Known as Trevallyn, the five-bedroom residence in Chelmer was built in 1905 in the Queenslander style and features a corrugated iron roof and a wraparound veranda, hallmarks of the style, and has been “skillfully restored,” listing agent Tyson Clarke of Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty said in an email.
The home is located on “one of the area’s most prestigious streets with a lot of recent big sales,” Mr. Clarke said.
“The owner’s price expectation is around [$5.5 million], however the market is already dictating it will likely be higher than that,” he said. “We are seeing sales circa 10% higher at the moment, so anywhere between that and possibly toward the $6 million mark.”
It last traded in June 2021 for $3.9 million, according to property records. If it sells for $6 million, it would be a 35% price jump in less than a year. The home is registered to a limited liability company, and Mansion Global could not determine who is behind the company.
The residence “has been fully renovated by one of Brisbane’s top architects, Joe Adsett, to be a completely modern prestige home while maintaining all the historical aspects and charm of the original,” Mr. Clarke said.
Period details include the hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove walls and tall ceilings, according to the listing. The front door is also original to the residence.
The open-floor plan includes a living and dining area and an updated kitchen with a butler’s pantry, island and Smeg appliances, with Calacatta marble throughout, according to the listing. It opens to the covered veranda, which has an outdoor kitchen and overlooks the lawn and 10-metre lap pool.
The main bedroom features a custom dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with Italian tiles and a brass bathtub imported from the U.K.
There’s also a library office with a wall of bookshelves and a ladder, a wine cellar and a lower level with a bedroom, bathroom and a kitchenette. Plus there’s covered parking for up to four cars.

Blending brutalist strength with warm, refined interiors, Rumah is a bold architectural statement in Brighton’s coastal enclave — a designer family home where luxury meets liveability.
Rumah means “home” in Indonesian and Malay, and it’s clear this designer property in Melbourne’s coveted beachside enclave of Brighton is a dream house in any language.
The uber-contemporary residence is a collaboration between builders Belot Property, Seidler Group architects, and the interiors team at Golden.
The result is a modern marvel that combines a brutalist concrete exterior ready to weather its coastal setting with inviting interiors using a mix of textures, from French oak to metal and brick finishes.
Just listed with Kay & Burton Bayside agents, Rae Mano, Matthew Pillios and Jamie Mi, the prestige property is on the market via a private treaty campaign with price expectations of between $10.5 million and $11.5 million.
Created to be a great entertainer while maintaining a level of discreet privacy, Rumah is, at its heart, a warm, family-friendly home that ticks all the boxes for detail-oriented design connoisseurs.
A palette of contradictions, Rumah blends angular and rounded forms, features hard steel and glass, and effortlessly incorporates the earthy finishes of brick and timber for a holistic sensory experience.
Beyond the oversized pivot door sits a large structural column wrapped in gold leaf, setting the tone for the rest of the residence. The three-storey layout offers a choice of multigenerational spaces, from the ground-floor everyday living level to the accommodation wing on the top floor and the large basement “clubhouse.”
At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen features a dramatic island bench, high-end appliances, and a full butler’s pantry. Multiple spaces feed off the kitchen, including a vast dining area and a large living room, which both spill out through full-height glazed doors to either a side barbecue terrace or the poolside deck to the rear.
Even the downstairs entertainer’s room – also known as the club – is effectively poolside thanks to an innovative glass viewing window framing swimmers and cleverly connecting the subterranean level to the rest of the home. This games room also houses a sophisticated bar, a wine cellar, integrated night club style lounge seating and a full bathroom.
Additionally, the lower floor features a hidden laundry room, two store rooms, direct access to a huge five-car garage with a convenient turning circle, and an extra bedroom or home office.
Via the private elevator, the top floor is dedicated to after-hours living. It has four spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobes. In the luxurious primary suite, there is a hotel-inspired ensuite with a unique kidney-shaped freestanding bath and a dressing room.
Rumah’s added extras include warming indoor and outdoor fireplaces, automatic blinds, feature lighting, marble accents, bespoke wallpaper, built-in bedheads, an external spa and low-maintenance landscaped gardens.
Positioned on the corner of William and Halifax Sts, the 21st-century beach house is opposite William St Reserve, close to Brighton Primary School.
Rumah at 91 William St, Brighton is on the market via private sale with Kay & Burton Bayside and has a sales guide of $10.5 million and $11.5 million.
