Heritage listed Craigston appeals to people who appreciate architecture and style. The building was the first of its kind. Built in 1927-8 with 7 floors of residential property, street level was purpose-built as medical suites. It was Brisbane’s first residential high rise.
On offer is a beautifully renovated apartment facing King Edward Park and the CBD, providing a leisurely walk down Jacobs Ladder to Queens Plaza and the mall.
With period windows on three sides this second level apartment is accessed by the original lift and maids’ stairs. Lovers of entertaining will see sense in the modified floorplan – the dining room converts to a visitors’ guest bedroom. All the signature details of the period remain, ornate high ceilings and light fittings, crow's ash hardwood floors, and the brick fire place, ready to warm this residence in winter.
Functionality has crept in with sympathetic renovations of the kitchen, and bathrooms, extra cabinetry and air-conditioning.
There is a community roof top entertaining and intimate gazebo overlooking the CBD, a great space to enjoy with company.
The character of the building doesn’t disappoint, whether you are standing outside, or entering the lift, there is a feeling of our history, our heritage, and our Brisbane forebears with their ambitions.
As mentioned, Craigston was built in1928 preceding strata title. The ownership for each residence is held under ‘company title’.
