Hawthorne riverside home with private beach hits market

A Hawthorne riverfront home with 360 degree views of the Brisbane city skyline has hit the market. 

The 2,110 sqm site at 154 Virginia Avenue, boasting a 27m river frontage with private pontoon, was originally owned by a former Brisbane Lord Mayor, Clem Jones. 

It was traded in 1985 when bought by flamboyant entrepreneur James Penny, who commissioned the five level home.

The current owner doctor, athlete and games designer Peter Hates has just completed a renovation. 

It comprises five bedrooms in three separate wings, open living spaces, games and entertainment zone and five bathrooms. 

The home also features tennis court, riverside pool area with its own sandy beach, self-contained cabana, and rooftop terrace. 

There is latest smart home technology including an up to date Savant Pro system and six separate music zones throughout the house.

Located just 4km from the Brisbane CBD, the home is within close proximity to riverside parks, cafes, restaurants and cinema. 

Dwight Ferguson and Khaela Hawes of Ray White Ascot have the listing. 

The expressions of interest campaign for the property closes September 24.
