Last Listing description (June 2018)

Loved for over 24 years by the current owner, this top-level art deco is charming, warm and inviting. Bursting with yesteryear's character and architecture, this earlier period property is always highly sought after and rightly so. More importantly, as you walk in, you immediately feel at home it's no surprise considering how much the current owner has adored and cherished her abode.
Perfectly positioned to enjoy both views (CBD & suburb) and River breezes and only a short stroll to all this pocket offers- including the Continental Restaurant (My favorite), New Farm Cinema, Wilson's Outlook, amazing Views of both the Story Bridge and Brisbane's CBD, the soon-to-be-built Howard Smith Wharf Development, James Street Precinct and all the entertainment one could ask for in the Fortitude Valley.
Extremely rare and sought-after, original and livable, although an opportunity exists to truly make this your own. Prominent Art Deco features include ornate ceilings, picture railings, period stained glassed windows and wide overhanging eaves. The Spanish Mission inspired building was built circa 1930's and has a distinctive double red brick flair. 'This building feature has ensured a very quiet living environment'.

A parquetry laid foyer entry is divine with natural light flooding its space. The air-conditioned master bedroom is roomy and again flooded with natural light and river breezes. The second bedroom is spacious whilst the third is perfect for either a study, nursery and/or sleep out.
A romantic Juliette balcony is perfect for 'you' time- read, write or relax whilst watching the glistening lights of the city or the passersby of Moray Street. A private rear balcony is also another break out cool space which is shared with the owner of unit 6.
The bathroom is classic black and white juxtaposed tiles and comfortable, although you could spruce it up to your liking. One secured car space at the rear is perfectly positioned for entry and exiting the dual access building.
Climate controlled, the living room is the perfect media room or warm and inviting space to entertain friends over some wine and cheese.... to the rear of the living room is the 3rd room which is the home office, a versatile space which could easily convert to a nursery or sleep out.
The building itself is very secure with intercom and security doors to ensure safety. 'I've always felt very safe in this apartment'. The building is on the Heritage register to ensure it's looked after for years to come.
