THIS grand tri-level masterpiece sitting high in the dress circle on Hamilton Hill offers a truly unmatched level of luxury in Brisbane.

Owner Anthony Barakat and his wife Terrie and their four children have loved every moment of living in their picture perfect trophy home that they built 14 years ago.

This corner block at 1 Dickson Terrace, Hamilton with 30.6m frontage offers a panoramic view of the Brisbane River and the CBD.

“It’s been the best house for us but our children are all growing up and the time is right for us to sell. It took us more than 18 months to build our dream home totally from scratch,” Mrs Barakat said.

“We are so high here, it’s the best spot on Hamilton Hill and we have watched the Brisbane skyline develop and change over time.

“I love being able to see the city from every room in the house - from the CBD to the mountains in the west - through the floor to ceiling windows.

“We bought the property to take advantage of the breezes and the views, and it’s very open and filled with light.

“I always wanted the house to speak for itself, so the structure speaks volumes. It’s got clean lines and it’s very open plan.”

The Barakats engaged local interior designer Greg Harris to create their masterpiece, while the Calcutta marble in the kitchen and main ensuite was sourced from Gitani Stone in Sydney who imported it from the same quarry in Italy that Michelangelo created his masterpieces.

The state-of-the-art kitchen boasts an array of integrated European appliances with seamless connection to each entertaining area of the home.

The Suedestone flooring throughout the entire house - inside and out - was imported from the quarry in the heart of Jerusalem.

Although ancient in age, the stone complements the modern features throughout the house beautifully.

On the top floor you will find the palatial master suite and a further four king sized bedrooms with access to an ensuite and built in wardrobes. The remaining sixth bedroom and guest retreat are found on the lower level along with home gym and theatre.

Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire said the Barakats were selling to downsize.

“They chose this location as they wanted the best views of the river and CBD. Their neighbours are also considered as some of Brisbane's most exclusive homes,” Mr Lancashire said.

“The Barakats love their home however now it is time for another family to enjoy it as much as they have over the years. “

Mr Lancashire said Dickson Terrace was one of Brisbane's best enclaves.

"The quality of existing homes and homes that are currently being built surrounding 1 Dickson Terrace is testament to why Dickson Terrace is so tightly held and is one of Brisbane's most desired locations," he said.

The expressions of interest tender closes on March 28 at 5pm, if not sold prior.
