Hi everyone. I found out a bit more about this amazing house. Firstly -it's got a name - Lamb House. It was built in 1902 and it sat empty and decaying after its previous owner, Joy Lamb, moved out in 2015 and failed to pay more than $300,000 in council rates.
Then the Wilsons bought the house in 2021 for $12.75 million and planned to spend slightly more than that again, around $15 million, on the repairs and restoration. Because of the state of the house almost every millimetre needed attention of some kind — from the staircases to the bathrooms, the ceiling to the timber doors.
The project ended up costing more than their initial budget but less than $20 million.
What this couple have done is just spectacular and, wonderfully, they plan to live in their home and to open the house up for charity and other events.
It seems to be such a win for Brisbane. Cheers Rob
