For the first time in 32 years the iconic Brisbane riverfront residence, 'Falconwood' provides a rare opportunity to secure an impressive address in one of Brisbane's most sought after locations. Positioned along exclusive Humbug Reach opposite leafy New Farm Park, with panoramic views that encompass the sparkling city skyline and several rivers reaches, this five-bedroom prestige home boasts a private pontoon, a self-contained boat house and an enviable swimming pool and deck suspended above the river's edge.

The 1770sqm allotment is flood-free and north-facing with an expansive 20 meter river frontage. The property includes 400sqm of landscaped grounds to the rear of the home that provide excellent privacy, as well as the potential for an exciting development opportunity. One of only a small collection of residences accessed via its own private 50-metre easement, the home exudes an elegance and tranquility, whilst being in close proximity to the city's vibrant heart.

Designed by prominent inter-war architect George Rae, the property showcases the refined Spanish Mission style, having a terracotta-tiled roof and a magnificent river-facing facade with high arched openings supported by barley-twist columns. The residence features elegant polished timber and parquetry floors on the lower levels, marble bathrooms, decorative plasterwork ceilings, dazzling chandeliers and French doors leading to Juliette-style balconies that open to fabulous vistas.

Extended and renovated in 2000 by Brisbane heritage architect Basil T Veal, the home flows from its welcoming entry to a spacious open-plan living and dining area on the middle level. Two generous formal lounge rooms, one with an adjoining piano room, open onto a covered entertainers' terrace, where breathtaking river views provide a fantastic setting for relaxing and hosting guests. Opening to the dining room, the sensational open-plan kitchen will capture the attention of avid cooks and entertainers alike. Displaying a large island bench, generous breakfast bar and quality appliances, this outstanding culinary space also has stone benchtops and ample storage, as well as an adjoining private courtyard.  The open-plan design provides the perfect space to gather loved ones for unforgettable celebrations, to share an al fresco meal or toast the sunset in sheer luxury.

Downstairs, another living area spills out onto a fully-fenced grassed rear yard with mature gardens, an open-air patio and a 10-metre pontoon with deep river access. A luxurious in-ground swimming pool and an expansive deck suspended above the river's edge serve as a brilliant vantage point for admiring the mesmerising vista. Stairs from the pool lead through landscaped gardens to a waterfront boat house, complete with kitchen and bathroom making it convenient for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying all the river has to offer.

On the residence's third level an opulent master suite has a sitting room with fire-place, a study and balconies that provide exceptional river and city views. A lavish ensuite boasts dual vanities, as well as a separate bath and shower and a walk-in robe with dressing room.

A sizeable fourth bedroom with French doors opening to a private courtyard, an office/fifth bedroom and another full bathroom are located on the middle level of the home, while on the ground level, two additional bedrooms with built-in robes have French doors that open to a terrace and river vistas. A full bathroom, a separate laundry and a study complete the floor.

Complete with dual garage and ample off-street parking for additional vehicles, the home also includes air-conditioning, a security alarm system, and CCTV.
