The Nest, the Shaun Lockyer-designed Bardon home, sells for over $7.5 million

A luxury Bardon home in inner Brisbane has sold for more than $7.5 million in just 10 days.

The suburb record smashing near new build designed by architect Shaun Lockyer had a guide of $7 million plus.

The Nestor Avenue home previously traded as an original 1950s home designed by architect Neville Lund on 4,240 sqm, land that was originally owned by the Stuartholme Convent, for $2.3 million in 2013.

Lockyer was called in to design the luxury five bedroom home dubbed The Nest that was completed in 2016.

The five bedroom home draws its inspiration from modern roots, expressed through the juxtaposition of heavy vertical and light horizontal planes highlighting itself as an amazing representation of sub-tropical architecture.

It incorporates fine, elegant lines, sandblasted concrete, Spotted Gum timber and floor-to-ceiling glass.

The five bedrooms are located on one side of the property, the master suite complete with its own walking wardrobe and bathroom.

The open plan kitchen, living and dining space opens to the swimming pool. There's also a gym, 1000 bottle wine cellar and a tennis court in the grounds.

The former Bardon record has stood since 2016 when a five bed home sold for $4.55 million.
