Can a suburb be both a haven of history and a vibrant, fun, youthful centre - a place at once an interesting mix of nostalgia and new? If that suburb happens to be Red Hill in inner-city Brisbane, then the answer to that question is certainly a resounding "Yes!"
You see, for Brisbane locals, Red Hill isn't just one of the oldest suburbs in the inner city. It was (and spiritually always will be) the home of the heritage-listed Red Hill Skate Arena - recently redeveloped as the Red Hill Cinemas, but maintaining the building's original terrazzo floor and long-standing quirky collection of super-cool, local street art.
An open-air picture theatre, then a teen nightclub before its famous iteration as the Red Hill Skate Arena, the iconic site is one of the most famous and storied in the suburb and its recent redevelopment provides a study in how urban renewal can take place with a nuanced appreciation of local history, with locals rallying to support maintaining Red Hill's unique character while also embracing the new.
Thus, as one of the newer developments located at the heart of this quaint and charming suburb, Vue Red Hill provides a contemporary architectural statement while seeking to exist side by side with transformed historic properties.
Designed to capitalise on the site's sparkling city views and its vibrant and connected inner-city location while providing a range of sophisticated and stylish contemporary apartment-style accommodation for a discerning and youthful demographic, now a rare opportunity exists to secure one of only a few available apartments in this quality development.
A ROLLING GOOD RESIDENCE WITH SPACE TO BOOT
One of just 3 single-level two bedroom residences currently available in this tightly-held inner city development, this fantastic apartment spins out large, light-filled living spaces and 2 generous bedroom spaces while occupying an elevated position on the building's top floor.
With light, bright and beautiful, free-flowing living, this property boasts a generous open plan lounge and dining area and an efficient, well-designed kitchen with island bench, all rolling out across an expansive tiled floor. Yet, the real beauty of this space is that it deftly slides across to a fabulous front viewing deck - an ideal freestyle breakout space for residents to catch their breath while taking in spectacular views of the sparkling disco ball of Brisbane's city lights.
Alongside the living, some fast footwork and a quick cross-floor puts you on a roll to discover the spacious master bedroom with reverse-cycle air conditioning, walk-in-robe and private ensuite, rounded out with direct access to the balcony via sliding glass doors. This comfortable master suite is also ideally separated from the apartment's second bedroom courtesy of some fabulous floorwork that sees the second bedroom tucked away behind the kitchen and adjacent to the entry hall.
This second sizeable, bright, airy, built-in bedroom is also serviced by its own conveniently-located bathroom and a concealed euro-style laundry. With such a functional floorplate, this apartment lends itself perfectly to shared accommodation with an opportunity for residents to maintain their own separate spaces or perhaps even have the second bedroom serve as a dedicated home office.
Indeed, you'll spin out at the myriad of features offered in this contemporary apartment, from its generous size, to its fantastic layout and brilliant freestyle breakout space capturing a vibrant neighbourhood atmosphere as well as cooling breezes. Yet, above all, perhaps its most impressive manoeuvre is that this chic, contemporary residence is capable of accommodating shared-style living while providing for individual space and privacy thanks to its considered floorplan, all while located in one of Brisbane's most popular inner-city suburbs.
THE LOCAL (ROLLER) DERBY
Located in the premier 'Vue Red Hill' development, this stylish apartment positions residents perfectly in-line for uni, with QUT's Kelvin Grove Village and creative arts precinct an easy glide just at the end of the street.
Residents can also freestyle it uphill to the top of Lower Clifton Terrace for a morning coffee fix at Black Rabbit Espresso or take the downhill run to Brisbane's iconic Normanby Hotel. With nearby Kelvin Grove and Musgrave Roads providing a range of regular public transportation options, it's also oh-so-easy to take a short roll into town, no toe-stop required.
Weekend options abound too thanks to this location's close proximity to neighbouring Paddington's restaurants and boutiques, the popular Barracks development, Caxton Street precinct and Brisbane's major sporting rink Suncorp Stadium. Closer to home, venture forth on a walking tour of your suburb as featured in many a Brisbane tourist guide and uncover Red Hill's famous local street art scene, starting at the old skate rink - now Red Hill Cinemas - where you can catch a dose of nostalgia as well as a show. A small and leafy pocket, it's easy to find your bearings around the blocks of this eclectic and vibrant suburb.
