THIS four bedroom Conrad Gargett Riddel masterpiece of sustainable contemporary family living in West End is located in one of Brisbane’s most desirable enclaves.
This low-maintenance architect designed masterbuilt home offers a level of unparalleled beauty and luxury in family living, all in a stunningly unique location.
After living in West End for more than 30 years, the owners say they won’t be moving far when they sell their stunning riverfront home at 105 Ryan St, West End.
Owners Ben Wilson, the recently retired CEO of Bicycle Queensland, and his wife Shelley have lived at 105 Ryan St since its construction eight years ago, with their three children and dog Tipper.
“It’s a wonderful family home. It’s modern but a green build, even recycling 80 per cent of the materials from the previous house on the site so it has a sense of warmth and belonging,” Mr Wilson said.
“Also the river provides a massive tranquil parkland teeming with bird life and recreation opportunities,” Mr Wilson said, who regularly kayaks for exercise.
As their older children have left home the family is downsizing within West End with the possibility of an overseas move on the horizon.
“West End’s the best inner city suburb by far. It has it all - a great school community plus interesting people and exciting eateries. We love its closeness to city and the South Bank cultural precincts and the ease of public transport and bikeways,” Mr Wilson said.
Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire says there has been strong early interest in the home which will be auctioned on-site this Saturday at 2:30pm.
“What a house and what a location? West End has long been known for its vibrant community and amazing lifestyle,” Mr Lancashire said.
“I have to applaud the architects of this house for its innovative and sustainable design features, it’s truly special and very rare.”
