The ultimate experience in luxe living and convenience

In a stellar location, only 6 minutes from the city and two minutes from the University of Queensland, River Park View presents accessibility yet offers a quiet retreat within walking distance to the ultimate in convenience and lifestyle. This recently renovated apartment lies 100 metres from the Guyatt Park City Cat ferry, whisking you off to West End, UQ, South Bank, or the City in a matter of minutes. <br/><br/>Apart from its proximity to everything, this tightly held complex of River Park View also has its own unique features – an inground salt-water pool, barbecue, large indoor gym, separate male and female saunas, a tennis court, full-time maintenance person who cares for the gardens and a recently installed elevator. <br/><br/>The apartment itself is luxurious and stylish, having been redesigned only three years ago in ensemble colours of black, grey and mirrored kickbacks and splashbacks. With three double bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and air-conditioning throughout, the property offers the very best in luxury characteristics. The master bedroom is replete with mirrored built-in robes as are the other bedrooms and boasts an ensuite with three shower roses. The unit also swanks day-and-night window blinds to catch diffused light from its north-facing river views. It also has ginger plants down the western side of the property to give shade and privacy for the residents. <br/><br/>The kitchen is a perfect example of the luxury this unit affords, boasting a Neff induction stove top, a Zug double oven, integrated Bosch dishwasher, butler’s pantry and touch-close drawers. With plenty of bench space, it’s a chef’s dream. On the other side of the kitchen, there are spacious cabinets for linen, a pull-down ironing board, crockery and towels.<br/><br/>Through the glass doors from the kitchen and lounge lies the balcony looking out to the river and the city. It’s the ideal place to have an early morning coffee, affording a lovely view of its environs.<br/><br/>Laminate oak flooring softens the footfalls through heavy traffic areas and plush soft shag carpet lines the bedrooms.<br/><br/>A rare bonus feature of the property is its two separate lock-up garages – one of the garages which is currently used as a storage space is 9 metres long. It is extremely uncommon to find such great storage in apartment living, making it ideal for downsizers. One of the garages is currently rented out by Parkhound, netting the owner $70 per week.<br/><br/>Made of cavity brick with its attendant insulation properties and shield against termites, Unit 37 lies on the first floor, offering privacy and stunning views. <br/><br/>In keeping with the luxurious appointments of the property, it also has a capacious laundry with room for cleaning materials. No more sliding doors for the humble laundry.<br/><br/>As a stylish riverside pad for seasoned professionals, luxury downsizers, and those seeking comfort, convenience and lifestyle, Unit 37 offers accessibility to the best of urban living. As a wise investment for parents who want their student children to live close to UQ, it offers gilt-edged returns.<br/><br/>LOCATION<br/>At only 5 kilometres from the city centre, the leafy suburb of St Lucia is set on a curve of the Brisbane River which beckons with its impressive riverscape and relaxing greenery. To the north lies the up-market residential suburb of Toowong with its glittering Toowong Tower for shopping options and to the west, Indooroopilly where you’ll find the retail and cinema centre of Westfield Shopping Town. <br/><br/>St Lucia appeals to both the family, professional and student markets with its iconic University of Queensland and the primary school of Ironside State School with its 940 students. Secondary students in St Lucia attend the nearby school of Indooroopilly High which celebrates multicultural and socio-economic diversity in their school community or seek out the private Brisbane Boys’ College – one of the most illustrious educational establishments in Brisbane. <br/><br/>As well as first-class educational opportunities, St Lucia residents enjoy the leafy parks of Perrin, Guyatt and Robertson Parks. Perrin Park boasts two bike paths – one being a figure 8 with kiddies’ street signs and a larger one for adults. It also offers new equipment such as playground equipment for younger and older kids, table tennis table, City Cat ferry, barbecue facilities and has its own fully fenced, off-leash dog park. <br/><br/>The swift transport links to the city cannot be bettered from St Lucia as the City Cat ferry is within a two-minute walk. The apartment also lies a stone’s throw from the Toowong train station, giving commuters a 10-minute trip to the city on the Richlands line. Bryce Street is also served by the 412 and the 411 buses that offer a 20-minute journey to the city.<br/><br/>With regular transport links, exceptional educational facilities and retail opportunities galore, it’s no wonder a blend of young professionals and investors are attracted by the cachet of the 4067 postcode.
