69 Richmond Street, Chelmer

Long regarded as one of Brisbane's best performing blue ribbon suburbs, Chelmer by the river combines a tranquil village atmosphere with an enviable proximity to the Brisbane CBD and all amenities. Designed to stand in beautifully balanced contrast to the traditional styles of this much prized suburb, this unique home makes a bold statement for those who want the prestige and quietude of historic Chelmer, but who prefer a more modern style of residence. Created by award winning architect Ian Mitchell and built by renowned luxury homes builder John Speere, this stunning property was a worthy finalist in the 2005 House of the Year competition. Making the most of its above-average frontage of 15 metres, this exclusive home flows seamlessly across two levels, offering light-filled living areas and over-sized bedrooms for family comfort, while at the same time providing generous space and facilities for the business professional who may choose to work from home.
