Five of the best houses for sale south of the River

The south side of Brisbane is home to South Bank and West End, but just a little further down the road are streets with some of the most expensive homes in the city, but are surrounded by more affordable options too.

Whether it’s a multi-million dollar home on Fairfield’s answer to Hendra’s Mein Street, or a relatively affordable home in Yeerongpilly, there’s something for most buyers below the Brisbane river.

41 Brisbane Corso, Fairfield

Price: $3.95 million

Agent: Brett Greensill and Jermaine Jones

4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 car parks

This stunning architecturally designed home is on the Brisbane Corso, a riverfront street that stretches from Fairfield to Yeronga.

It would be close to impossible to find a house along the Corso that would sell for less than a million dollars, and this home is no exception.

Built about eight years ago, the home was designed by the award-winning Push firm. The forward-thinking build maximises the space available to it on a relatively narrow 1046-square-metre block.

“This is best property along there for sale right now,” selling agent Brett Greensill said. “Including the fact it’s at an elbow in the Brisbane river, it’s got great aspects.”

4502/15 Anderson Street, Kangaroo Point

Price: $889,000

Agent: Cecilynne Jurss

2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car parks

For a two-bedroom apartment, this home in the recently renovated Yungaba estate is unusually spacious. The floor space clocks in at 126 square metres, which is practically unheard of.

But the price is a little steeper than usual, but you’re paying for prestige, extra space, and quality fittings with this one.

56 Nathan Terrace, Yeerongpilly

Price: $1.3 million plus

Agent: Emil Juresic and Taylah Rossiter

6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car parks

According to Emil Juresic, Yeerongpilly is a criminally underrated suburb.

“I believe Yeerongpilly is truly undervalued,” he said. “You can buy this property [for] $1.3 million. In other suburbs, you’d have to pay that much just for the land this close to the city.”

The large six-bedroom house is perfect for a big family, and is in a relatively quiet and private suburb.

The downstairs area also features a kitchenette, so if your family isn’t quite big enough to require all that space, the option to rent it out is available too.

3/34 Dutton Street, Hawthorne

Price: $499,000 plus

Agent: Trent Ballantine

2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car park

When apartments are renovated, it’s almost always an incredible end result and this home is no exception. This is another one of those apartments with an exceptional amount of space, and a perfectly modern bathroom to boot.

On the southern edge of Hawthorne, Dutton street isn’t as close to the famous Oxford Street as you’d like but it makes up for that by being closer to arterial roads. That means your commute into the city would be a little easier than if you were right up near all the Oxford Street action.

44 Clara Street, Annerley

Price: $639,000

Agent: Greg Black

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car parks

This townhouse would make an excellent family home or a premium rental product. It’s finished to a different standard to other complexes, and all of the bedrooms aren’t crammed into the top level, as per usual.

The bedroom on the lower floor has its own courtyard, and the master has its own balcony. The home seems to encourage indoor-outdoor living, and would almost certainly be a good fit for families with older children who need space, or like to fight over which bedroom they get.
