Embraced by a quiet, tree-lined streetscape, this ground-floor Art Deco apartment offers a kind of charm that feels increasingly hard to come by in New Farm. One of only five in a tightly held 1930s building, it blends enduring character with the ease of single-level living, complete with a private courtyard.
The apartment opens with a softness that comes from its original detailing. High decorative ceilings, polished timber floors, picture rails and leadlight accents that enrich the light as it moves through the rooms. The living area is generous in scale and invites a natural flow toward a sunroom, where built-in shelving adds both function and personality. This space transitions effortlessly outdoors to a private open-air courtyard, creating a garden-like setting for morning coffee or relaxed entertaining.
The wrap-around kitchen sits separately, its black-and-white flooring adding a bold nod to the home's era. Practical in layout, it includes generous storage, a freestanding cooktop and oven, dishwasher and double sink. The adjoining dining space is a thoughtful progression from the many eat-in kitchens typical of its time, finished with plantation shutters, extra storage and rear access for everyday convenience.
Both bedrooms are quietly positioned and well proportioned, ensuring privacy and a sense of sanctuary while air-conditioning to the master adds comfort through the warmer months. The central bathroom is functional as is, with scope to introduce contemporary touches if desired.
The building itself holds strong architectural presence, with its double-brick construction, symmetrical façade and established gardens reflecting the craftsmanship of its era. With only five residences, there's an inherent sense of exclusivity and long-term ownership appeal. Secure car accommodation and onsite laundry facilities adds everyday convenience.
From this address, the best of New Farm unfolds within a short walk, the river, New Farm Park, Merthyr Village, neighbourhood cafés, Howard Smith Wharves and the dining destinations of James Street. Transport options are close, yet the tree-lined street remains wonderfully peaceful, defined by character homes and leafy outlooks.
Opportunities within this building seldom arise. For those seeking a rare blend of history, privacy and outdoor living in one of New Farm's most admired pockets, this residence is well worth exploring. Enquire to arrange your inspection.
