Chosen by an architect and called home for many years, this Newstead Towers apartment offers a considered layout, morning light and a connection to the neighbourhood that its owner knows well.
For him, the appeal starts with the aspect:
“It faces east over Doggett Street, so the day starts with soft sun and the afternoons stay clear of the harsh western heat.”
Glass sliding doors span the living room and bedroom, opening to a Juliet balcony and drawing daylight into the apartment. Across the street, a heritage-listed 1920s warehouse, now used as offices, adds character to the outlook.
The owner describes it as “a low-rise, characterful outlook, clear morning light and no one looking back after hours or on weekends.”
His appreciation for the apartment extends to the practical details:
“Level 2 is the sweet spot. You’re nestled in the street trees, a short lift ride from the lobby, and your car park is on the same level as your front door. No basement trek, no waiting on the lift with the shopping.”
Inside, the layout makes thoughtful use of the space. The kitchen opens directly onto the living and dining area, anchored by a long peninsula bench. The bedroom includes a built-in robe, while a separate study nook provides a dedicated place to work from home. A European laundry and store cupboard keep everyday essentials tucked away, with air conditioning adding comfort through Brisbane’s warmer months.
Then there’s Newstead itself: Gasworks around the corner, the river a short walk away and the CBD approximately 3 km down the road.
Residents of Newstead Towers enjoy a pool, spa, gym and BBQ area within landscaped grounds, complemented by secure entry and on-site building management.
