An old favourite in Brisbane's Camp Hill

'Croyde'. Built c.1908 for Watson Street's first resident, this magnificent Federation home holds a remarkable place in the city's history. Occupying 1,822sqm on five titles, its 45-metre frontage and north rear aspect establish an estate of rare scale, where generations of family life find room to grow against a breathtaking panorama.

An architectural renovation by Harry Poulos in 2024 brings contemporary luxury to the home's enduring grandeur. VJ panelling, ornate cornices and soaring 3.5-metre ceilings preserve the beauty of its origins, enriched by leather finish quartzite, Blackbutt timber and marble. The craftsmanship honours the character of the house while introducing the comfort and precision of modern design, with Control4 automation allowing the atmosphere to shift from bright family mornings to intimate evenings.

Many houses are moved around in Queensland. Everything from being slit sideways a little, raised (for building underneath), or transported with specialist trucks to a new location.
Then there is those rare times when you bring in the crane!

The Sprawling 1920s Suburban Queenslander
Sited on a triple elevated lot, this large but classic early-1920s Brisbane home is like many of its time, only a little more!
Loving the multiple gables and front porch spaces enjoying the views over the inner-North of Brisbane, the formal and informal living spaces and the gorgeous pool and landscaping.
Newmarket, Brisbane.

Standing the Test of Time in East Brisbane.

Big transformation, but not in a "modern makeover" way, but rather an "ugly ducking" transformation kind of way.

Given the substantial roofline transformation, it's almost hard to believe it's the same house, but it is!

East Brisbane (suburb), Brisbane.

In Queensland, unlike South Australia, houses built from stone are rare, but there a few examples here and there, both city and country.
