1 Drake Street, West End, QLD 4101

Commanding a prominent corner position in one of Brisbane's most tightly-held inner-city enclaves, this four-bedroom architectural masterpiece on 458sqm delivers an extraordinary fusion of modern refinement and timeless Queenslander character. Reimagined and rebuilt under the meticulous direction of MR Design and KJK Interiors, the home presents as a fully bespoke, tri-level sanctuary where every detail has been curated to the highest standard.

From its commanding façade and wrap-around verandah to its dual street access and meticulously landscaped native gardens, the residence exudes an immediate sense of presence and sophistication. Designed to maximise natural light from all angles, the home celebrates its elevation with soaring three-metre ceilings, expansive glazing, and a palette of natural materials including wide timber flooring, Venetian plaster, honed stone, and bespoke Navurban Tablelands joinery.

A grand central living pavilion designed for connection

The heart of the home unfolds across an expansive middle level where a dramatic architectural void, three-sided gas fireplace and sculptural Space pendant lighting come together to create a breathtaking atmosphere.
A state-of-the-art entertainer's kitchen anchors the space—an uncompromising culinary environment featuring:

• Exquisite natural stone surfaces

• An oversized statement island

• A premium Gaggenau suite including combi oven, oven, microwave, warming drawer and integrated commercial fridge/freezer

This kitchen is not simply well equipped — it signals an elevated lifestyle where design excellence meets commercial-grade performance.

Seamless indoor-outdoor living with resort-style entertaining

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors dissolve the boundary between the living pavilion and a private, fully-fenced outdoor retreat.
A covered al fresco space with built-in Artusi barbecue flows to level lawns framed by lush, mature landscaping, ensuring total privacy. The sparkling saltwater pool with water feature completes a setting ideal for both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining.
