Where do you live and why?
I live in Hamilton, Brisbane. I live here because it has great proximity to everything and I love being near the river.
What do you love about your home?
I love that it is always filled with beautiful natural light and we are surrounded by greenery which always creates a calm ambience. We have also just had a new whiskey bar built in under the stairs which has been a fun new addition.
What would you change about your home?
We are planning to redesign our outdoor courtyard and garden so I’m looking forward to changing that element of the house.
What is the best thing about your suburb?
Where we are located is quiet and relatively secluded. Cafes and restaurants are all within walking distance and plenty of parks to take our puppy for a walk.
If money was no option, what would be your fantasy home and where? Villa in Capri? Chalet in the Swiss Alps?
Without a doubt, it would be a villa in Taormina, Sicily.
What was the best piece of property advice you were given?
Don’t buy what you can’t realistically afford.
