This top-floor residence within the iconic Mactaggarts Woolstore represents a vanishingly rare opportunity - a true time capsule preserved in its original conversion state.
While most converted Woolstores have been meticulously reimagined over the last three decades, Unit 137 remains a testament to the raw, industrial soul of the early 1990s.
This is an invitation to the visionary: a rare chance to strip back the years and craft a bespoke masterpiece within the only direct riverfront Woolstore in Teneriffe. Positioned to overlook the leafy canopy of Vernon Terrace with glimpses toward the CBD, this is the purest starting point for a bespoke architectural statement.

Stepping inside Unit 137 is a nostalgic journey. In an era where original condition is almost impossible to find, this home offers the vertical scale and heritage features for a grand transformation. The soaring double-height ceilings and white-painted timber trusses create a volume of space that is singular to the Woolstores, drawing the eye upward and flooding the interiors with natural light.
The living area is defined by its authenticity. Original timber-framed sash windows frame peaceful views over Vernon Terrace toward the CBD in the distance, while the exposed red brickwork provides the tactile warmth that has made the Woolstores some of the city's most iconic residences. In this apartment, the raw architecture of the past waits for a refined, contemporary finish.
The signature split-level layout features a timber mezzanine that overlooks the main living area - a classic design element reminiscent of NYC lofts that offers incredible versatility. Whether retained as a quiet study or expanded into a palatial, secluded master retreat, the footprint is ready to be reimagined to suit a bespoke lifestyle.
The kitchen and bathrooms, preserved in their original 1990s cabinetry and tiling, offer a functional baseline or, more excitingly, an opportunity for a complete redesign.
This is not just an apartment; it is a rare and highly sought after chance to create a one-of-a-kind residence in an iconic, riverfront heritage building. Positioned directly on the banks of the Brisbane river, residents enjoy lush gardens, private access to the Teneriffe boardwalk and seamless connectivity to public transport just around the corner. Discover the very best of the 4005 lifestyle at your doorstep.
