116 Rockbourne Terrace, Paddington, Qld 4064

Like a gallery of living art, this extraordinary residence turns architecture, landscape and family life into one captivating composition. Elevated on a rare 1,166sqm parcel in premier Paddington, this Derek Trebilcock-transformed home reveals something beautiful at every turn, with sunlight moving across stone, shifting reflections on the pool, branches stirring beyond the glass and city lights glimmering through the trees. Yet beyond its visual impact lies something more affecting - a house that changes how you feel, inviting you to breathe deeply, slow down and reconnect with the people and places that matter.

Shielded by greenery, the setting is extraordinarily peaceful, with silence punctuated by birdsong and breezes filtering through the canopy. The architecture responds intuitively, drawing fresh air and natural light through interiors shaped by sightlines and symmetry. Windows transform the treescape into a series of living artworks, while designer and directional lighting, plus integrated speakers, shift the ambience as day becomes night.

There is a tactile richness, with louvre detailed New Guinea rosewood doors and parquetry floors bringing warmth beneath ceilings soaring to 4 metres, while travertine, marble, Sicis and Bisazza tiles form a layered palette amongst finely crafted details. Hand-painted silk and other feature wallpapers add moments of artistry and create a seamless narrative across the space.

Lounges on both levels provide places to come together or withdraw, while open offices let work and study settle naturally into the day. In the entertainer's kitchen, mornings begin around the breakfast nook and conversation flows as meals are prepared with Miele appliances, a custom Qasair rangehood, an integrated Liebherr fridge and a butler's pantry.

As the interiors open to the landscape, entertaining becomes a journey through a collection of atmospheric spaces. Choose a bottle from the private cellar, mix drinks in the pool house and watch the water glisten like a sculptural feature. Children can move freely across the lawns while adults linger nearby, before everyone gathers on the firepit patio as the sun lowers through the trees. Later, dinner can be served in the enclosed terrace, where underfloor heating and panoramas create an intimate setting immersed in natural beauty.

Four bedrooms and four bathrooms offer privacy and flexibility for every phase of family life. Downstairs, the master suite feels wonderfully removed yet remains connected to the children. Leafy views and the shimmering pool are visible from bed, the alfresco terrace waits just beyond, and the ensuite bathtub invites long, restorative soaks.

A large laundry incorporates a chute and storage, while gated access leads to an oversized garage with a storeroom and secure workshop. Zoned ducted air-conditioning, a gas fireplace, solar panels, rainwater storage, irrigation and an alarm work in the background.

More than a remarkable house, this is an enduring expression of artistry. With retail and dining 300m away, and the famed Paddington precinct 750m from your door, days can begin with coffee at cafes, brunch with friends, and strolls to the antique stores, galleries and boutiques. Catch matches at Suncorp Stadium, walk 250m to bus stops, and access premier schools, all in an exclusive enclave just 4.5km from the CBD.
