Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of St Lucia, this exceptionally spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers the proportions of an older-style residence with the comfort, convenience and low-maintenance appeal of modern apartment living. Set within a well-maintained boutique complex, it presents an outstanding opportunity for professionals, downsizers, young families or investors seeking space and lifestyle in one of Brisbane’s most desirable riverside suburbs.
From the moment you step inside, the apartment feels calm, cool and remarkably private. Generous windows frame a peaceful green outlook, allowing natural light and cooling breezes to flow throughout the home. Ceiling fans enhance the natural ventilation, while ducted air conditioning provides year-round comfort through the warmer summer months.
At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living and dining area with timber-look flooring and high ceilings, offering far more room than typically found in a contemporary two-bedroom apartment. The adjoining kitchen is well appointed with a Westinghouse oven & dishwasher, excellent cupboard space and a built-in pantry, providing everything needed for easy everyday living and entertaining.
Two private balconies extend the living space outdoors. The leafy front balcony enjoys a charming outlook across Macquarie Street, where rainbow lorikeets can often be seen among the neighbouring trees during spring. At the rear, the larger north-east-facing balcony is screened by established greenery and latticework, creating a tranquil setting for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply unwinding in complete privacy.
The two bedrooms are positioned at opposite ends of the apartment, providing excellent separation and privacy. Both include built-in wardrobes and air conditioning, while the master bedroom is distinguished by its private ensuite, built-in shelving and unique vaulted ceiling. The main bathroom features a shower over the bath, mirrored vanity and a conveniently concealed internal laundry -eliminating the need to carry washing downstairs to the garage. Additional built-in storage is positioned off the main living area.
Completing the residence is an extra-large double lock-up garage on the ground floor, with convenient rear access and ample room for vehicles, bicycles and additional storage - a rare and valuable inclusion in St Lucia.
Despite its central metropolitan location, the apartment enjoys the relaxed atmosphere of a quiet, leafy neighbourhood. Guyatt Park and the CityCat terminal are just a short stroll away, offering expansive riverside green space and one of Brisbane’s most reliable and scenic transport connections. The University of Queensland is also within easy walking distance, placing the iconic Great Court, UQ Lakes, jacaranda-lined pathways and extensive campus amenities practically on your doorstep.
Local bus services, nearby childcare facilities, Ironside State School, the recently renovated neighbourhood corner store and easy access to Toowong Village further enhance the everyday convenience. With beautifully maintained common grounds, no outdoor upkeep and even the bins managed for residents, this is effortless apartment living at its best.
