Perched on the top floor of Bellevue Lodge - a tightly held complex of just six residences. This classic St Lucia apartment offers all the right fundamentals: solid brick construction, a north-facing balcony, and not a neighbour in sight.
Spread across 109m², it's a bright and breezy layout that separates bedrooms from the living area, provides modern updates where needed, and stays true to the timeless charm of older-style buildings built to last. The generous north-facing balcony is the hero here. Elevated, leafy, and sunlit, perfect for slow mornings or warm evenings with a breeze. Inside, the kitchen has been smartly refreshed, and both bedrooms are well-proportioned with built-ins and ceiling fans.
As a subtle nod to the suburb's rich history, the heritage-listed Avalon Theatre sits directly across the street - a 1920s building now thoughtfully restored by UQ as a cultural and performance space. It's a familiar local landmark and a quiet reminder of the character that makes St Lucia so enduring.
What we love about it:
• Top-floor position with no adjoining neighbours - rare privacy
• Solid brick walk-up in a boutique, well-maintained complex
• Just six residences in the building tightly held and rarely available
