A home built on the site of a house destroyed by fire has hit the market in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held inner-city pockets, where just eight houses are currently for sale as Woolloongabba prepares for major transformation.

Parquetry, a leopard-print Bisazza splashback, an enclosed terrace and thoughtfully connected spaces feature in Sophia and Ben Cameron’s 1,166sqm family home, now on the market after 16 years of ownership.

Never-before-seen photos reveal the interior of Bowerbank, the 1914 Ipswich landmark now for sale furnished. Inspections are strictly by invitation only, with agents expecting a new sale record for the city.

A Melbourne builder inspired by the enduring craftsmanship of Rome’s Colosseum travelled to Italy to personally hand-pick more than 2.5 tonnes of Calacatta marble for the kitchen of a newly completed Doncaster East home.

The property management fee is easy to find. It’s on the statement every month. The more expensive costs are often the ones that build silently in the background.

Brisbane property values remain almost 15 per cent higher than a year ago, but the city has slipped slightly from its May peak. For owners of higher-value family homes, the change is worth understanding.
