Last Listing description (June 2026)
5/60 Raff Street, Spring Hill
Positioned within the enchanting and nostalgic Studebaker Loft Apartments, this fully renovated three-level residence offers a rare opportunity to own a home that carries both architectural character and a strong connection to Brisbane's past. The building's origins trace back to the early 20th century and reflect a time when craftsmanship was revered. The property has been reimagined for contemporary inner-city living, with thoughtful and innovative upgrades throughout.
From the moment you enter, the architectural interiors create an immediate sense of warmth and individuality. Herringbone wood flooring underfoot, exposed beams overhead and a carefully curated material palette give the home a distinctive personality that sets it apart from standard apartment living. The first floor brings everyday life together in a welcoming way, with the kitchen, dining and living zones opening onto a rear balcony with city views.
The kitchen has been designed for both practicality and visual impact in mind, featuring an induction cooktop, wall oven, stone benchtops, manoeuvrable island bench, pantry, premium tapware and boutique Italian splashback. It is a space that invites connection, whether preparing a quiet midweek meal or hosting friends. The adjoining living and dining area extends naturally outdoors, where the balcony becomes a place for alfresco meals, relaxed evenings and those spontaneous moments that make inner-city living so enjoyable.
Upstairs, the second level is dedicated to rest and retreat. The master bedroom enjoys its own private balcony and ensuite with walk-in shower and refined finishes, while the second bedroom is well-appointed with built-in storage and air-conditioning. The family bathroom features full-height tiling, thoughtful detailing and a full-length bath. Both bathrooms feature handmade Italian tiles, adding to the home's sense of glamour and style.
The third-floor loft-style bedroom is accessed via a bespoke folding staircase, a clever and space-conscious addition. The room offers privacy and versatility, enhanced by a panelled ceiling, its own climate control and two fully operable skylights, that invite natural light in and open to reveal striking views of the city skyline and night sky.
The recent renovations have been carefully considered to enhance comfort, efficiency and liveability. New laminated windows and doors provide both noise and UV reduction, while practically invisible fly screens allow for carefree year-round indoor-outdoor living. A full electrical upgrade completed in 2024 allows for seamless integration of solar and battery systems, offering the ability to manage energy use efficiently and cost-effectively and even charge an electric vehicle directly from stored power. This forward-thinking infrastructure aligns with modern living while reducing day-to-day running costs.
Outside, the setting adds another layer of appeal. A striking mural, part of the Brisbane Street Art Festival 2025, brings colour and creativity to the building's exterior, reinforcing the vibrant and evolving character of the precinct. In addition, the office complex below the residences has recently undergone a multi-million-dollar upgrade, which has benefitted the entire Studebaker block, including upgrades of the fire alarm systems and the addition of security cameras, video intercoms and new street lighting.
Everything you need is within easy reach, with the CBD, schools, transport, shopping, dining and major lifestyle destinations all close by. The location also places you near the future Olympic stadium at Victoria Park, adding a sense of long-term significance to an already well-connected address.
This is a home that offers more than a residence. It provides a sense of place, a connection to Brisbane's story and a lifestyle shaped by walkability, design and thoughtful modernisation.
