Known for its leafy streets, architectural excellence, and proximity to elite schools, Bardon continues to attract discerning buyers willing to pay premium prices for quality homes in this coveted inner-west enclave.
1. 32-34 Boundary Road, Bardon – $5.1 million
Leading the charge is 32-34 Boundary Road, which achieved an exceptional $5.1 million sale in May 2025.

With polished concrete and engineered oak floors throughout, plus a gourmet kitchen featuring premium Siemens appliances and a Liebherr dual-zone wine cabinet, this home sets a new benchmark for luxury living in Bardon. The secure three-car garage with turntable and advanced security systems further emphasise the property’s premium positioning.
2. 14 Barton Street, Bardon – $4.8 million
The second-highest sale belongs to 14 Barton Street, a masterfully renovated 1920s cottage that changed hands for $4.8 million in March 2025. Architecturally redesigned by celebrated designer Shaun Lockyer, this five-bedroom family home demonstrates how heritage character can be seamlessly integrated with organic modern luxury.
Positioned in the highly sought-after Rosalie pocket of Bardon, the 607sqm property captures the suburb’s renowned leafy ambiance through its eastern rear aspect and elevated position. The home features three dedicated living zones, soaring 3m+ ceilings, and a sophisticated indoor-outdoor design that maximises Queensland’s climate advantages. Premium finishes include a gourmet kitchen with oversized stone island and complete Miele appliance suite, complemented by a private swimming pool and tranquil tree-lined outdoor spaces.
3. 23 Vimy Street, Bardon – $4.725 million
Completing the top three is 23 Vimy Street, which sold for $4.725 million in April 2025. This architecturally designed six-bedroom family entertainer spans a generous 830sqm block with coveted north-east aspect, offering the perfect balance of contemporary style and practical family living.
Only three years old, the property showcases impressive scale with soaring 4.3m ceiling heights and an oversized living area flooded with natural light. Luxury appointments include a temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar with custom LED racking for 564 bottles, a fully equipped home cinema, and a heated therapeutic mineral swimming pool. The master suite features a private balcony with wet bar and three-person infrared sauna, while separate his-and-her dressing rooms inspired by Parisian boutiques add an extra touch of sophistication.
Why These Numbers Matter
These three exceptional sales underscore Bardon’s evolution as one of Brisbane’s most desirable residential addresses, with each property commanding well above the $4.5 million mark. The concentration of high-value sales within a short timeframe signals sustained confidence in the suburb’s premium market, driven by several key factors.
Firstly, the architectural pedigree of these homes cannot be understated. With renowned designers like Shaun Lockyer and DAHA involved, these properties represent more than just homes – they’re architectural statements that appeal to buyers seeking design excellence alongside luxury living.
The substantial land holdings – ranging from 607sqm to 1,214sqm – offer a rare commodity in Brisbane’s inner suburbs: space. In an era where urban density continues to increase, these generous allotments provide families with room to breathe, entertain, and create private sanctuaries within minutes of the CBD.
Location remains paramount, with Bardon’s proximity to prestigious educational institutions like Stuartholme School, Brisbane Boys’ College, and Rainworth State School proving irresistible to families prioritising education. The suburb’s easy access to Paddington’s café culture and Rosalie Village’s boutique shopping adds lifestyle appeal that extends beyond the property boundaries.
For current Bardon homeowners, these sales represent significant capital growth validation and suggest continued strength in the luxury market segment. For investors and agents, the results confirm that well-designed, substantial homes in tightly held suburbs with strong fundamentals continue to attract serious buyer interest, even as broader market conditions remain selective.
