Without doubt, this beautifully presented apartment offers everything you need for an easy, convenient life - it's sure to impress even the most discerning buyer. It will suit downsizers, families, singles, couples, those looking for a home-away-from home for UQ students, regional people searching for a Brisbane base, investors. Be sure to inspect at your earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.
The location here is important ... within the sought-after Ironside Primary and Indooroopilly High School catchments, close to the University of Queensland, and within walking distance of Toowong Village, train, bus, and CityCat services. Cyclists can easily ride to the CBD or UQ, or Dutton Park via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge.
Number 4 is one of only twelve apartments, (two per floor) in this iconic building which is so well known to the St Lucia community. Sitting proudly at the high point of Sandford Street, it is admired for its distinctive architectural style and commanding position.
You'll be pleased to know that 40 Sandford Street remained safe and dry through every flood event since 1974. In fact, it became a gathering point for neighbours during those times, where residents enjoyed BBQs and hospitality in the true spirit of community. The Sandford Street enclave is something special - it has always had the 'heart' of a village, with residents who know one another, friendships that have lasted decades, neighbours who exercise together or walk around the 'river circuit' each day, along with social events for those who wish to join. Properties here are tightly held and rarely come to market, a recommendation indeed!
Number 4 has been meticulously maintained by its owners who are now sadly saying farewell to the home they have loved for over 12 years. Positioned on level 2, just one easy flight of stairs up from the foyer, the apartment is accessible via both lift and a wide, light-filled stairwell, perfect for those who prefer not to rely on a lift. Access is wheelchair friendly - from the street to your apartment, or to your car in the basement garages.
If you're among a cohort of buyers who prefers the comfort and connection of 'living a little closer to the ground', this apartment is ideal. It is nicely elevated to ensure you have attractive views yet offers a close relationship with the manicured lawns and gardens that surround the complex. The expansive gardens of neighbouring properties are a delight too and add to the sense of space, openness and light which you'll enjoy all-year-round.
The full-length balcony, accessible from the living rooms, is a true highlight. From here, you'll enjoy impressive views of the Toowong and Auchenflower skyline, Brisbane's river, Brisbane's cityscape, Mt Coot-tha's towers, and the twinkling lights of neighbouring apartment buildings, so pretty at night. Cooling breezes add to the home's inviting ambiance - plenty of light, generous spaces, high ceilings, clean-lines, and fresh, neutral colours. Just perfect!
The apartment features a formal entry, spacious living and dining area, a neat/tidy kitchen, 3 oversized bedrooms with excellent storage, a family bathroom, and a second bathroom/laundry with private drying deck. There is also a larger-than-average sized garage with space for a workbench, motorbikes, bicycles, or surfboards, plus a separate storeroom (some have even converted theirs into a wine cellar).
Don't waste a minute, inspect at your earliest opportunity, they don't last long at 40 Sandford Street. You'll consider yourself fortunate should you be the successful buyer of this lovely apartment, River-Fire and New Year's Eve fireworks at your place will be a treat for the whole family.
