The story
Commissioned by the Tait family, timber merchants who used the residence to showcase their trade, Thistledoon retains extensive timber interiors, leadlight windows and detailed joinery. Flood free and framed by established gardens, the property has expansive views across both reaches of the Brisbane River towards Long Pocket. Remarkably, only two families have owned the home since it was built.

Living
The formal living and dining rooms reveal much of the home’s original character. Seven species of timber feature within the formal lounge, complemented by striped timber floorboards, dark ceiling beams, coffered detailing, built-in cabinetry and leadlight windows. Generous openings connect the rooms, while doors to the verandah bring natural light and river views inside.
The river-facing kitchen pairs snow white stone benchtops with low-sheen two-pack cabinetry, plantation shutters and cork flooring. A broad built-in window seat overlooks the water, while Miele gas and induction cooking, an AEG steam oven and generous preparation space support everyday living and entertaining.
On the lower level, a substantial second entertaining lounge, separate access, additional accommodation, kitchenette and second laundry provide considerable flexibility for extended family, guests or multigenerational living.




Retreat
The master bedroom includes an ensuite, walk-in robe and adjoining sunroom, finished in a light neutral palette with French doors opening towards the garden. Four additional bedrooms are positioned across the two levels, including a richly timber lined room with leadlight bay windows and an integrated window seat. An office provides the option of a sixth bedroom, with four bathrooms in total.




Grounds & river
Wide timber verandahs and a substantial entertaining deck overlook the river and established grounds. A garden terrace and courtyard sit closer to the residence, while landscaped gardens extend towards a broad waterfront lawn, creating a rare sense of depth and privacy for an inner-Brisbane riverfront holding.
At the water’s edge, a rowing shed and private pontoon provide direct access to the Brisbane River. Remnants of rock pools dating from the 1930s remain within the grounds, adding another layer to the property’s history.
