There are apartments, and then there are homes with a story. Being offered to the market for the first time in 26 years, tucked quietly at the rear of an intimate eight-unit 1930's Art Deco block on one of Clayfield's most well positioned tree-lined streets, is unmistakably the latter. Built in 1937-38 and listed on Brisbane's Local Heritage Register, it carries with it the grace, generosity, and craftsmanship of an era that simply isn't replicated anymore.
From the moment you enter via the private building foyer - shielded entirely from street view - there's an immediate sense of character, comfort, and security that wraps around you. Soaring 9½-foot ceilings, freshly painted decorative moulded plaster cornicing, deep skirting boards, and exposed timber detailing give the home a richness and depth. Mixed hardwood floors run through the living areas, while wide pine flooring with a rich tung oil finish warms both bedrooms underfoot.
The east-facing rear of the home is where the apartment truly comes alive. The light-filled sunroom - accessible from both the second bedroom and the lounge - is the kind of space that earns its keep every single day: With views of sunrises, and dramatic storm watching. It is a genuinely special place to be. The southern aspect is private and leafy, with a green outlook that adds to the sense of seclusion. Tucked at the end of the block, away from street noise, this is as quiet and peaceful as inner-city living gets.
The kitchen is generous in size, thoughtfully laid out, and equipped with a five-burner natural gas cooktop including a dedicated wok burner, a new electric oven, rangehood, dishwasher, and a hutch-style pantry with abundant drawer storage. Silestone countertops and large casement windows that catch the breezes complete a kitchen you'll genuinely enjoy spending time in.
The two bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the apartment - a private and practical layout - each fitted with timber shutters for light control. Reverse cycle air-conditioning in both the lounge and main bedroom ensures year-round comfort, while large casement windows throughout invite the breeze in and the world out.
