The five-bedroom home at 81 Ormadale Road in Yeronga attracted two local bidders, with a couple from Chelmer nabbing the keys.
Bidding opened at $1.4 million and climbed steadily in $50,000 increments before reaching $1.51 million, close to the reserve, where it was declared on the market.
Co-selling agent Alicia Wilson of Ray White said it was a fantastic result that showcased buyer demand in Yeronga, even for homes in the flood zone.
“If this house was 500 metres up the hill it would have sold for even more,” Wilson said.
She said the home had remained in the same family for 20 years and had been well-maintained and repaired after the floods. The owner was downsizing to a South Brisbane unit.
In Teneriffe, a three-bedroom apartment in the heritage-listed Winchcombe Carson Woolstore sold for $1.655 million on Saturday with two registered bidders battling it out over the phone – from interstate and overseas – for the address, 9/22 Florence Street.
Selling agent Ben Percival of Percival Property Group said the overseas buyer, bidding from New Zealand, won the auction.

“It was very fast, and it opened high at $1.585 million – we didn’t expect that,” he said. “It then went up to $1.6 million and jumped to $1.65 million.
The 136-square-metre apartment features hardwood floors and a large balcony.
Meanwhile, a Noosa Heads holiday home without ocean views sold for $15 million at auction – setting a benchmark for the coveted Little Cove enclave.
The seven-bedroom property at 2/1-7 Bayview Road is now the highest-selling non-waterfront home, sans a Laguna Bay view, and is one of Queensland’s top-10 property sales clocked this year.

Designed and built by Sunshine Coast interior designer and developer duo Deborah and Glen Watson, the multi-level home called Lumiere is their fourth project in the region.
In 2017, the pair snapped up two adjoining blocks of “virgin” land for just under $3 million combined, transforming them into a pair of trophy homes over almost four years. Their neighbouring property, Coco Prive, fetched $13.5 million in 2021.
Bidding for Lumiere opened at $10 million, with two of the three bidders duelling it out until just past the $14 million mark.
“At times it was like pulling teeth,” said selling agent Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate.
“We’d get $50,000 rises and then it would jump up by $400,000.”
The auction paused at $14.35 million for negotiations with the sellers, before resuming and reaching the final figure of $15 million.
“Deborah and Glen are over the moon. For them, this home was such a labour of love,” Miller said.
“Deb was the mastermind behind the floorplan and of all the other projects they have done this was the one she allowed herself to personalise.
“Passing the baton was bittersweet … Deb still talks about sitting on that vacant block when it was just a sand dune, with a sketch pad and a pencil.”
While Miller declined to disclose the reserve price, he said it was in line with the result. He added the buyers were lured in by the home’s rainforest views and its dual-living layout as they would potentially open it up as a holiday rental.
The home features seven bathrooms, six car spaces, Carrara marble fireplaces, two hot tubs, two iridescent-tiled salt pools with floating day beds, an infra-red-sauna and a Tesla car charging port.
While Lumiere now holds the record for a non-waterfront property, the suburb house price record is double that – achieved at 43 Witta Circle in May through Tom Offermann’s agency.
There were 229 scheduled auctions in Brisbane over the past week. By Saturday evening, Domain Group recorded a preliminary auction clearance rate of 41 per cent from 159 reported results across the week, while 16 auctions were withdrawn. Withdrawn auctions are counted as unsold properties when calculating the clearance.
AMP Capital chief economist Shane Oliver said while Brisbane’s property market was continuing to outperform Melbourne’s and Sydney’s, the 41 per cent clearance rate was soft and reflected the impact of high interest rates.
“Average mortgage rates are now sitting at 6.5 per cent, and that’s having the effect of pushing up listings as some homeowners struggle with their mortgages,” Oliver said.
“And with economists debating over whether it will be a February or May rate cut, that’s keeping a lot of homebuyers on the sidelines.
“The motivation to sell in Sydney or Melbourne and move to Queensland is also tapering off, and that’s starting to weigh on demand,” he said.

“The architectural aspirations for the proposal are focused towards providing a vibrant and contemporary residential building which still retains a human scale,” the documents said
“The bulk and scale of the building form have been actively reduced through considered design techniques.”

