McGrath Estate Agents has secured one of Chelmer’s top sales of 2025, setting a new price point for luxury riverfront living in Brisbane’s prestigious western suburbs.
The property at 25 Sutton Street, Chelmer has sold for $4,365,000, placing it among the top sales in Chelmer and adding momentum to Brisbane’s growing prestige market. Handled by McGrath Estate Agents – Paddington, the sale took place on April 3, 2025 and marks a significant increase from its previous sale price of $2,460,000 in 2007.
About the Property
‘Santai’ is an architect-designed riverfront home offering unsurpassed luxury on Brisbane’s prestigious western riverside.
Set on a 817 m² block, the home features:
- 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms
- Multiple living and dining areas complemented by sun-drenched balconies
- State-of-the-art chef’s kitchen with premium appliances
- Entertainment facilities including a cinema, billiards room, and fully equipped poolside pavilion
- Infinity-edged swimming pool and spa with direct access to a private pontoon
- Bespoke staircase leading to palatial bedrooms, each with its own bathroom
- Opulent master suite with dressing room, double bath, and luxury ensuite
Location & Lifestyle
Chelmer is known for its prestigious riverfront properties and elite status among Brisbane’s western suburbs. The home sits on the high side of Chelmer with breathtaking river views and is within walking distance of city transport options, restaurants, cafés, and top educational institutions including Graceville State School and St Peters Lutheran College.
Why This Sale Stands Out
- Last sold for $2,460,000 in 2007, representing a 77% increase in value
- Features rarely available lifestyle extras such as direct river access, a private pontoon, infinity pool, and spa
- Comprehensive entertainment facilities with dedicated cinema, billiards room, and poolside pavilion
This sale demonstrates the rising ceiling for top-tier homes in Chelmer and suggests increasing demand for prestige properties with river views, private water access, and proximity to the city.
Street Profile & Sales Context
Sutton Street has long been associated with prestigious riverfront properties and elite status in Brisbane’s western suburbs. Homes here are typically tightly held, and property values have shown strong resilience even in softer markets, with this property’s history demonstrating substantial appreciation:
- 1988: Sold for $341,000
- 2005: Sold for $1,970,000
- 2007: Sold for $2,460,000
- 2025: Sold for $4,365,000
This sale at 25 Sutton Street is not just a record-breaker — it’s a story of lifestyle, legacy, and the continuing rise of Chelmer as one of Brisbane’s most desirable postcodes, particularly for luxury riverfront properties offering both opulence and privacy.
