Exclusively positioned in one of Brisbane’s most prestigious streets, this tri-level property with a swimming pool, a wine cellar and a five-car garage sits tastefully amongst the sloping riverfront landscape of Yeronga. 

Designed by Sydney-based architect Luigi Rosselli, the residence has been crafted to be reminiscent of a long ship, looking out across the Brisbane River to tree-dotted Saint Lucia beyond.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, architect Luigi Rosselli said his team was able to bring to Brisbane some new and fresh skills for this build, including their best sandstone mason from Sydney and more rigorous waterproofing methods.

The sketch above was the original concept for the home, and the concept was faithfully executed, including the palm trees.

“We are proud of our front idea, with simple volumes with the skill and beauty of the stonework and a generous level garden,” Luigi told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

"This house is designed as a long-ship ashore with three decks overlooking the river,” he explained. 

“The lower level has a swimming pool and a floating stair; the second level is the main entertaining area with plenty of space for the deck chairs; and the top floor has the Captain’s bridge extruded out of the master bedroom.”

Hidden behind a gated entry, the home’s grand sandstone-clad facade is complemented by landscaped gardens designed by Grow Collective.

The home is serviced by a lift on all three levels, and showcases a suspended concrete slab design with a magnificent curved staircase, tongue-in-groove oak flooring, lofty 2.9-metre-high ceilings, and full-height curved glass.

On the middle level, the sleek kitchen displays a large breakfast bar, Carrara marble benchtops and a butler’s pantry, as well as a Gaggenau combi steam oven, two integrated Miele dishwashers, a Zip tap, a built-in Liebherr fridge/freezer and a Gaggenau induction cooktop.

A dedicated study, generous media room and an attached courtyard on this level provide excellent ‘break out’ spaces, while the large covered al fresco area encompasses an outdoor kitchen with a BeefEater barbecue and an integrated Liebherr wine and beverage fridge.

The grassed rear yard and gardens cascade towards the riverfront and an eight-metre (approx.) pontoon, infinity-edge saltwater in-ground swimming pool and a firepit.

Upstairs, the opulent master suite features breathtaking river views, plus a walk-in robe and a luxe ensuite. There are three additional bedrooms and a well-appointed main bathroom on this level, with an ensuited fifth bedroom on the middle level that is ideal for guests or older generations.

Another living area on the ground level showcases an impressive fish tank, a wet bar and an accompanying bathroom.

This lower level also hosts a 400-bottle wine cellar with opportunity to expand and a custom artwork by Brisbane street artist Sofles, as well as a drive-in secure five-car garage and vast amounts of storage.

Additional details include a middle-level laundry benefitting from a chute, Daikin 56-kilowatt four-system air-conditioning, a C-Bus home automation system, Cat 6 cabling in all rooms and rooftop gardens.

The property is well located, close to a slew of shops and dining options, a leisurely stroll from Jacaranda Park’s playgrounds and minutes from the heart of Brisbane’s CBD.
