The owners got Smith Architects to overhaul the 1980s house.
The home at 22 Ellesmere Street, Yeronga, sits on a 405sq m block and has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. But this is not your average suburban home, with the property having its own in-built adventure.
Agent Jane Elvin of LJ Hooker Annerley-Yeronga listed the property as “one of a kind”.
Smith Architects designed the extension and renovation of the property four years ago, describing it on their site as “adventurous living”.
The climbing wall embraces the owners’ love of mountaineering.
“A client with a love of mountain sports and a growing family formed the foundation for this adventurous transformation and extension,” Smith Architects said of the home.
“The trust the client had in our design process allowed us to experiment with an internal climbing wall and a complete reorientation of the house which closely reflected their priorities.”
“The entry sequence through a series of contrasting enclosed and open space take guests on a unique journey before arriving at the rear private living spaces.”
Ms Elvin said “adventurous this home certainly is” with the climbing wall feature in the family zone.
Concrete floors keep the home low maintenance.
“If a love of climbing is not your style, don’t let that stop you from inspecting as the climbing wall could be removed to create a double height living room that will blend beautifully with the rest of the home.”
But she said “the little kids and big kids can enjoy the climbing wall still feeling connected to the home and outdoor activities”.
Stunning use of wood and glass to bring the outdoors in.
“This wall as mentioned can be removed which will enlarge this room, or you can leave as a feature as it is sure to be a focal point and a larger than life art piece on the wall.”
She said the home would suit young couples, established families and downsizers alike.
“It is certainly something special with or without the climbing wall. Not only a stunning home, but located in a highly sought after, prestige residential street of Yeronga with a North South aspect.”
Yeronga is just 5km from the Brisbane CBD.
Room to run and play at the back too.

IF 20-something entrepreneur Brooke Rogers could click her fingers and live anywhere in the world, she would choose Hobart.
And it would be hard to argue the point when she presents her long list of what makes the Apple Isle so attractive. “I grew up in Acton Park and our family has lived — still lives — in the same home since I was one,” she said. “But I also split my time between here and Brisbane so that is a best of both worlds situation. There are things here that you just don’t find in Brisbane, especially living in an inner-city apartment complex.
“At Acton our family owns a five acre property. We’ve got motorbikes, horses and the neighbours are nearby but not too close.
“I like to be active and adore being outside in the fresh air and sunshine.
“I’ve recently started playing golf in quarantine. My aunt and pop play and I thought I’d give it a try. On my first go I hit the green on a par three and I have loved it ever since.”

Brooke, 23, said part of the beauty of Hobart is everything feels like it is only 20 minutes away. And that the lifestyle is more relaxed here compared to life in the big smoke.
“It is fantastic that we have such easy access to beautiful beaches and nature,” she said. “At Acton we have a rural lifestyle but you can be in the city so quickly and then 20 minutes further down the road and you could be heading towards the Huon or a forest — it’s amazing.”
Like many Hobartians Brooke knows the “secret” of the Hobart lifestyle has long since gotten out.
The pre-COVID booming tourism sector is just one example of visitors’ love of the southernmost capital city and Tasmania as a whole.
“It has been very different this year because we are so used to the city coming to life in winter during events like Dark Mofo,” she said.

When Brooke is not doing pilates, playing golf, making the finals of Miss Universe Australia or working one of her many jobs — an online health and wellness business chief among them — the dream of home ownership occasionally pops up.
She said the thought of it can be “overwhelming”.
“I would not call myself a big saver! The prices have risen so high here that it can seem like it is almost unattainable,” she said. “And I do like having the flexibility to not be tied down and to be able to travel.
“I’d love to be able to visit Europe, Greece and Italy in particular, and just take my time to explore.
“I have friends who have taken the plunge into homeownership and most of them have bought land to build on. I can relate to that. I’d like to be able to personalise my home and make it perfect for my lifestyle.
“Although I spend time in Brisbane, that city feels like somewhere that I go. Whereas Hobart feels like it will always be home. Most of my family is here, I adore the way of life here, and I think when the time comes to build my own home I would not want to do that anywhere but Hobart.”
