From Knockdown to Knockout: Building for Resale in Kedron

When it comes to maximising value in Brisbane’s inner north, few strategies are as impactful as a well-executed knockdown rebuild. In sought-after suburbs like Kedron, where proximity to top schools, cafés, and the CBD drives demand, starting fresh with a modern, Hamptons-style design can transform an older property into a high-performing investment asset.

That was exactly the case on Bloxsom Street. An older post-war home, a generous 683 m² block, and an investor with a clear brief: build a modern, lifestyle-driven family residence with strong resale appeal. The result? A knockout five-bedroom, three-bathroom home that delivers contemporary elegance, practical functionality, and broad market appeal.

Why a Knockdown Rebuild Made Sense in Kedron

The Bloxsom Street site offered ideal conditions for redevelopment: a quiet street, north-south orientation, and close access to Westfield Chermside, Bradbury Park, and multiple top-performing schools. The original post-war home required demolition, which Resi Homes managed efficiently through the required demolition permits and coordination with Brisbane City Council, a seamless process for our investor client

A Vision Built for Today’s Market

This custom build was designed from the ground up with lifestyle, functionality, and resale in mind. The brief was clear: create a large, family-friendly home with luxurious touches that would resonate with modern buyers.

Key design features included:

• Five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, ideal for multi-generational living.
• Ground-floor study and an upstairs teenage retreat for flexible family use.
• Seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a covered alfresco terrace, perfect for Brisbane’s climate.
• Open-plan living with a designer Hamptons-style kitchen, complete with a statement island, premium appliances, custom cabinetry, butler’s pantry, and feature lighting.

Highlights from the Build

Every detail was selected to impress and maximise both lifestyle and resale value:

• Indoor-Outdoor Living: Covered alfresco leads to a sparkling in-ground pool and low-maintenance landscaped backyard.
• Family Comforts: Zoned living areas, generous storage, luxe laundry, and considered bedroom layouts ensure practical, everyday functionality.
• Technology & Premium Finishes: Ducted air-conditioning, integrated appliances, LED lighting (including multi-coloured pool lights), and smart home additions like a Samsung smart TV and Bosch ice-and-water fridge.
• Custom Solutions: All cabinetry and joinery were custom-designed, ensuring unique finishes and a tailored fit for each space.

This home also reflects Resi Homes’ builder innovations: clear communication, digital progress updates, and precise project scheduling to guarantee delivery on time and within budget.

The Result

The Bloxsom Street knockdown-to-new Kedron project exemplifies Resi Homes’ ability to deliver high-impact, investor-ready homes. By transforming a modest site into an expansive, Hamptons-style five-bedroom family sanctuary with a private pool, modern finishes, and smart layout, we created a standout resale asset.
