The art deco building of Polden stands tall on Brunswick Street, an elegant reminder of New Farm's long reign as one of Brisbane's most popular places to live. Built in the 'Roaring Twenties', Polden was one of the earliest 'purpose-built' apartment blocks in New Farm and displays many classic design features of that era. Now tastefully renovated, apartment 6 offers its new owners an ideal blend of old world style and contemporary inner city living.
Lifestyle:
This large 60m2 one-plus-study apartment is ideal for singles and couples seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of New Farm's cosmopolitan village life. The quiet and central location is attractive to both homeowners and long-term tenants. It's only a short walk in any direction to the City, Valley, New Farm Park or James Street precinct and only a block away from a breathtaking clifftop vista of the city and Story Bridge. Walk to work in the city or work from home in the spacious study/sunroom. On the weekends, enjoy a run or cycle along the banks of the river, visit a gallery, dine out on the restaurant strip, grab supplies at the local bakery/IGA, enjoy live music or take in a show at the Powerhouse or Judith Wright Centre.
Accommodation:

Period character can be seen throughout the apartment, especially through the French doors to the spacious main bedroom.