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom property at 399 Brisbane Corso in Yeronga was designed by Australian architect Luigi Rosselli and has a very specific aesthetic.
Rosselli is the same architect behind plans for a new home on the record-breaking $45 million block which sold in Sydney’s Tamarama.
Sarah Hackett and Matthew Foote of Place Estate Agents New Farm are the listing agents. A representative for Hackett reveals the vendors are “looking for offers of more than $7 million”.
Rosselli also says on the listing that although the Yeronga property is the first Brisbane home he has designed, there are three others in the pipeline.
The first floor contains the pool, floating staircase, entertainment lounge and aquarium.
The second contains the main living zones and terrace, while the third features the bedrooms with the “captain’s bridge” taking centre stage in the master.

The kitchen will delight foodies with its stylish Carrara marble benchtops and top-notch Gaggenau appliances.
There is also a wine cellar, media room, outdoor kitchen and eight-metre pontoon.
Yeronga is a southern riverside suburb of Brisbane, 5km from the CBD. It’s a popular suburb, having doubled its value in five years.
Domain data reveals the median house price for the suburb is $1.6 million, highlighting an increase of 26.5 per cent year on year and 104.6 per cent over five years.

Member for Miller Mark Bailey said the private investment would boost the local economy
“Parkside Yeronga will be home to hundreds of Queenslanders who will live in a diverse range of housing styles in an area benefiting from a range of pre-existing and new community facilities,” Bailey said
Yeronga Heart director Bill Bennett said the project would produce well-designed
innovative and affordable housing choices only 6km from the Brisbane CBD
“Parkside Yeronga will address the area’s growing housing needs
to independent retirement apartments with onsite care
“Future residents will benefit from established road and public transport access as well as new facilities within the precinct,” Bennett said
Yeronga flourishes as a serene suburb that enjoys nature’s embrace with its many parks and riverside pathways
while being mere moments from Brisbane’s CBD
Browse Domain’s property and lifestyle magazines
ranging from classic Queenslanders on leafy streets to grand residences straddling the riverfront
LJ Hooker Annerley principal Jane Elvin is a third-generation resident and understands Yeronga’s ability to draw back those who grew up here and want to nurture their own families in its idyllic setting
“This tradition of staying or returning to Yeronga speaks volumes about its magnetic appeal,” Elvin says
easy access to Queensland’s top universities
it’s the quintessential environment for family life.”
The suburb’s property market is indicative of its desirability
According to the latest Domain House Price Report
its current median house price is $1.607 million – a dramatic increase of 104.8 per cent over the past five years
and 22.2 per cent up in the most recent year alone
encompassing efficient transport networks and proximity to essential services
plays a key role in its investment appeal,” Elvin says

