The house itself is a modern Queenslander which features a master suite with an ensuite and spa, four other bedrooms, a home office, formal lounge and a teenager’s retreat.
Its perched close to the river and has a spacious deck which overlooks a swimming pool – with starting blocks from the Sydney 2000 Olympics – a tennis court and tropical gardens and is near a boat ramp and McLeod Country Golf Club.
“The balcony overlooking the property with great views is one of my favourite features. We could sit on the balcony and watch the kids play in the pool or on the tennis court,” Lazarus said.
“Our home is an oasis surrounded by bush, river and parks with the convenience of only being a few kilometres from town. Once I got home, I could shut out the world.”
Lazarus said the quiet suburb, which was also recently named as one of the city’s most tightly held pockets, was surprisingly sports central. Commentator Mark Braybrook lives just a few streets away, alongside cricketer Greg Ritchie and, outside the sporting world, the founders of iconic Kratz Jewellers live nearby.
Selling agent Alex Jordan, of McGrath Paddington, said the home was in an ideal family precinct in a suburb that was attracting grower buyer demand.
“You get a lot for your money here, but I don’t think it will stay that way … and this home is priced below replacement value. If we had to buy the block and build the pool, etcetera, it would cost closer to $3 million,” he said.
Buyer demand had strengthened across Brisbane’s western suburbs since Australia Day, Jordan said, and supply levels were still low.
“That’s having a positive impact on values and there’s very little out there for buyers to choose from.”
The suburb’s house price record sits at $2.86 million, according to Domain data.
