The Brisbane Lions key forward said his favourite feature of the home was the front facade.

“When we were working on the home, we had to keep the front facade, which I love. It was built pre-war, and we’ve designed it to look more like a cottage,” Mr Hipwood said.

“As you get through the house, it becomes more modern. Having that nice flow throughout the home and being able to have guests was a priority for us. Having that space for our friends and family to come to Brisbane every second week to watch the home games and entertain.”

“While we were building the house, we originally didn’t want to live in it forever; both of us have enjoyed renovating, building a house and bringing it to life. That’s why we’re selling, so we can do it again.”

Mr Hipwood’s partner interior designer Ebony Patman said she hoped the new owners appreciated the detail they had put into the property.

“Nothing was an afterthought, the wallpaper choices, the different lighting. We didn’t want the home to feel generic; it’s unique and a little bit different,” Ms Patman said.

“We even went to Tasmania to purchase some lights and got our towel racks. We really put thought into everything.

“When we’re renovating, I look at what we can keep, how we can upscale and how we can renew. For me, it’s all about the floor plan, the flow, and even if you can save some of the tiles to put into a renovated bathroom or a wall lamp. It’s the little things you can give a second life.”

The property is currently listed by Tony O’Doherty and Kaylee Doyle from Belle Property, Bulimba and is accepting offers over $3.75m.
