This Donovan Hill designed, award winning home gives little away when viewed from the streetscape yet once you enter the wonderful design layers are revealed.

The Hamilton House, which won the prestigious Robin Dods State Award for Residential Architecture & the National Award for Residential Architecture as well as the National Interior Architecture Award in 2007, is a carefully arranged envelope of concrete folds which perfectly surround the 3 level interior; maximising privacy and the views to the river.

An antique Indian front door welcomes and opens to the ground level which has a guest bedroom and bathroom, a double car lockup garage; a home theatre that seats 12 and a recording studio.

Head up the stairs to the main living area which incorporates seamless indoor and outdoor living with an internal courtyard joining the kitchen and lounge area; a wonderful outdoor entertaining space with a plunge pool overlooking the Brisbane River.

The thought and detail that went into this home are evident on every level. Featuring 150 year old Jarrah floorboards; wood detailing in the luxurious bathrooms, all with marble detailing hand-cut from two slabs of Calacatta marble; C-bus lighting, ducted air-conditioning, a fully integrated sound system, automatic irrigation system fed by a 30,000 litre underground rainwater tank, a 1000 bottle wine cellar and direct access to the river walkway.

The kitchen looks over the bamboo lined courtyard and features all the latest Gaggenau appliances. Also on this level is a guest bedroom, bathroom and a study. Stairs to the second level lead to the remaining 3 bedrooms; two which share a bathroom and the third, a wonderfully spacious master suite with ample wardrobe space, a marble lined ensuite with a soaker bath that has a view of the river and a private balcony. There is also a purpose-built open plan office area on this level.

The house is set on 824m2 and adjoins a 542m2 block which is also for sale by separate negotiation.
