11 Apex Street

Balmoral QLD 4171

The construction of this home was carefully considered from start to finish. Undoubtedly solid and secure with 900mm thick reinforced concrete at the base tapering off to 200mm thick at the top, the facade presents an industrial structure designed to stand the test of time. With the help of architects Conrad Gargett Riddell, this once redundant tower has been transformed into a sensationally clever family home designed around a single classical column.
The floor plan, customised to perfectly suit the size and shape of the tower, offers generous living areas that are completely open to one another, inviting family living and entertaining across all scales. A gourmet kitchen offers a central gathering point at the heart of the home while an indoor/outdoor entertaining area encourages a seamless lifestyle balance with that coveted north-easterly aspect. Rich interiors are grounded in classic design, incorporating polished timber and creamy tones that contrast against such industrial elements as original exposed beams, corrugated steel and concrete.
Strategically placed windows have been created at key points throughout to take full advantage of the sensational views that encompass all of Brisbane and beyond. To the north, take in views of the Gateway reflecting off the Brisbane River while the main living areas enjoy the incandescent glow of the city and Storey Bridge. Ascend to the roof to capture it all in one continuous panoramic sweep that stretches in all directions as far as the eye can see.
There is no shortage of outstanding features that provide delightful surprises while promoting comfort and convenience. This includes four oversized bedrooms, three of which are positioned together. The fourth, situated on the west side of the home, offers added privacy for overnight guests. There is also a private office that can be accessed from the master retreat via internal stairs and parking for several cars across the lower level while allowing ample room for car enthusiasts, parties or play area.
Positioned high and proud on prestigious Apex Street, this elevated location not only captures Brisbane's best views with peace and tranquillity, but also offers an ultra-convenient lifestyle with all amenities at your fingertips. Truly original and extraordinary in every sense, this stunning residence simply must be seen.
