Your Domain: Brisbane's award-winning house of 2018 is now for sale

Sitting pretty on the waters of Pumicestone Passage within Banksia Waters north of Brisbane is Kwilena – a home named after the Aboriginal word for dolphin. Sleek and smart, it’s no question why.

The home was named Masters Builders’ Brisbane House of the Year in 2018 but was not listed for sale at the time. Now, a new buyer can be proud of owning Brisbane’s 2018 Residential Kitchen of the Year and Residential Swimming Pool of the Year.

“It’s no wonder it has taken out so many awards,” selling agent Claire Uttley of RE/MAX Advanced said. “[It’s] a completely mesmerising home to be in. Not a single detail has been missed and no expense spared in its immaculate design and build.”

The canal-side home is striking from the water. A retractable window wall opens out onto an expansive terrace with two pools – one 20 metre lap pool and a smaller leisure pool with transparent panel overlooking the other.

If you’re a water sports enthusiast, a 16-metre secured pontoon has space for two jet skis and a boat. Top off a long day on the water with a teppanyaki barbecue bar, complete with wine fridge, on the terrace, where you can watch the sun set over the Glasshouse Mountains.

Inside, the award-winning kitchen is a tech-head’s dream. Touch-controlled cupboards, Miele appliance suite with a coffee machine and induction cooktop, and a sparkling water tap.

Head upstairs from the ground level and you’ll find a “man cave to die for” according to Uttley.

“[It’s] cleverly designed with six Smart Sony TVs that mirror each other, so you can sit facing each other and have a conversation whilst watching three different sports at the same time,” she said.

If you think six televisions is a lot, think again. There’s another six to be found throughout the rest of the house as well as a state-of-the-art cinema room. Lighting can be completely controlled from a mobile phone and there are two iPad control stations to manage the home’s security and technology systems.

The four-bedroom home is perfectly positioned one hour from Brisbane’s CBD and one hour from the best beaches on the Sunshine Coast. Uttley said the guest bedrooms are so well equipped, she has had buyers surprised they’re not the master.

“There are no words to capture the emotions you feel when you’re in this house,” Uttley said. “Anybody who comes through is astounded by its elegance and class. It’s a pure art piece, but completely functional and liveable.”
