Hamilton’s best kept secret

THIS stunning elevated sanctuary at 22a Crescent Road, Hamilton Hill has just been listed by elite agent Damon Warat of Ray White Ascot.

This jaw-dropping four bedroom residence takes full advantage of its majestic panoramas across the Brisbane River and city skyline.

“There’s nothing like it on the market in Brisbane today. This house is the very definition of unrivalled luxury,” Mr Warat said.

The owners’ brief to their architect was “forever old and forever young”.

The solid concrete and steel construction also uses natural materials such as Bluestone, Travertine, Mont Blanc Quantez, New Guinea rosewood and copper.

A custom copper lift services all the three levels seamlessly to connect the entertaining areas and views. Featuring a full-home automation system, the residence won the Cedia Award for best integrated home.

There’s a gym plus and the house also features a commercial-grade cinema and sauna.

Seller Cathy Tomkins said the 10 year old home took more than two years to build.

“We have loved our time here. It truly has the best views of the city. It’s just time for us to downsize and reduce our footprint and we’d like to try a unit that we can lock up and go travelling,” she said.

“It’s just time to spend more time with our family.

“We love the historical connection of the joinery in the cellar, the old and the new. Forever old and forever young, using natural materials,” Ms Tomkins said.

From the entry is the most beautiful silver travertine Italian floors which run throughout the house.

And the cellar - which holds 1800 bottles - is made from timber recycled from the Shorncliffe Jetty which was more than 100 years old.

Another custom made feature is the terracotta ‘cotto’ louvres - made especially for the owners by craftsmen in northern Italy.

The statement pool deck is where the entertaining happens, surrounded by beautiful landscaping.

The property is for sale via an expressions of interest campaign which closes on September 22.
