Kelly Murphy knows what’s involved in designing and building a luxury home in Brisbane.

The property features a tennis court.
Mr Murphy recently put her home on the market with Matt Lancashire and Josh Brown of Ray White New Farm to try and take advantage of buyers wanting a turnkey luxury property.
“As someone who has built a house I know how time consuming it really is and I can see why buyers are desperate to buy a completed house,” Ms Murphy said.
“The market seems fairly buoyant for luxury homes in Brisbane at this point of time.”

“One of the things I was passionate about was making sure it flowed between the living and outdoor space.
“You can be cooking in the kitchen or entertaining and the children are in the pool in front of you.”
