Less than 30 minutes from the CBD is this perfect picture of Tuscan countryside with a striking European-designed residence, where all three of its levels are accessible via an internal lift.
The home's appealing 16th-century Mediterranean elegance extends past the façade to an interior steeped in rich grandeur and opulence with no expense spared.
Detailed wall lighting, dark timbers, parquetry flooring, bespoke woodwork, high ceilings, wide hallways and traditional furnishings reflect an era and geography far removed from reality.
Indeed, some of the fixtures and fittings have been directly imported from Italy.
This truly is an escape to the country, while remaining within touch of the city.
At the top of a circular paved driveway is a solid double walnut door which opens to a sweeping granite staircase and magnificent foyer. It exudes a rather astonishing sense of affluence.
Inside are numerous lounge and sitting rooms, a handsome study suitably decorated for business activities, a temperature-controlled wine cellar large enough to accommodate a tasting table, a well-appointed kitchen with butler's pantry, and a kitchenette.
There is an extremely large master bedroom with ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are king-sized and also have an ensuite each.
A separate powder room is included in the floorplan as is a self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom flat with private access which is ideal for an au pair or extended family.
Sip an aperitif on the sprawling terrace which overlooks the courtyard toward Pullenvale Forest Park.
There are four terraces in total, as well as two balconies.
This property provides ample prepared land for a swimming pool, tennis court and stables.
Pullenvale State School, childcare facilities, Pullenvale Marketplace and public transport links are all within a 2km radius.
Only minutes away are Kenmore Village, Kenmore State School and Kenmore State High School.