Farah Obeid and Anton Hudak are partners in life and business. They own the beloved Baladi coffee trailer on the Brisbane Corso and say their loyal customers enabled their recognition by The Coffee Commune as <a href="https://brisbanesbestcafe.com.au/leaderboard/">Brisbane’s best cafe </a>for 2023 among almost 900 contenders.
“When we imagine buying our future home, it’s difficult to envision anywhere but Yeronga,” Obeid says. “As immigrants without immediate family members in Australia, we’ve found a sense of home here thanks to the local community.”
Sharing her appreciation for fellow local businesses, Obeid highlights foodie gems like Italian restaurant Osteria Epoca and Thai restaurant Yim Thai.
She also points out The Paint Factory as a true hidden gem in the form of a creative cultural hub.
“Being part of what makes Yeronga so special is such an honour,” Obeid adds.
“We’re currently tirelessly transforming a double-decker bus, which we purchased in Adelaide and drove all the way back to Brisbane – a new cafe-restaurant soon to grace the area.”
A change to a development application approval has been lodged for Multiple Dwelling and Centre Activities
located at 26-38 Shottery Street and 7 Cowper Street
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/?attachment_id=77811" rel="attachment wp-att-77811"></a>
Designed by Wiltshire Stevens Architecture
the proposal seeks eight seven (87) residential apartments within a residential building with a maximum height of five (5) storeys
The changes simply seek to decrease the total number of approved units
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/?attachment_id=77814" rel="attachment wp-att-77814"></a>
The facade and appearance of the development have changed to accommodate layout amendments based on reimagined architectural design
The design has softened the building&#8217;s appearance
curved edges and increased the amount of landscaping
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/?attachment_id=77813" rel="attachment wp-att-77813"></a>
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/?attachment_id=77810" rel="attachment wp-att-77810"></a>
The planners at <a href="https://www.tdplanning.com.au/">Tam Dang Planning</a> state “The overall architectural changes are ameliorative in nature
an increased setback to the upper level contributes to the podium style of the lower levels
with breaks in form (most notably the green link and retention of stepped roof design) retained in the revised layout&#8221;
&#8220;The introduction of curved edges to both balconies and select roof forms
in addition to the increase in landscaping and use of cascading planting above ground further softens the treatment of each elevation
The main entry to the building from the Shottery Street frontage has been further emphasised through the co-location to the porte-cochere and green link
This assists in maintaining a human scale with improved amenity for both residents onsite and within the respective streetscape.”
<a href="https://yourneighbourhood.com.au/?attachment_id=77812" rel="attachment wp-att-77812"></a>
The proposal seeks 141 car park spaces to 141 spaces within 2 basement levels and has access to Cowper Street
A porte-cochere is provided to Shottery Street for refuse collection

built form to these public interfaces is well articulated and designed to manage the potential impacts of bulk and scale on the public realm&#8221;
&#8220;The softening of any visual impacts and building bulk is further achieved by the inclusion of increased setbacks to the building at the upper three levels and provision of landscape setbacks including deep planting areas adjacent to the proposed parkland area as well as all site boundaries.”

Yeronga station in Brisbane has reopened for train services following extensive construction works to rebuild the station as part of Cross River Rail
Between closing last year and reopening on Monday 28 March
outdated station have been demolished and rebuilt ahead of the next phase of construction works
Platforms 1 and 2 are now high-level platforms and a third platform has been built
while sections of the new pedestrian overpass have been lifted into place over the rail corridor
focus at Yeronga has shifted towards completing the pedestrian overpass
These upgrades are expected to be completed by mid to late 2022
Those requiring lift access should continue to use Yeerongpilly station until these upgrades are completed
More information on ongoing works at Yeronga station, as well as Salisbury to Fairfield station upgrades, <a href="https://crossriverrail.qld.gov.au/stations-routes/salisbury-to-fairfield-line/">can be found at the dedicated webpage.</a>

Designed by <a href="https://cpoarchitects.com.au/">CPO Architects</a>
the proposal seeks a single storey childcare centre over the disused bowls green of the Yeronga Bowls club site
The proposal seeks to protect the existing streetscape with a design consistent with the surrounding residential form
The proposal will retain the clubs history and integrate retained items into the redevelopment

The planners at <a href="http://www.tpalliance.com.au">Town Planning Alliance</a> state
&#8220;The MacGregor Childcare Centre is proposed within the Sport and recreation zone at the site previously used for the Yeronga Bowls Club which has ceased operation on this portion of the site and the site onsold
Alternative sport and recreation land uses have been explored and deemed not appropriate for a range of reasons
largely to do with the small size of the site and amenity impacts on nearby residents
a Childcare Centre is proposed on the site as a compatible use
with reference to the Sport and recreation zone&#8221;
&#8220;The development on this site has been designed to sensitively pay tribute to the historical use of this site as part of the Yeronga Bowls Club
the use of the site as a Bowls Club has long ceased with the sale of the site to the applicant
Although the heritage significant fabric on this site was relocated through a Heritage Exemption Certificate
the historical use of the site as a bowls club is not forgotten
the proposed layout and design of the development seeks to pay tribute to the previous use of the site&#8220;
The proposal includes 655.3sqm of gross floor area
980.5sqm (43.1%) of site cover over the 2,275sqm site

