8083 Riverside Drive, Sanctuary Cove, QLD 4212

A sense of grandeur and majesty is instantly apparent, from the bespoke timber front doors, through the double height voided entry, all the way to the water view at the rear. Located on Schotia Island, where luxury waterfront homes are in abundance, the address alone heralds prestige.

Built by the current owners to maximise this magnificent 1,054 sqm prime allotment and to take advantage of the 38.4m wide water frontage. Enjoying views of the river, yet positioned just off the mouth, creating the perfect location for a large boat on its 18m pontoon. Concrete slab construction on all levels, basement garage and a passenger lift over two levels convey the level of quality and detail that was considered when building the home.

Breathtaking design cues are widely evident throughout the home with master crafted timber cabinetry throughout and the stunning curved staircase that separates the second floor from the voluminous void below. Classic timeless features are on offer, including ornate cornicing, niches, wrought iron balustrading to the curved staircase and Juliet balconies, and the numerous brilliant custom designed chandeliers.

Keeping in proportion, the kitchen features an expansive 40mm stone topped island bench, Ilve gas stove, Liebherr integrated fridge/freezer, Miele built in coffee machine and microwave and an integrated dishwasher in the butler's pantry. Multiple living areas include both casual and formal sitting areas plus room for a grand dining setting, a dedicated media room with screen and projector and a large home office. For all this space, the home does not feel volumes and vas; it was designed to be comfortable for a couple while still providing room for visiting family and friends or is perfect for the larger family, as the flexible floorplan offers a multitude of options.

The primary suite is located on the ground floor and opens to a private sun room with direct access to the terrace and pool, and has his and her walk in wardrobes plus a luxurious ensuite with bath. There is another spacious bedroom with Juliet balcony and private bathroom on the ground floor, then three more bedrooms on the upper level, one with private ensuite and the other two share a Jack and Jill bathroom. Two of the bedrooms upstairs are waterside and open onto private balconies, while the third has a kitchenette in the closet and functions well as a retreat.

Venturing outside, there is a 10m pool and separate spa, spacious covered and screened entertaining alfresco, ample tiled poolside terrace and feature lighting illuminates the external facade in the evenings. Clearly the home was designed with entertaining in mind as the inside and outside meld effortlessly together to create spaces for large parties or intimate gatherings. The kitchens, both inside and out, are located and equipped to make entertaining easy and the recent addition of the woodfire pizza oven is guaranteed to elevate your party hosting prowess.

A quality home specifically designed for the subtropical climate with extensive use of glazing, welcoming in wonderful airflow and an abundance of natural light, this waterfront mansion is in one of the country's most desirable locations and is truly a spectacular way to live.
