The mum-of-three has made the difficult decision to sell the inner-city property her father Greg Harris designed - a testament to his reputation as one of Brisbane's most renowned high-end designers who worked on prestigious hotels and luxury residences throughout the city.

The property at 24 Kingsholme Street, Teneriffe is being marketed by Ray White Ascot director Alexander Shean and is set to go under the hammer on 11 December.

"This is the last piece of dad," Ms Harris said.

“Dad was old-school - he did everything by hand. This wasn't just a house; it was his art."

The home was constructed with precast concrete walls and stairs to reduce heat/noise and to stand the test of time.

There’s heated polished floors downstairs and in the upstairs bathrooms.

The timeless, low-maintenance home has been the backdrop to some of Ms Harris’ most significant life moments.

"My husband and I got married inside this home. We covered the pool over with glass and fit 60 people in that area for our wedding celebration,” she said.

“We brought all three of our children home from the hospital here, celebrated countless birthdays here, and hosted so many dinner parties.”

The property's standout feature is its seamless indoor-outdoor design, perfect for Brisbane's subtropical climate.

"My favourite part is the openness and that entertaining feeling," Ms Harris said.

"In summer, it opens right up - it's free and easy living, so close to the city. We've always had people here for dinners and gatherings."

Over the years, the family has enhanced the four-bedroom property, adding a fully renovated garden.

The custom-designed pool with an adjoining outdoor kitchen was created specifically with their children in mind.

The home features expansive glass windows and panels that flood the interiors with natural light.

While leaving is bittersweet, Ms Harris and her family have found their next chapter - a property on a large block in Clayfield's Florence Street, closer to family and schools.

"We honestly didn't see ourselves leaving, however it's the end of an era," she said.

"This house suited us perfectly for this stage of life, and now it's ready to create the same magic for someone else - whether that's a bachelor pad, a family home, or someone looking for multi-generational living."