a contemporary Yeronga home offers the perfect blend of multi-generational living and luxury waterfront lifestyle
Leanne and Bryan Pullar bought 359 Brisbane Corso in 2004
fulfilling their long-held dream of residing on the Brisbane River
“My husband and I met when we were 16 and we always wanted to buy a place on the river that faced north,” Mrs Pullar explained
“Everything we did was towards that and then we came across this place at Yeronga and it had the perfect aspect.”
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-yeronga-144554684?sourcePage=rea:p4ep:property-details&amp;sourceElement=avm-currently-advertised-view-listing">Set on a 916sq m block, the home spans three levels</a> and includes four bedrooms
rumpus room and sub-terranean wine cellar along with a self-contained granny flat
the Pullars have lovingly upgraded and added to the home
completing a series of renovations to accommodate their family
and in the years since they’ve lived in nearly every room,” Mrs Pullar said
at one stage my mother needed to live in Brisbane
and there’s another bedroom adjacent to it on the same level so other family members could stay there when they came to visit.”
The home’s evolution has seen it effortlessly cater to all stages of family life – from a busy household with three teens to adult children visiting with their young families
“It’s an ideal home for a multi-generational family,” Mrs Pullar said
“It works because there are a lot of areas where you can have privacy but there are also amazing spaces where you can come together.”
A key feature of the property is an expansive covered deck with barbecue
“We spend most of our time on that deck looking out onto the river
pelicans and it’s so beautiful in the morning with the sun coming up
it’s like a mirror reflecting the sky including the most beautiful pink sunsets
The vast back deck adds to the home’s entertaining credentials
with the home hosting countless family events over the years
including major milestone birthdays and even a wedding
“It’s been a great house for entertaining,” Mrs Pullar said
“The whole house is designed for ease of living
right down to stations in the kitchen so you can all prepare meals together while talking.”

she noted the property’s location and the welcoming neighbourhood were also major drawcards
“You can walk to South Bank or the University of Queensland
“We’ve also taken our boat to South Bank for dinner or to Moreton Island and Tangalooma.”
After two decades living in her dream riverfront home
Mrs Pullar said the time had come to downsize
“We’ll be sad to go as it’s a beautiful house
but it needs a family to fill it,” she said
“Everyone loves this home as you walk in and it instantly feels like you’re on holiday.”

There aren&#8217;t many estates in Queensland that exude true old-world charm
but the riverside mansion at 19 Ormadale Road
is without a doubt one of the finest the state has ever seen

immaculate amenities and attention to detail that will leave prospective buyers wide-eyed
providing ample space for spectacular gardens at both the front and rear of the property
as well as a competition-sized tennis court
infinity pool and an alfresco dining area with attached kitchen
Upon arrival at the discrete entrance gates
you need only venture down the driveway past the clipped arrival courtyard gardens to enjoy a first impression of the home in all of its grandeur
the property covers three distinct levels in total
The solid timber doors open onto a lavish entrance foyer with natural timber ceilings that stretch nearly eight metres in height and a sprawling staircase to the upper and lower floors

With black and white chessboard-like tiling found in the foyer and alfresco dining area

Four of the five bedrooms enjoy double doors that open up onto the 133m² balcony
which serves up views over the gardens at the rear of the property and out across the Brisbane River and the St Lucia Golf Course beyond.googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-ArticlesPOS4'); });

It also includes the sixth and final bedroom
which is attached to a self-contained studio apartment that is complete with a kitchen

to the European grandeur of the main residence and its thoughtfully considered details
there&#8217;s just so much to love about 19 Ormadale Road
The property is represented by Ray White New Farm and is heading to auction at 9:30 AM on October 15th

