Mount Gravatt East, a suburb in southern Brisbane known for its family-friendly appeal, recently gained attention for a distinctive property featuring an impressive skate bowl in its backyard. Listed by agent Matt Campbell of Ray White Mount Gravatt, the weatherboard home was modified to cater to the owners’ teenage children, who enjoy skateboarding and BMX biking. The custom concrete skate bowl, situated beside a pool, offers a unique attraction that has buyers flocking straight to the outdoor area during inspections.
Campbell remarked on the surprise of potential buyers, noting that while they expected a smaller feature, the full-scale skate bowl exceeded their expectations and is truly remarkable. The property showcases typical post-war architecture, which, following renovations, accommodates a family of four comfortably. Enhancements include a master bedroom with an en suite that connects seamlessly to the outdoor deck and pool area.
Over the years, Mount Gravatt East has transitioned into a popular area for families, especially as rising prices in closer suburbs push buyers further out. Before 2020, the suburb was known for investment properties, but it is increasingly becoming a desired location for owner-occupiers and families seeking affordable housing.
Campbell highlighted the change in buyer demographics, stating that more young families are now choosing to settle in this evolving suburb. As many homes sell to these families, the community is transforming into a vibrant enclave for modern living. The auction for 3 Nightingale Street is set for April 2, 2023, offering prospective buyers a chance to secure this unique family home.
Additionally, there are several other properties currently on the market in Mount Gravatt East. One notable listing features a near-new home with mountain views, a covered balcony, a swimming pool, and high-end fittings. Another townhouse appeals to first-time buyers or investors, boasting an outdoor entertaining area and a double garage with ample storage. A character-filled home, desired for its location within a top school zone, also includes a self-contained retreat for guests, further showcasing the suburb’s family-oriented offerings.
