Timeless Architecture, Absolute Riverfront
42 Douglas Street Sherwood
Positioned on an extraordinary 2,028sqm riverfront estate beside the historic Sherwood Arboretum, this award-winning residence represents a rare opportunity to secure one of Sherwood's most prestigious riverfront homes. Built in 2002 and remodelled by Knowlman McDonald in 2012 (recognised by the Masters Builders Association), the property showcases a remarkable fusion of architectural excellence, scale and craftsmanship.
From the moment you arrive, the home reveals a refined palette of reclaimed Brisbane timbers, natural stone and expansive glass, creating a timeless elegance that feels both luxurious and deeply connected to its surroundings. The beautifully landscaped grounds extend effortlessly to the river's edge, now complemented by a brand-new private pontoon, offering an exclusive lifestyle on the water.

Bathed in natural light, the interiors feature soaring ceilings and sweeping glass panels that frame lush green vistas and invite the outdoors in. The central living area is anchored by a statement fireplace and flows seamlessly through to the dining space and a spectacular covered entertaining deck. Here, a custom stone pizza oven creates the perfect setting for year-round gatherings, while the deck steps gracefully onto manicured lawns, a sparkling pool, and the tranquil riverfront beyond.
At the heart of the home lies a chef's kitchen of exceptional scale and design, centred around a generous stone island that serves as both a casual breakfast bar and functional workspace. Custom cabinetry, premium appliances including dual ovens and a gas cooktop, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light ensure cooking and entertaining are effortless. Visual connections to the deck and gardens keep family and guests always within view.
The home offers five beautifully appointed bedrooms, thoughtfully designed for both privacy and flexibility. The upper-level master suite is a serene retreat capturing elevated treetop and river glimpses, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a spa bath and twin vanities. Three additional bedrooms provide built-in storage and leafy outlooks, while the lower-level guest or teenager retreat includes its own bathroom and a versatile office or media space.
Everyday functionality has been carefully considered with a large laundry, extensive storage, ducted and split-system air-conditioning, plantation shutters, a garage with workshop, and additional off-street parking.
Outdoors, the grounds unfold as a private riverside sanctuary. Mature trees and sculpted hedges frame expansive lawns, while a dedicated riverside viewing area offers peaceful moments overlooking the water. The pool and entertaining zones deliver a resort-like lifestyle rarely found in suburban Brisbane.
This address offers the perfect balance of natural beauty and urban convenience. With the Sherwood Arboretum next door, cafés and local shops moments away, and Sherwood Train Station and highly regarded schools nearby, everything you need is within easy reach-while the Brisbane CBD remains just a short commute away.
Opportunities to secure riverfront land of this scale and calibre are exceptionally rare. This is a home where award-winning design, prestige location, and an unparalleled riverfront lifestyle come together.
This family is now ready to move on from their cherished family home that has crafted an album of memorable life moments and pass it on to the next.
