A renovated Queenslander in Gordon Park has sold under the hammer for $1.7 million, setting a new price record for a three-bedroom home in the sought-after inner-north Brisbane suburb.
A Classic Queenslander With a Modern Touch
The auction for 101 Swan Street in late June attracted strong interest, with ten bidders registering and five competing actively. The opening bid of $1.2 million quickly rose, and the fully renovated Queenslander sold within 15 minutes for $1.7 million—$200,000 above the previous suburb record.
Set on a 405 square metre block, the home features three bedrooms, one bathroom, high ceilings, hoop pine floors, and a modern kitchen leading to a spacious back deck. Buyers were especially drawn to its move-in-ready condition, combining classic charm with updated interiors. Agent Holly Bowden noted its location near parks and schools also added to its appeal.
Suburb in High Demand
Gordon Park, located just six kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, has become a tightly held and growing suburb. Known for its quiet, leafy streets and easy access to the Kedron Brook bikeway, the area is popular with professionals, young families, and long-time locals alike. The suburb’s limited housing stock and lifestyle appeal have helped push values upward.
Recent data places the median house price in Gordon Park at $1.51 million, representing a 13.1 percent increase over the past year. The $1.7 million result for Swan Street reflects the strength of the local market, particularly for properties that combine classic design with modern upgrades.
Location, Lifestyle, and Liveability
The home’s location was another key driver behind its strong result. Kedron Brook is just a short walk away, offering bike paths, walking tracks, and dog-friendly parks. The property is within the Wooloowin State School and Kedron State High School catchments, making it appealing to young families.
Essential services, including cafés, supermarkets, and public transport, are close by. Easy access to major roads and tunnels such as the Clem 7 and Airport Link adds to the suburb’s convenience. For many bidders, the chance to secure a well-finished home in a quiet, connected pocket of the city made this listing stand out.
Future Growth on the Horizon
The Swan Street result is expected to influence future sales in the suburb. While not the largest home or block in Gordon Park, its quality finish and presentation helped achieve a standout price. Local agents say the outcome signals the continued growth of inner-north Brisbane, especially in suburbs where homes rarely change hands.
As more buyers seek homes that offer both lifestyle and convenience, properties like this are likely to remain in high demand. For Gordon Park, it’s another sign that the suburb is no longer just a hidden gem, it’s now firmly on the radar.
