On the doorstep of Brisbane's renowned inner-city cultural and leisure precinct - home to world-class galleries, performance venues, and the stunning Southbank Parklands - and a relaxing 10-minute wander over the river into the CBD itself, Hope Street Apartments offers unrivalled urban convenience - and this is your chance to secure a slice of the good life! Cool or cosy year-round, at your pleasure thanks to ducted A/C throughout its light-filled interior, this one-bedroom apartment boasts a space-smart, free-flowing layout that optimises every square meter available. From the tiled entry foyer, a short passage veers off to the left with a concealed laundry on one side, and two valuable storage cupboards, including a linen press, opposite. At the end is a good-sized bathroom - well-appointed with a roomy glass-enclosed shower, a chic vanity unit with handy under-sink storage, and a toilet. Heading straight ahead, towards the light pouring gloriously into the combined living and dining area through a wall of full-height glass onto the balcony,a high-functioning galley kitchen provides the first welcome discovery. A considered design ensures there's all the room, storage and equipment you need here to conjure and serve up tasty meals for a hungry crew of your closest friends! Beside the fridge and its adjacent waist-height microwave nook, is an expansive white workbench housing a recessed sink with fashionable tapware, dishwasher, electric oven, and a gas cooker with rangehood. White is also the chosen hue for the abundant soft close, handle-free cabinetry that runs above and below a stunning marble splashback. The bench makes a 90-degree turn at the end where it transforms into a dining bar - perfect for two stools and enjoying a casual snack or mid-week meal. Style the adjacent living, and dining space as you see fit - but there's easily room for a standalone table for two, a three-seater sofa, and an armchair, plus a desk against the wall. There are abundant options for creating just the right atmosphere too: run the ducted A/C, flick on the ceiling fan for low-key air circulation, or open the slider onto the glass balustraded balcony and let in a cool breeze off the river. Out here, you can set up a small outdoor table and while away hours taking in the vistas of the city and water way. Rounding out this apartment is the carpeted bedroom, accessed by a space-saving slider next to the dining bar. A long bank of mirrored built-in robes makes this room feel bigger and reflects the blue sky over a Brisbane day and the flicker of city lights in the evening. Residency at Hope Street delivers a wealth of benefits for the lover of recreational pursuits. On-site you can enjoy the use of a large, inground swimming pool with an adjoining spa, a sauna, a fully equipped gym, and an outdoor entertaining area with a built-in BBQ zone. Venture out the complex entrance foyer on foot and whether you want a culture fix, a divine food experience, a riverside walk, or just a coffee - everything is at your fingertips with Fish Lane, Southbank, QPAC, QLD Art Gallery, and State Library all no further than a 10-minute walk. There's a single-car bay with this apartment if you need to head further afield than this side of town or the CBD itself, or you can walk the cruisy 6 minutes to South Bank Ferry Terminal or 8 to Southbank train station. For contemporary, city-side apartment living with luxed-up extras, you won't find better!
