ONCE home to the British Trade Commissioner, this timeless Brisbane family estate is on the market for the first time in almost two decades.

The renovated 1920s double-brick property at 50 Riverview Tce, Hamilton is on a 2812sq m parcel of elevated blue-chip Hamilton land with a self-contained entertainment pavilion, championship-size floodlit tennis court, cricket nets, swimming pool and flourishing mature gardens.

Esteemed architect Richard Gailey and Hutchinson Builders were engaged to create an elegant, functional family residence which has played home to three prominent Brisbane families.

Renovated in recent times to accentuate light and flow, the home’s original integrity has been preserved and sympathetically styled by Newstead Interiors to achieve a welcoming contemporary feel.

Seller Maureen Tynan said it was the ideal base to raise her four active sons.

“It’s been a lovely family home,” Mrs Tynan said.

“Between studying, the boys would head out to play basketball, swim in the pool or have a hit of tennis. As they grew older, they loved the entertainment pavilion which stands apart from the main house.”

The Tynans updated the lower level to create a classic yet contemporary open-plan kitchen and informal dining area fitted with marble benchtops, Wolf appliances and Wyer + Craw cabinetry throughout.

All six large bedrooms are on the renovated upper level, including a spacious master suite with nursery/study which is separate from a children’s wing.

“It’s a very functional home,” Mrs Tynan said.

“It’s very solid and is warm in winter, yet cool in summer so we rarely use the ducted air conditioning. It’s a family home and because of its layout and function, I think it’s timeless.”

Charming character features such as high decorative plaster ceilings and rich wood paneling contribute to the wonderful sense of history.

“It’s peaceful, elegant and has a lovely homey feel,” Mrs Tynan said.

“We’ve had engagements, weddings, birthdays, christenings and fundraisers here so it's very versatile.”

Ray White New Farm | Spring Hill principal Matt Lancashire said the estate would suit a family of any size.

“This is truly one of Brisbane’s grandest family estates, beautifully cared for by the Tynan family,” Mr Lancashire said.

“The property is of a substantial size, offering 45.4m frontage and dual street access to Killara Avenue, overlooking Hamilton and Ascot. Only ten minutes from Brisbane’s CBD and Brisbane Airport, there is no better family residence on the market.”

  • Large private 2,812sq m blue-chip Hamilton estate with a commanding 45.4m frontage
