Timeless elegance on show

This spectacular Hamptons-style estate is set on the largest single block allotment in one of the city’s most expensive riverfront streets. Designed by renowned architect Jared Poole, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house on an 836sq m lot at 125 Commodore Dr, Surfers Paradise has views over one of the widest sections of Gold Coast waterways, while the front of the home overlooks the sportsgrounds of TSS private school.

It is marketed by Robbie Graham, of Ray White, and goes to auction on May 4.

Timelessly elegant, the home is grand yet warm, impressive yet inviting, with attention to details evident throughout.

The layout includes formal and informal areas both indoors and out, and multiple living zones across three levels, as well as a study, gymnasium and ground floor guest suite.

A formal entrance makes a statement with 7m ceilings, while design highlights include large windows, solid timber oak floorboards, coffered ceilings with recessed lighting, elegant timber wall panels, custom cornices and surround sound throughout.

The kitchen is both striking and practical, equally suited for intimate family dinners or catering for a large function, with a solid Calacatta marble island bench, integrated fridge, freezer and drinks drawer, plus plenty of storage and benchspace. The butler’s pantry has integrated double Miele dishwashers and fridge, as well as a professional grade Bertazzoni freestanding oven.

Five ensuited bedrooms include the spectacular waterfront master suite with views each way along the Main River, a lounging area, walk-through dressing room and wardrobe that connects to a luxury ensuite with large double vanity, triple shower head shower and a deep soak bath.

Elegant French doors and plantation shutters open outdoors to manicured lawns and grand magnolia trees, as well as an elevated entertaining terrace by the water, heated 15m infinity-edge pool and built in firepit setting.

Throughout the home, classic stylings combine with the latest technology such as state of the art automation controlling the lighting, blinds, alarm, audio, as well as ducted air-conditioning and advanced security system.

The basement garage features six car spaces, a wine cellar, storage and mudroom.
