Lvl 1/229 Queen Street, Brisbane City, Qld 4000

Every now and then, an apartment comes to market that is genuinely something special – and this is certainly one of them.

Positioned on Level 1 of the iconic MacArthur Chambers, this beautifully presented residence occupies the highly sought after O2 floor plan on the north-western corner of Queen and Edward Streets.

There is an unmistakable New York feel to this apartment. High ceilings, beautiful timber floors, decorative cornices, ornate skirting boards and magnificent almost floor-to-ceiling windows create a home with warmth, character and an incredible sense of space.

Beyond those windows is an outlook that could hardly be more Brisbane – straight down Queen Street Mall from one of the most recognised corners in the CBD.

Despite the location, the apartment is remarkably peaceful, with the original heritage windows complemented by internal soundproofing glazing.

The enormous living and dining area is undoubtedly one of the highlights. Generous proportions, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light make this a space rarely found in a CBD apartment, particularly within a heritage building.

Sitting slightly elevated above the living area, the kitchen enjoys its own outlook across the apartment and towards Queen Street Mall. It features granite benchtops, Smeg appliances, gas cooking, electric oven, dishwasher, rangehood, double sinks, excellent cabinetry, pantry storage and provision for a plumbed refrigerator.

A full internal laundry is conveniently positioned off the kitchen and can be completely closed away.

The home's subtle changes in level add enormously to its character.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and both feature their own ensuite, meaning either could comfortably serve as the main bedroom.

One includes an extensive wall of built-in wardrobes and easily accommodates the substantial four-poster bed currently in place. Its ensuite is finished in floor-to-ceiling marble with a corner shower, vanity and toilet.

The second bedroom features a walk-through wardrobe with storage to either side, leading to another marble ensuite complete with corner spa bath.

Adding further practicality is a spacious dedicated study – currently used as an impressive work-from-home space – along with a separate powder room providing a third toilet and additional hallway storage.

And then there is MacArthur Chambers itself.

Steeped in Brisbane history, the building takes its name from General Douglas MacArthur, whose wartime headquarters were located here during the Second World War. Today, the MacArthur Museum occupies Level 8, while residents enjoy pool and barbecue facilities on Level 9, onsite management and an active body corporate committee.

Step outside the building and Queen Street Mall is literally across the road, with the Apple Store occupying the ground floor of MacArthur Chambers itself.

For buyers who have been waiting for one of these tightly held corner residences to become available, this is the opportunity.
