Introducing 'Struan,' an inimitable lifestyle sanctuary, inspired by the grandeur of European architecture and set across 2,957sqm of park-like grounds, elevated above Brisbane River. The coveted riverside neighbourhood, renowned for its prestigious residences, is walking distance from Ambrose Treacy College and a five minute drive to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.

Reflecting the creative vision of G Lamprecht & Associates Architects, this stately home showcases refined living areas, complemented by superb outdoor entertaining and leisure facilities. Picturesque river views and Steve Clegg Design gardens provide serene outlooks from every angle.

The palatial single level layout features a bespoke kitchen with European appliances, executive study and four sumptuous bedrooms complete with elegant ensuites. Outside are private patios and poolside terraces gazing over the river to Chelmer's premier riverfront properties. A detached studio adjoining the four car garage offers a comfortable retreat for guests.

From the external brickwork and copper downpipes to the meticulously appointed interiors, the high level of craftsmanship is evident throughout. Internationally sourced antiquities, chandeliers and natural stone, coupled with fine timber joinery, leadlight glass and ornate plasterwork accentuate refinement. Art Deco lighting and beautiful bay window seats add to the charm.

Steeped in history, 'Struan' was first owned by Owen and Betty Fletcher, who purchased the land in 1935 after carefully selecting the site for its east facing aspect and flood free position. Alex Trewern was appointed as their architect. Betty was from Struan, Perthshire, Scotland, and the house was aptly named in memory of her beloved father and family in Scotland. 'Struan' remained in the Fletcher family until it was sold in 1969.

Spanning two expansive lots contributing to the estate's majestic street frontage, it's a grand abode in a desirable enclave, less than 10 kilometres from the CBD. The prized address is a stroll from Indooroopilly Montessori Children's House and falls in the highly sought-after Fig Tree Pocket State School catchment. In addition, Brisbane Montessori School, Indooroopilly State High, UQ and St Peters Lutheran College are within easy reach.
