Mount Gravatt East home for sale comes with a skate bowl

The family-friendly suburb of Mount Gravatt East suddenly has cool credentials.

A weatherboard home in the southern Brisbane suburb has been listed with a skate bowl in the backyard.

Listing agent Matt Campbell from Ray White Mount Gravatt says the vendors have teenage children who enjoy skateboarding and BMX bike riding, so they carved out the sweeping concrete bowl next to the pool.

It’s an adrenaline-pumping feature that has to be seen to be believed.

A lawn and a covered entertaining deck complete the outdoor space.

Prospective buyers who attend inspections often head straight to the garden to check it out, before taking in any other highlights, Campbell says.

“There were no photos of it online … so I was expecting a half-pipe or something a bit smaller, but it is a full-blown skate bowl,” he says.

“It is very impressive and very unique.”

The listing is a slick example of the suburb’s typical post-war houses.

Campbell says this style of property can be on the smaller side, but after a renovation, it now easily accommodates a family of four.

“They have done a really good job adding on a master bedroom and an en suite, which connects well with the deck and the pool,” he says.

The postcode, about a 20-minute drive from the CBD, has evolved due to price pressures in closer suburbs, Campbell says.

“The predominant buyer group has been families,” he says. “Mount Gravatt East has been going through a big change.

“Before 2020, it was an investment-heavy area. Now, it is rapidly turning into an area for owner-occupiers and families.

“That is likely because of how expensive it is closer to the city. Now, almost everything here is sold to young families.”

Campbell is taking 3 Nightingale Street to auction on April 2.
