1/32 Moray Street, New Farm QLD 4005

'Edgecliffe' was built in 1936 for William Danaher, one of Brisbane's foremost bookmakers. This historic block of flats was built on the former 'Hawstead' estate, which extended from Moray St to Bowen Tce. The new flats were built during the interwar boom, catering for growing demand for accommodation in New Farm. The distinctive features of this beautiful residence remain largely identical to its' original design description: 'A three storey, symmetrical building with a vertical stairwell window juxtaposed by the streamlined horizontal stucco and brick banding and faceted bay windows with wide overhanging eaves'.

Throughout the best part of a century, 'Edgecliffe' has proudly watched, atop its perch on Moray Street, as New Farm and indeed the River City transformed into the metropolitan and Olympic City we know today. As history repeats itself, the demand for accommodation in New Farm is again on the rise. Take the opportunity to secure one of the original residences in a beautiful suburb, taking in the historic charm and delight with all the modern conveniences one could need.

The current owners have painstakingly, lovingly and at great expense, refitted and refurbished this beautiful complex. Some of the major works include;

- in ground infrastructure such as storm water and sewer services have been renewed
- a lift has been installed for access to upper floors
- security gates and lighting have been installed;
- the terracotta roof tiling has been replaced where damaged, metal valley flashings replaced and ridge cappings repointed.
- internal access to the roof for maintenance has been installed.
- the building has been recently repainted

Unlike many of the modern apartments, 'Edgecliffe' offers its lucky residents generous floor plans, thoughtful design and a real sense of 'home'. Boosted by the owners renovations and effort, these are now some of the most liveable properties available to buy. The true enthusiast will notice elements of both Parisian and American Industrial Art Deco style in the unique cornices, pictures rails and custom joinery.

A short stroll from Howard Smith Wharves, New Farm Park, James Street and the CBD there are so many reasons to love this location and this property.
