10/11 Austral Street, St Lucia, Qld 4067

There is a certain kind of townhouse that simply does not get built anymore, and 10/11 Austral Street is exactly that. Set within the tightly held Elms complex, this is classic 1980s brick architecture at its best, with rich masonry, decorative ironwork, numerous balconies and a layout that feels generous, practical and quietly impressive from the moment you step inside.

The arrival to the home is cleverly designed with dual access options, either via the formal front entry alongside the lock-up garage or through the rear of the complex, where direct access leads to the private courtyard and ground floor multipurpose suite. This flexible layout adds an extra layer of practicality for guests, working from home or day-to-day convenience.

Upstairs, the main living level feels immediately expansive, anchored by a traditional brick fireplace, soaring ceilings and a central stairwell that gives the space both openness and definition. Large glass sliders draw in natural light and connect seamlessly to balconies at either end, creating excellent airflow and an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.

Across the versatile three level design, the home offers two dedicated bedrooms, two bathrooms and a single lock up garage, with the ground floor multipurpose providing excellent flexibility for guests, working from home or third bedroom unlike many townhouses of the era, the layout feels practical, well separated and genuinely spacious, while the owner's recent cosmetic updates allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy from day one.

Upstairs, the home opens out to elevated, twin balconies with leafy outlooks across the complex, where palms, open lawn and the pool create a resort-style backdrop that is hard to replicate this close to the city. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of volume, while the kitchen remains original yet functional with a strong footprint to work with. The main bathroom presents the perfect opportunity for further update, letting the next owner elevate the home without needing to reinvent what already works.

All of this sits in one of St Lucia's most connected pockets, moments to the University of Queensland, within the highly coveted Ironside and Indooroopilly State School catchments.
