SUBURB records are being smashed all over the city as the pandemic fuels a flight to premium property.
The latest is a contemporary riverfront home in the sleepy suburb of Graceville in Brisbane’s west, which has just changed hands for $6.3 million — beating the previous biggest home sale in the suburb by $2.3 million.
Designed by the multi-award-winning group Base Architecture, the property at 59 Molonga Terrace was owned by Chris and Letitia Vitale of residential property developer, Point Corp, fame.
The sale, to a local buyer, was negotiated by Heath Williams and Ann-Karyn Fraser of Place – New Farm.
The house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms and sits on a 1369 sqm riverfront block.
Think luxury industrial living, featuring raw and polished concrete, natural timbers, and large expanses of glass for overlooking the Brisbane River.
The three-level property has a lift to take you between floors, which are open plan.
A gas fireplace and soaring void on the middle level seamlessly connects the indoors to the outdoors, where there is a built-in barbecue, pool, landscaped gardens and a timber deck.
The new owners can party the night away in a soundproofed bar area, with large wine fridge.
There’s also a fully integrated sound system and feature lighting.
CoreLogic records show the previous record residential home sale in Graceville was held by 95 Bank Road, which sold for $3.9 million in 2018.
Last month, Raby Bay’s sale price record was beaten when Joseph Lordi of McGrath Estate Agents sold a waterfront home for $8.5 million.
And in nearby Wynnum, a property at 97 Petersen Street has just sold offmarket for a new record of $2.85 million through Place – Bulimba.
