As Brisbane takes its place on the international stage, its historically significant architectural landmarks continue to shine in prime lifestyle locations. New Farm's "Watsonia" exemplifies this, and this first-floor, easterly-facing apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a visually striking character home highly prized in the luxury market. Originally crafted by the renowned architectural firm Chambers and Ford and recently renovated with uncompromising attention to Art Deco and Spanish Mission detail, the residence exudes timeless sophistication as a private urban sanctuary.
The superior sense of livability is enhanced by intelligent functionality: a spacious living room opens to a delightful wallpapered sunroom, which captures river breezes through a large bank of leadlight windows. Perfect as a design studio or office, it currently doubles as a second generous bedroom. The master bedroom suite features an adjoining walk-in wardrobe through original French doors, which could readily be converted back into another bedroom. A new designer bathroom and well-appointed separate laundry have marble flooring, Wyer + Craw cabinetry and ample storage. A long gallery hallway leads into a light-filled kitchen with a breakfast nook and premium appliances. Custom Belgian linen Roman blinds, a striking antique French Art Deco bronze living room pendant, and imported brass and bronze designer picture lighting create a soft and cultured ambience.
Notable additions include secure tandem parking, new external sensor lighting, and a recently refurbished foyer and stairwell sympathetic to the building's original character, featuring substantial wainscoting, a herringbone-patterned stair runner, ambient stair lights, and an audio-visual intercom.
