Two local builders have seen their very first residential project in Bardon skyrocket to become the most-viewed auction property in the entire country.
The property at 80 Coolibah Street is scheduled to go under the hammer this weekend. It was finished only a few weeks ago by local builders Philipp Freihofner and Luke Higgins.
While the duo at Candour Builders usually focuses on smaller projects, this home represents their first official move into building luxury residential houses. The design was created by Gockel Architects, who focused on making the most of the elevated land and the surrounding green trees that the local area is known for.
Seamless Indoor and Outdoor Living
The home is shaped like a large letter L to make room for a central swimming pool that acts as the heart of the property. Mr Freihofner explained that the home was built to let people move easily between the inside and the outside. Large sliding doors were installed so that the main living rooms can be opened up completely to the gardens.
He noted that the layout was designed specifically for entertaining, making it just as easy to host a simple family barbecue as it is to have a large holiday party. Sunken gardens around the pool area further help the yard feel like a natural part of the house.
Luxury Materials and Smart Design
The inside of the five-bedroom home uses a mix of high-end materials to create a calm and natural feeling. The builders used Italian marble, Romanian stone, and special bricks to give the walls and floors a unique look. Underfoot, guests will find American oak timber and smooth concrete, while the kitchen is fitted with expensive German appliances and a hidden pantry to keep messes out of sight.
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is large enough to feel like a private hotel, offering views over a rooftop garden and the nearby treetops. For added comfort, the house includes a fireplace, a dedicated study for working from home, and a smart security system that can be controlled through a phone.
A Perfect Spot for Families
Located just five kilometres from the Brisbane city centre, the property is positioned in a very convenient part of Bardon for growing families. The house is only 250 metres from the nearest bus stop and a short 650-metre walk to St Joseph’s Primary School.
Other well-known schools like Marist College and Stuartholme are also located just a few minutes away. Being surrounded by parks and reserves, the home offers a quiet lifestyle while still being close to the busy shops and cafes in nearby Paddington and Ashgrove.
