A charming Queenslander in Wavell Heights, imbued with the love and laughter of one of MAFS’ most beloved couples, has recently changed hands. Kerry and Johnny Balbuziente, who captured hearts across Australia during their stint on the 2021 season of Married At First Sight, have sold their first family home.
The sale marks a new chapter for the couple, who welcomed their baby girl, Chloe, in June this year.
The stylish abode, nestled in Brisbane’s sunny northern suburbs, holds a special significance for the couple. Here, Johnny prepared for their wedding and where they brought Chloe home from the hospital.
The house blends classic Queenslander architecture and modern design, featuring polished timber floors, decorative ceilings, and VJ panel walls. Kerry, known for her impeccable style, added her personal touch, creating a soft and fashionable coastal ambience.
The property boasts a renovated kitchen with sage-green finger tiles, statement lights, and an elegant breakfast bar. Modern updates complement the home’s original features, such as archways, cornices, and expansive verandahs. Located in a peaceful suburban retreat, it also offers convenient access to the city, top schools, and views of the city skyline.
The couple purchased the property two years ago and lovingly renovated it in stages. They began with cosmetic updates before tackling larger projects like the kitchen. On their first day in the house, Kerry noted that the property, which had not been renovated in 30 years, needed some TLC.
Drew Davies and Olivia Charlton of Place Estate Agents Ascot handled the sale of the property, which took place on September 25. Although sad to say goodbye to a home filled with precious memories, the couple is excited about the future and what it holds for their growing family.
A keen eye might have noticed a distinctive souvenir during inspections—a gold plate above the kitchen door that Johnny had taken from their hotel room door while filming the popular reality show. It is a quirky reminder of their unconventional love story.
