Nestled in a sought-after riverside locale on a double lot spanning 1,960sqm (approx.), this Norman Park home combines historical character with contemporary design.

The residence has undergone significant changes since its construction in 2010, with renovations in 2007 by acclaimed architect Paul Owen of Owen & Vokes and a further zinc-clad extension downstairs by the award-winning architects Zuzana & Nicholas in 2018.

The 5-bedroom property is being offered to the market for the first time in 26 years, through Heath Williams of Place New Farm.

“The flow through the home draws your attention to the change from character home to the modern architecture, intentionally not seamless, but beautifully layered. More than a home, this Paul Owen masterpiece is an experience that photos alone can't capture,” Heath Williams told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“This is one of those homes that you would struggle to leave for a holiday, from the large entertaining areas, resort style pool and tennis court, to private creek access for water activities.”

Inside, the home’s considered layout encourages connection between all its spaces. High-quality finishes include Paul Owen’s distinctive use of white subway tiles throughout, as well as New Guinea Rosewood, Calacatta Marble, plus innovative exterior casement windows that are not only aesthetically pleasing but functional, designed to angle to shield the interiors from the sun.

Designed with spacious, open-plan living areas that create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor environments, the home presents a refined yet inviting atmosphere for both relaxation and entertainment.

Among its many standout features are two private studies, a cozy library/reading nook, a formal lounge and dining area with a built-in fireplace, and a dedicated billiards room that leads into a stylish TV area and bar.

Seamlessly connected to an informal dining area, the kitchen features a striking Calacatta Marble island bench, stainless steel benchtops, an ILVE gas cooktop, Miele appliances, and a Zip hot and cold tap. Ample storage is thoughtfully integrated, ensuring both form and function. This elegant space also extends into a sunken lounge that opens out to an expansive outdoor entertaining area.

The home is spread over two levels, with five generous bedrooms, all with built-in robes, three bathrooms, and a powder room. Three bedrooms, including the master suite, are located upstairs. 

The master bedroom, situated in the original grand Queenslander, is enhanced by a modern ensuite, offering a secluded and private retreat. The second bedroom opens to a glass-walled sunroom, offering serene views of the lush garden surrounds.

Outside, a sprawling courtyard and cortile with an outdoor fireplace create an idyllic spot for entertaining, while the 12m x 6m resort-style pool and an oversized day/night half tennis court make this home a haven for leisure. 

The garden is meticulously maintained with a commercial-grade irrigation system, serviced by a 50,000-litre underground water tank. Additionally, the property boasts parking for four cars, including a carport, and a floating 10m x 3m pontoon, perfect for river access.
