Overview

Boutique Living with Oversized Courtyard in Heart of New Farm

Positioned quietly within 'Birchgrove Square', this ground level apartment delivers an effortless balance of privacy, greenery and inner-city convenience. One of just sixteen residences, the home unfolds across a single level with its own gated access to Merthyr Road, creating a villa style independence rarely found in apartment living. Air-conditioned living and dining are arranged in an open plan layout where natural light moves easily through the space, softened by timber laminate flooring, ceiling fan and a calm, contemporary palette. Large sliding doors extend to the courtyard, where a paved entertaining area is framed by established planting. Generous in size, the outdoor setting offers both privacy and flexibility, while direct gated access enhances everyday ease. The kitchen sits neatly within the living area, designed for both functionality and connection. White waterfall stone benchtops and a subway tiled splashback introduce a clean, considered finish, complemented by generous cabinetry and a practical U-shaped layout. A breakfast bar encourages casual dining, while quality appliances including an electric cooktop, oven and dishwasher support daily use. A well-proportioned bedroom provides a comfortable retreat, complete with built in wardrobe, air conditioning and ceiling fan. Glass doors maintain a visual connection to the courtyard, allowing greenery and natural light to filter through. A stylish two-way ensuite incorporates floor to ceiling tiling, timber vanity, mirrored storage and a walk-in shower with feature finger tiling. A heated towel rail and integrated laundry space add practicality, while additional storage, security screening throughout and a secure lock up garage further enhance functionality. 'Birchgrove Square' is a well-maintained, low-density complex defined by solid brick construction and established gardens. Residents enjoy access to a swimming pool, barbecue area and intercom entry, all positioned just three kilometres from the CBD. Positioned in the heart of New Farm, the address places everyday essentials and lifestyle destinations within walking distance. Cafés, restaurants and boutiques line nearby streets, while New Farm Park, the Brisbane Powerhouse and the riverwalk offer a connection to green space and the river's edge. The New Farm Park ferry terminal and city bound bus services ensure easy access to the CBD, while James Street, Gasworks and Howard Smith Wharves are all moments away. Offering a rare combination of courtyard scale, boutique living and inner-city accessibility, this residence presents an outstanding opportunity for first home buyers, investors or those seeking a simplified lifestyle.
