The property market is something Aussies spend more time thinking about than theyโd like to admit to, but everyone knows not all homes are created equal. Here at On The Market, we scour countless property listings to share the best of the best, from palatially proportioned waterfront palaces to meticulously designed studio apartments.
Commanding the edge of Fawkner Park, this grand Victorian estate stands as an architectural landmark with its imposing facade framed by lush gardens from Jenny Smith and a stately pool.
Inside, original marble, tessellated floors, soaring 13-foot ceilings and intricate leadlight are balanced with contemporary updates by Stephen Akehurst, articulately combining both heritage and modern details. With dual street frontages, independent maisonettes, and a main residence defined by its balconied park-front suite, this is Victorian architecture reimagined for today.

There arenโt many homes that so literally create the atmosphere of a five-star hotel, but thatโs exactly what this new build offers. Designed by Tim Stewart Architects, this New Farm residence occupies a 875-square-metere corner parcel, featuring flowing pavilions, board-formed concrete ceilings, Venetian plaster, and bespoke finishes everywhere you look.
Entertain on the rooftop terrace at sunset, gather around fireplaces in the lounge, or retreat to the wellness space with a steam room and gym. Boasting five bedrooms, a theatre, a wine cellar and an eight-car garage, this isnโt your average Brisbane mansion.
