Offered to the market for only the second time since its original construction in 2004, this exceptional riverfront residence presents a rare opportunity to secure one of Riverside Gardens' most distinguished homes. Under the current owners' tenure, every inch of this property has been carefully enhanced and upgraded to the highest of standards, resulting in a home that feels brand new in every sense. From the stunning new kitchen and bathrooms completed in 2023 to the refreshed interiors, elegant finishes and contemporary updates throughout, no detail has been overlooked. The result is a truly move-in-ready home where the next fortunate owners won't have to lift a finger for years to come.

With an overseas posting keeping the current owners abroad, they have entrusted their much-loved home to long-term tenants who have treated the property as their own this whole time. Their care and pride of place have ensured that the home has been meticulously maintained, while also allowing for the completion of extensive renovations that further elevate its appeal. Set on an impressive riverfront allotment with parkland and mature trees as its backdrop, this residence perfectly balances sophistication, space and practicality. Whether you're a professional couple seeking a low-maintenance luxury lifestyle or a growing family looking to establish roots in a premier riverside location, this property offers an unmatched combination of quality, comfort, and setting.
