171 James Street, New Farm, Qld 4005

Perfectly positioned in one of Brisbane’s most coveted inner-city locales, this architecturally renovated home is a sophisticated interpretation of Queensland living—celebrating light, flow, and connection to landscape. Designed with an acute sensitivity to climate, materiality and lifestyle, the warm and welcoming home unfolds across two thoughtfully crafted levels and boasts a lush tropical garden with space for pets, family, play and even a few chickens.
 
Walking in at street level, you’ll find yourself upstairs featuring two spacious, light-filled bedrooms and a comfortable bathroom. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas flow effortlessly onto a private, weather-protected deck—ideal for year-round entertaining or relaxing with your morning coffee overlooking a lush, leafy outlook. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with quality appliances, ample storage, and an entertainer’s drawer fridge—perfect for hosting. Thoughtfully designed, the home also boasts generous indoor and outdoor storage options, making it as practical as it is stylish.

Internal stairs take you to the ground level - an inviting retreat that’s cool in Summer and cozy in Winter.  Here you’ll find the luxurious master suite, complete with a walk-in robe, ensuite with Balinese-inspired finishes, and striking design elements including travertine tiles, polished concrete floors, and timber accents. It’s bold and it’s beautiful—and it works wonderfully. 
 
Also on this lower level is a dedicated study space and multiple breakout and entertaining zones cater to both work and leisure. The alfresco area is set against a dramatic Brisbane Tuff retaining wall. The stone was cut from the James St cutting - a stunning piece of New Farm history.
