26 Scenic Road, Kenmore, Qld 4069

Perched high above the riverbank, this extraordinary 1969 mid-century masterpiece is more than just a home-it's a sanctuary. 

Nestled behind nearly 50 metres of flood free pristine river frontage, this remarkable estate spans 2.3 acres of lush, picturesque grounds, offering a secluded retreat where nature and architecture exist in perfect harmony.

Designed by the visionary architect Donald Spencer, the residence has been meticulously restored, reviving its mid-century essence while seamlessly embracing the demands of modern living.

Every detail has been thoughtfully preserved, allowing the home's rich history and timeless elegance to shine through. 

With sweeping dual reaching views over the shimmering water and Jindalee parklands beyond, this rare and cherished abode is a generational landmark, a setting where families can grow, entertain, and embrace a slower, more tranquil way of life.

From the moment you step inside, the home's deep connection to its surroundings becomes clear. The material palette pays homage to the landscape, with natural textures that invite the outside in-original Blackbutt veneers, hand-matched to perfection, along with slate and parquetry flooring that speak to the craftsmanship of its era. 

Floor-to-ceiling glass floods the interiors with natural light, framing the emerald-green canopy and river's gentle ebb and flow like a living masterpiece.

The sculptural slate chimney and fireplace is a striking visual centrepiece to the home, anchoring the soaring 4.4-metre cathedral ceilings and exposed beams in the expansive living and dining area. 

More than just a design statement, it creates an inviting warmth, drawing people together-whether for lively gatherings by the cocktail bar or quiet moments by the flickering flames.

For more intimate occasions, a second living area offers a cosy retreat, seamlessly integrating with the brand-new kitchen. 

Honouring the past, original cabinetry has been lovingly retained, now complemented by a sleek Caesarstone island and high-end appliances, striking the perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation.

A separate rumpus room and office provide dedicated spaces for work and play, ensuring every member of the family has their own place to unwind.

Five beautifully appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms complete the home, each infused with character and warmth. The primary suite is a private oasis, perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking river views-a peaceful retreat where mornings begin with the soft glow of dawn over the water. 

The remaining bedrooms each tell their own story, featuring bespoke brickwork, Blackbutt veneer finishes, and built-in storage. One bedroom offers an ensuite-style setup, ideal for teenagers, guests, or an au pair seeking a little extra privacy.

The magic of this property extends beyond its walls. Designed for effortless entertaining, the alfresco patio sets the stage for unforgettable gatherings-summer barbecues, twilight garden parties, and winter bonfires under the stars. 

The sprawling, mostly level grounds provide endless opportunities for children's adventures, sporting matches, or even a dreamy riverside picnic. As the property unfolds toward the water's edge, time seems to slow-inviting you to pause, breathe, and watch the boats drift by.

A home of this calibre, where history, architecture, and nature converge, is a rare treasure. A retreat to be cherished. A legacy to be passed down.
