Set on a 2,699sqm estate behind a private, tree-lined frontage, the property combines an existing renovated residence with Council-approved plans for a future redevelopment. (DA A006668102)

Owned by Queensland property developer Michael Zhang, the three-level home has undergone extensive renovations in recent years.

Relocating to the Gold Coast for family reasons, Mr Zhang is offering the property to the market as both a renovated family home and a site with approved plans for a future redevelopment.

“This vision features a five-bedroom, five-bathroom masterpiece complete with a lift, cinema, gym, and swimming pool, giving the next owner total certainty for a future rebuild on Brisbane’s most prestigious street,” Mr Zhang said.

Mr Zhang said when he first bought the home – originally built in 2008 – it was dated.

“As a developer, I wanted to bring it up to a modern, luxury standard, so I undertook a comprehensive renovation,” he said.

“I’ve updated everything from the flooring and the kitchen to the bathrooms and the landscaping. It is now a fully refreshed, contemporary home.”

Architecturally, the home offers nearly 1,000sqm of internal living space across three levels – a building height that is almost impossible to achieve under current design regulations, Mr Zhang said.

Framed by manicured gardens, the grounds feature a professional north-south tennis court and a cricket pitch. 

“The outlook is truly breathtaking – stretching from river glimpses and the Gateway Bridge to St Margaret’s and across to Moreton Island on a clear day,” Mr Zhang said.

The home is wrapped in verandas designed to harness panoramic views.

Mr Zhang said the grand-scale floorplan includes a media room, formal dining, and a kitchen with dual walk-in pantries, all serviced by a dumbwaiter that connects to a temperature-controlled wine cellar.
