneath cantilevered steel and glass, this multi-award-winning Yeronga home is a residence of dreams and is being offered for the first time.

The five-bedroom sanctuary drinks in river views of the reach and integrates with the existing landscape to give the streamlined appearance of a single-level abode.

Designed by architect Brian Steendyk, the home was the first of his many luxury and bespoke residences that have since received acclaim both nationally and internationally, inspired by the works of Mies Van Der Rohe and Philip Johnson for which Steendyk personally had privileged time in while he studied his Masters of Architecture in Chicago.

For Steendyk, this residence holds a special place. The keen eye and attention to detail found in this seminal residence on the Brisbane River have become hallmarks of his work. 

“When I designed this home some two decades ago, we aimed for something that had elegance to carry it through the ages, and it is this 'timeless' quality that we are most proud of,” he told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.  

“The quality of spaces in this five bedroom plus study estate still gives a thrill every time you encounter the home. The materials and finishes were well ahead of the time, and today are as fresh as they were when the home was completed. It is an extraordinary home that we have been privileged to have had the wholehearted support of the client, and it is credit to them for their unwavering vision that has imbued this restorative home with an 'heirloom' quality that pervades in full force today.”

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Heath Williams said it has been a cherished family home for a long time but it’s time to pass on the property to another family as the current owners are downsizing.

“This is an exciting opportunity because the whole brief to the architect was to keep the property discreet,” Heath explained

“The arrival sequence is an interesting journey as the house remains hidden, revealing itself slowly through a design of architectural merit and an enjoyable sense of drama.”

With a U-shaped layout, the courtyard is the central focus of the house, embracing outdoor/ indoor family living, while focusing the house's attention towards the river. Living spaces including the kitchen, library and lounge box feed off the courtyard level.

Bedrooms are organised above the living spaces of the courtyard, cleverly utilizing floor levels to maintain a hierarchy of privacy from the court. The ensuited master bedroom showcases breathtaking river views, a windowseat and a walk-in robe, while four additional bedrooms are also fitted with built-in robes, window seats and study nooks.

Other details include a sizeable media room, separate wine cellar, secure three-car garage, a three-car carpport, a linked storage room, air-conditioning and ceiling fans.

The residence is a leisurely stroll from the Yeerongpilly Green Riverside development, Pat Rafter Arena, 3kms to the Terrace sporting facilities, less than 2km to Sommerville House rowing sheds, Rowlinson Park’s playgrounds and a collection of local boutiques and dining options. Forming part of the soon-to-be-constructed Cross River Rail project, the Yeronga train station is also nearby.
