It was a pleasure to represent the sellers of this gorgeous family home and successfully negotiate and execute the sale in this market. A new home for a lucky local family who are already talking about fishing and boating from the jetty. Exciting times ahead.
International and interstate buyers enquiring with a national marketing campaign tailored and focussed on the benefits of Brisbane and specifically this prestigious residence.
Thinking of selling?
Every sale has its own story, and Omadale's took patience, persistence, and a lot of quiet work behind the scenes. That's often what this market asks of us. If you own a riverfront or prestige home in Brisbane's inner east and are weighing up your options, I'm always happy to have a confidential conversation. No obligation, no pressure, and nothing goes further than the two of us.
A typical inner-east riverfront lot holds 10 to 15 metres of frontage. Omadale presents 26 metres on a 950m² holding, true north across Humbug Reach to New Farm and the city skyline. Same name. Same bend of the river. Ninety-five years.
Commissioned in 1930 and protected under Brisbane City Plan 2014's Traditional Building Character overlay, this Interwar Old English residence has been continuously occupied and progressively upgraded across two long custodianships. Original leadlight, ornate plasterwork, timber panelling and a foyer of substance remain intact. Modern additions sit alongside them with care: a gourmet kitchen with Miele and Liebherr appliances, internal elevator serving both levels, heated riverfront pool, hand-excavated 1,400-bottle wine cellar, and an elevated entertaining deck where the view changes from sunrise to sunset.
From the private 10-metre pontoon, deep-water access opens the river as a daily extension of the home, New Farm Park in five minutes, the CBD in fifteen. Since the Norman Park ferry terminal closed in October 2020, private water access on this stretch has become a privilege of address.
Churchie sits 2.4km away. Lourdes Hill College, 1.8km. Norman Park station, 11 minutes by train to the CBD today and repositioned by Cross River Rail in 2029. Within ten kilometres: the Victoria Park Olympic Stadium ($3.785B, construction commencing June 2026), the Bulimba Barracks redevelopment and the Lua urban village on Oxford Street.
Elevated 1930 construction, continuously occupied through every major flood event including 1974, 2011 and 2022. Current FloodWise report available in the due-diligence pack.
