UNIT 2/63 MORAY STREET, New Farm, Qld 4005

Perched atop New Farm's once-voted "Brisbane's most liveable street", you will find this tranquil, 2-bedroomed apartment in a secluded ground floor location, hidden amongst the trees above the beautiful Brisbane River. With its overlook of Jacaranda tree tops, cityscape and Story Bridge lights with periodic fireworks through the trees, you'll enjoy how its floor to ceiling glass sliding doors right across its frontage draw nature in ... with wildlife, just beyond, grazing on the lawn. Fully-screened, its interior flows out to its balcony and into the newly landscaped lawn and gardens which take your eye to the river and floating walkway below.

This peaceful residence (larger by two rooms than the apartments above), featuring built-ins in both bedrooms - the main bedroom opening up onto the balcony, the second doubling up as a home office - is partially renovated so there is still plenty of scope for you to add your personal finishing touches to make this into a stunning private oasis. The unique feature of an external doorway to the second bedroom is perfect for a shift worker's quiet entry by night. Its unique unfrequented setting, boasting no pedestrian (or vehicular) traffic, makes this quiet and serene apartment - with its two-door access and the privacy of a small outdoor entertaining area right outside its balcony door - a retreat to the bustle of New Farm ... and akin to stand-alone living. Its floor to ceiling security grilles allow for safe evening enjoyment of its tucked-away position, complete with the sounds of boats cruising along the river and of waves lapping from their wash in the quiet of the night.

This 1960s character building of 12 apartments - with its "lace" breezeway facade well-known as an icon of Moray Street - is pet-friendly ... and offers a lifestyle choice with no comparisons that draws thousands to the busy yet beautiful cultural hub of New Farm. Only footsteps up the street from your apartment is Wilson Outlook Reserve with its sweeping views of the city skyline and stunning views of the towering Story Bridge, utilised for romantic sunset picnics, bridal photography and tai chi, and which features unique outdoor lifts down the cliffs to the magnificent Howard Smith Wharves waterside tourist attraction below boasting bars, top end restaurants, live music and riverside playgrounds. Enjoy the exciting James Street Precinct and the central Fortitude Valley district or take the ferry to the Brisbane Powerhouse. Walk to work along the river to the CBD, or to New Farm's art galleries, trendy bars, restaurants, farmers' market and boutiques closeby ... only to then stroll back home to nature and river life for evening drinks on the lawn.

If you are looking for an investment, the apartment enjoys and attracts long tenancies and good rental returns. This enchanting hidden secret is a gem for the romantic at heart and for the astute buyer who has an eye for position, ambience and potential. With a lovely south west aspect, on-street parking is available for you and your visitors. Public transport is a two-minute walk away past gorgeous architecture ranging from striking art deco, to rambling historic homes, to stunning contemporary premiere designer apartment complexes. This beautifully located apartment - in a suburb ranking 4 in SitchU's Brisbane's 11 Most Liveable Suburbs, and ranking 5 in PropertyUpdate's Brisbane's Most Wealthy Suburbs - stands apart on its own for its uniqueness in the New Farm apartment market.
