A Riverfront Apartment with a Theatre of River & City Views to Impress the Most Experienced of Luxury Buyers
Inspect By Appointment
From a spectacular corner position in the prestigious Southbank Apartments tower, this outstanding two-bedroom apartment presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a premium riverside city-edge investment.
Located on level 9, this exceptional apartment enjoys the perfect height to appreciate the magnificent theatre of scenic river grandeur spread out far below.
Indoor/outdoor living spaces seem to project outwards into an azure sky that melts into a spectacular shimmering waterscape and follow the broad expanse of the South Brisbane Reach of the river to Milton and beyond. A 220 degree panorama takes in a broad sweep of the urban landscape to include an iridescent mosaic of the inner city skyline, iconic bridges, the many moods of the river and its watercraft, the restful green belt of the Botanic Gardens and the lofty terrain of nature???s riverfront cliffs and distant mountains.
No matter what direction you look, the experiences are totally inspiring ??? impressive by day and delightful by night as the skyline lights up in a display that seems designed to captivate just you and your guests.
Its location refines the very concept of luxury river living. Beyond this cocoon of luxury are all the attractions of Southbank and with the ease of a changing tide, you can move from the sanctuary of home to a city adventure.
Built to the highest standards, the Southbank Apartments building is well recognized as the benchmark for luxury riverfront apartments with the highest standards of complex management.
Only from the inside is it possible to fully appreciate the luxurious elegance of this blue chip investment. Fresh from a brand new rejuvenation, it is the perfect infusion of clever design and chic contemporary finishes. With no one living in this home since it has been fully renovated, the new owner will basically be buying a ???brand new??? apartment. The crisp, white d??cor is balanced by sleek, natural stone elements designed to enhance a range of furnishing styles and to provide the perfect frame for a stunning river panorama.
It is an apartment with a floor plan calculated to draw the outlook deep into every room to simultaneously relax and stimulate your senses. There is a version of the view available from virtually every part of the home - apart from the minor exceptions of the bathrooms and the laundry.
An impressive catalogue of fixtures and fittings includes mirror-finish ceramic tiles throughout, reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans, quality lighting, German crafted Hansa tapware, frameless shower enclosures, two-pack cabinetry, key card lift security and video intercom.
Another significant feature is the high-end remote controlled motorised internal blinds. At the touch of a hand-held remote control button you can adjust any or all of the blinds throughout the apartment. Inside, there is a choice of two overlapping blinds ??? sunscreen or block out. External sunscreen blinds offer easy manual operation.
The spacious open plan of the living area flows seamlessly through an expanse of moveable glass to the balcony ??? a space large enough for al fresco dining, a barbeque or simply lying back, soaking up the morning sun and relaxing high above the water.
The broad lifestyle balcony stretches from the main outdoors living space past the bedroom suites in a gentle angled design that seems to echo the natural curves of the riverbanks. The glass balustrading ensures that the river, cityscape and views across distant suburbs are left clear and unobstructed. Peak quality Victory sunscreen blinds can be opened or closed in seconds, or can be set to any intermediate position to allow full control over the elements without impeding on the view.
The pervading sense of openness and space extends to the kitchen. A rare blend of beauty, durability, efficiency and craftsmanship is created in the designer kitchen ??? superb in every detail from polished granite benchtops to the gleaming stainless steel Fisher & Paykel cooking appliances and white Simpson dishwasher to the sleek glass splashbacks. Banks of streamlined two-pack cabinetry define the stylish kitchen without interrupting sight lines.
The master suite steals the show with its stunning perpetual river outlook. A complete wall of mirrored built-in ???his-and-hers??? wardrobes, with a further wardrobe in the ensuite, offers an array of shelving and hanging space that would bring order to any fashionista???s collection. Bedroom two also features a mirrored built-in wardrobe.
The 5-star treatment continues in the ensuite and bathroom where the elegance and luxury of black granite highlights the two-pack vanities. Frameless glass shower enclosures, gleaming German-crafted adjustable tapware and marble mosaics add touches of sophistication and visual interest.