Governing body for football and futsal in Queensland
Two former Q-League clubs from Brisbane’s southside are preparing for a breakthrough season in 2022 after being awarded licences to join the FQPL
Yeronga Eagles and FC Old Bridge – formed by migrant communities from El Salvador and Bosnia respectively – will play in FQPL 6 next season after participating in Football Queensland’s multicultural Q-League competition
Yeronga Eagles President Julio Menendez said the Q-League provided the club with a springboard to be admitted into the FQPL pyramid
“The Q-League was important for us to demonstrate to Football Queensland that we are an ambitious club,” said Menendez
Yeronga Eagles will continue to honour its Salvadorian heritage through its blue and white colours
its canteen offerings and its annual summer Copa America tournament
Menendez said the club would serve pupusas
The Eagles have also reached an agreement with Football Queensland to have a small silhouette map of El Salvador on the back of its jersey
“It’s not just the Salvadorian community – the Latin community in general have embraced Yeronga entering the FQPL,” said Menendez
“We will try and keep the cultural and community side of things
the absolute focus of the club is to move up the football pyramid.”
former Q-League champions FC Old Bridge will proudly serve traditional Bosnian cevapi and lepinja bread at their newly built clubhouse and café at Russ Hall Park in Salisbury
Club Vice-President and long-serving captain Fadil Hadziahmetovic said admission to the FQPL is “a milestone for our whole community”
which takes its name from Bosnia’s iconic Ottoman bridge which spans the Neretva River
is mostly run by Bosnian-Australians who fled the Yugoslav War in the 1990s
and we’ve been fighting for years for the club to stay alive through all the ups and downs,” said Hadziahmetovic
“As the Q-League became a lot more professional
it made us get a lot more serious and ambitious as a club
and we’re already getting calls from players of Yugoslavian background who want to play for us
“The community engagement has been fantastic
We’ve got a lot of people from Salisbury involved and every time we put on a working bee
FQ CEO Robert Cavallucci said the progression of Yeronga Eagles and FC Old Bridge illustrates the pathway from community football to the advanced pyramid
“Football Queensland established the Q-League in 2019 to assist refugee and migrant communities build capacity and confidence,” said Cavallucci
“We are pleased to report the competition has experienced extraordinary growth over the past 12 months
with teams from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds
“Yeronga and Old Bridge are the first clubs to make the leap from the Q-League to our new FQPL pyramid
which shows the power of connected competitions for aspirational clubs.”

Susie O’Neill’s family home has sold at auction
Eight-time Olympic swimming champion Susie O’Neill sold her riverfront family home of 19 years at auction over the weekend for $3.055million
Queensland’s Madame Butterfly bought the house for $1.3 million in 2001 with her husband
after she retired from competitive swimming following the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games

going toe-to-toe with only $5000 separating the bidders in a nailbiting finish
“It was almost like an Olympic race to the end,” Ray White New Farm selling agent Christine Rudolph said
Property professional Sam Kelso represented one family and stood close to the heated swimming pool with its counter-current swimming machine to make the opening bid of $2.5 million
The Brisbane River from the property at 401 Brisbane Corso
The second family was inside the Harry Poulos-designed home with its spacious entrance lined with indigenous art
and was on the Gold Coast supporting her daughter who is a member of the state water polo team

“This has been a very emotional sale for me and that was one of the reasons I didn’t want to come to the auction,” Ms O’Neill said by phone afterwards
The two bidders set a steady pace to get to $2.95 million
where the auction was paused for 20 minutes before it was announced on the market with a bid of $3 million from Mr Kelso

someone is going to live here for the next 10-20 years so what’s $50,000-$100,000 more
It’s not really a big issue,” Mr Kelso said afterwards
But after a powerful exchange between the two parties
it was the family standing inside the house who won with their final bid of $3,055,000
“Cliff used to work for me once upon a time I used to swim next to Susie but she wouldn’t have noticed me that’s for sure,” the winning bidder
“It being Susie’s house didn’t affect us much
We’ve had our eye on the area seriously for about six months.”
and was among the almost $30 million in prestige property sold from just seven high-end listings alone
real estate agents reported a flood of southern home hunters
inspiring the string of multimillion-dollar sales that ranged from vacant land to acreage hideaways
While an unoccupied slice of riverfront in New Farm scored the highest result of the day – after being snapped up by a local developer for $9.91 million – it was a Melbourne couple who cemented one of the top residential transactions at Ray White’s inaugural prestige auction event at the Calile Hotel
The couple splashed $2.8 million on a sprawling Yeronga home at <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/39-ormuz-road-yeronga-qld-4104-2016606720">39 Ormuz Road</a>
smashing the suburb’s non-riverfront price record
despite seeing the home for the first time on Thursday
Tessa McGuigan and Mike Tarant – who left the Victorian capital just a couple of days after the borders re-opened – said they not only saw the striking five-bedroom
five-bathroom abode for the first time just two days shy of the auction
When we saw it for the first time online I thought it was just lovely
but in person it was even better,” Ms McGuigan said
“We were in lockdown in Melbourne for two months in a hotel (from March) because we sold our house and we couldn’t leave
“Our plan when we sold was to move on quite quickly

