* A note before you fall for it: this one's a top-floor walk-up. Stairs, no lift, sadly not accessible. But climb them and the reward at the top is rather good.
Set on the top floor of Merynda, a boutique block of just 12, this is a 2 bedroom apartment that punches well above its price tag. It faces south east, which is the quiet luxury nobody talks about: soft morning sun, gentle light all day, and none of that brutal western heat. Windows and doors at every turn keep the breeze wandering straight through, and the solid cement construction keeps it genuinely cool while the rest of Brisbane melts. Live in it exactly as it is, or roll your sleeves up and make it yours. It's a beautiful canvas either way.
But here's the real headline. The location.
This is New Farm at its absolute best. You've got Idle Bakery quite literally next door, which means your morning coffee and croissant is a thirty second commute in slippers. Merthyr Village is a flat stroll away for your butcher, your baker and the whole weekly shop. New Farm Park is around the corner for your Sundays under the jacarandas, the Brisbane Powerhouse is minutes away for the markets and a riverside walk, and when you'd rather glide into the city than drive, the CityCat is waiting for you. James Street, Gasworks and quite possibly the best eating (and drinking) in Brisbane are all right on your doorstep.
This is the postcode people spend years renting in, promising themselves they'll buy here one day. This is the one that lets you skip the queue and start at the top.
What we think you'll love:
