354 Duke Road, Doonan, QLD, 4562, Australia

Marvel at the eye-catching properties on both hillsides of a much-coveted street sculpted by nature's striking verdant offerings. Take the curved driveway past bird-attracting gardens, to the residence which is framed by heleconias and commands a spectacular presence.

Open the massive pivot door. Talented award-winning architect Jolyon Robinson's creative albeit dramatic stamp with a nod to uber modern design, is evident everywhere. Fashioned with clever responses, there are expansive open plan living and dining spaces, seemingly endless polished blackbutt flooring, prodigious high and mighty house-wide walls of glass louvres, panes and doors, and topped with almost gravity-defying spatial raked ceilings.

Cool natural hues are simply stunning as is the magical light and its harmonious interplay with the surrounding natural landscape, thanks to disappearing doors which quietly connect indoors to out, all adding an undeniable sense of indulgence.

Alfresco is an oasis of calm on the two adjoining massive terraces with northerly aspect. The slightly upper terrace has a skillion roof, so is perfect as an entertaining option; the other for perhaps sun lovers. The lustrous concrete pool is certainly inviting for those who choose to walk beyond the lawn and natural reserve-like backdrop, to the dam and meandering freshwater creek, no doubt engaging with friendly fauna and local birdlife along the way.

Complementing the custom aesthetic is the generous galley kitchen with black stone-topped black timber cabinetry including large island breakfast bar with designer linear pendant. The wall of black slatted timber slide-away/hideaway cabinetry has a coffee or say preparation area and a black tiled splashback. Kitted out with multiple high-end appliances such as a Pitt gas burner cooktop and every other accoutrement, everything desired by even a fussy celebrity chef is here.

When it comes to slumber zones there are four bedrooms. What a joy waking up to birdsong in the premier suite retreat. It has two entry ways, long walk-in robe, day bed and innovative walkway to the ensuite. One wall has a long black stone and single basin-topped cabinetry with gas lift windows to enjoy nature's best exquisite views whilst washing hands. Pastel-toned green tiles feature on the outer wall and inside of the walk-in drencher shower.

In the north-wing are three carpeted bedrooms. A king retreat has an undercover terrace, a built-in robed and the ensuite with terrazzo floor and white finger wall tiles has white stone-topped cabinetry, skylight and separate entry/alternate access to purpose-built studio adjoining the garage. Two additional bedrooms have built-in robes, and slate-effect tiles in the bathroom also a deep white free-standing bath tub and sky light. Nearby is a laundry.

"This is a cracker of a residence, packed with vivacious personality, designed with flair, naturally with the latest contemporary iterations," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Roark Walsh, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 2 November 2024

It is the epitome of living and loving the good life."
