REFINED WATERFRONT LUXURY

WORDS: PHOTOGRAPHY

A new level of waterfront luxury has arrived in Brisbane with Metricon opening their stunning Signature by Metricon show home  — The Modena.

 

The Modena is showcased at one of Brisbane’s newest blue-ribbon addresses, Quay at Newport, with the home perfectly suiting the relaxed boating and canal lifestyle of this exclusive community.

 

This contemporary new show home is a masterpiece of modern design, with clean lines and rich use of textures, colours and materials to deliver an inventive and high impact façade. Located at 179 Quay Circuit in Newport and measuring over 515 m2, it is a spacious entertainers dream.

 

Functionality has been carefully considered in every detail to deliver the ultimate lifestyle home: A large open-plan kitchen, with the practicality of a butler’s pantry and a wet bar, all overlooking the large dining zone, rightfully set in the heart of the home for entertaining.

 

A true entertainer’s delight, the expansive, two storey stunner boasts four bedrooms, three living areas and three sprawling outdoor rooms, one of which is located off the master suite. And, for those who love a blue outlook, it is no coincidence that the glistening, azure waters of Newport Marina are visible from almost every vantage point, with the Modena designed to celebrate and showcase the sun-soaked Queensland way of life.

 

Upon entry, high ceilings and a wide hallway set the elegant, open-plan scene, with the home’s functional, family friendly design highlighted as soon as you walk through the door. A formal retreat and spacious study are positioned at the front of the home, away from the hustle and bustle of the main living areas.

 

 

Located at the back of the home are the kitchen, living and dining areas, arranged in an L-shape to make entertaining a breeze. Two separate, undercover outdoor rooms are also located off the living areas, with stacker doors along three walls opening up to accentuate the indoor-outdoor living the Queensland climate affords.

 

An open staircase off the dining room, butler’s pantry off the kitchen and impressive void between the two storeys add to the Modena’s relaxed ambience, with the generous spaces flowing seamlessly into one another to give them home a laid-back yet luxurious feel.

 

Upstairs, a separate leisure room offers a cosy space for kids to kick back and watch a movie, but it is the master suite that really gives this family-friendly home a sense of modern splendour. Here, a generous ensuite with his-and-her-basins, double shower and free-standing bath overlooking the sparkling canal, as well as a walk-in-robe and private balcony, all makes for a serious parents’ retreat.

 

• The Signature by Metricon Modena is open for your viewing pleasure from 1pm to 5pm Monday to Wednesday and 10am to 5pm on the weekends. To find out more, visit www.metricon.com.au or phone 1300 metricon today.