Run-down Brisbane workers’ cottages sell for almost $1 million at auction
Olympic swimmer Susie O’Neill sells family home in Brisbane’s Yeronga for $3,055,000 at auction
“I started hunting and hunting and I’d looked at another house in Yeronga and that’s when this one came up
I grew up in New Zealand and the house has this beautiful south Island stone at the front and the back
It’s stone that I know from my childhood.”
Although they had planned to downsize after selling their Melbourne townhouse
Mrs McGuigan said they simply fell in love with the sheer quality and luxury finishes of Ormuz Road
she said it was a plan they’d had in the works for a while
an inability to travel due to the pandemic and the quest for an idyllic lifestyle
“We’ll stay here now – everything we want is here,” Mrs McGuigan said
Selling agent <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/real-estate-agent/christine-rudolph-1118472/">Christine Rudolph, of Ray White New Farm</a>
described the Saturday event as a “rock-star” auction
fuelled by the soaring interstate migration and locals keen to snap up a home before Christmas
“The beautiful thing about the property I sold at Ormuz Road is that it’s proof interstate buyers are 100 per cent coming to Queensland,” Ms Rudolph said
“It has been a flood since December 1 and at the moment we are seeing a critical shortage of stock and I think the borders opening has come at a time when traditionally real estate tends to slow
so what we are finding is that buyers are saying to us ‘we are definitely cashed up and ready to buy’
“Just in the last months I would personally say I have seen a 50 per cent increase in interstate and overseas buyers since this time last year.”
<a href="https://www.domain.com.au/real-estate-agent/matt-lancashire-1078389/">Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire</a> said he hadn’t seen a prestige market this hot in a decade
“There is a huge influx of buyers from Sydney and Melbourne
and they have all been eagerly awaiting for the borders to open,” Mr Lancashire said
“Our team has run 35 auctions in December alone
which is testament to the value proposition of prestige property in Brisbane
We don’t see any sign of slowing down throughout the early months of 2021 either.”
Across the prestige auction event, the second-highest sale clocked was for a striking freehold riverfront home at <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/85-macquarie-street-teneriffe-qld-4005-2016602807">85 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe</a>
A smattering of luxury homes outside the Ray White event were also sold under the hammer on Saturday, with <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/real-estate-agent/shane-hicks-1075459/">Shane Hicks, of Place Bulimba</a>, selling <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/11-hartley-street-camp-hill-qld-4152-2016627566">11 Hartley Street, Camp Hill</a>, for $1.291 million in what he said was a fiercely contested auction with 10 registered bidders.
“It sold for $41,000 over reserve, and we had interest in this property right from the start,” Mr Hicks said.
“The buyer that bought it will knock it down and redevelop it into one big luxury home.
“Across our office we also had 100 per cent clearance rate this weekend – it’s been running at 90 odd per cent for us for about the last four to five weeks.
“The auction mark is strong and Camp Hill is the highest-volume auction suburb in Brisbane – they love an auction here and for me personally the last 10 out of 10 have gone under the hammer.
“We’re also getting a lot of interstate traffic – a lot.
“As an office we’ve got a super auction on December 19 and 20. We don’t normally have it but the demand is there.”
The eight-time Olympic medallist and her family bought the home after she retired from her swimming career, and the residence will now pass to another couple with children.
It was one of 39 auctions scheduled in Brisbane on Saturday.
The five-bedroom house at 401 Brisbane Corso was renovated last year and offers river views.

“The market is amazing. That is the highest sale in Yeronga so far this year,” Ms Rudolph said.
She reported strong numbers at open homes, with local buyers keen to get into the market quickly.
“They think once COVID is over there is going to be an influx of interstate buyers,” she said.
