1/38 Durham Street, St Lucia QLD 4067

Say goodbye to stairs! This delightful, ground-floor home has coveted, direct garage access and its own, exclusive courtyard entrance. It's so private you'll forget you're part of an apartment complex. Positioned above the 2022, 2011 and 1974 flood levels, this North-facing 'Mutuals' apartment comes to the market for the first time in 42 years. This is a highly prized home, being parted ways with by the original owner with great regret but fond memories.

The home offers low-maintenance tiled floors, air-conditioned, open-plan living, and a private, leafy courtyard. The kitchen features a large pantry, Fisher & Paykel dish-drawer, insinkerator and Westinghouse electric cooking appliances, all overlooking the 42sqm courtyard. With Crimsafe screens and ceiling fans throughout, the home keeps beautifully cool during the steamy Queensland Summer. Both bedrooms open directly onto the courtyard, with the main bedroom enjoying a walk-in robe and ensuite. The main bathroom offers a combined shower and bath tub and houses the internal laundry.

The brick complex of 14 residences is set over a sprawling 2069sqm and positioned just a 400m stroll from The University of Queensland, 500m from Guyatt Park CityCat Terminal, 9010m from Ironside State School, a touch under 2km from Toowong Village and Toowong Station, and just over 5km by road from the City.

Apartments with direct garage access are a rarity, even among those on the ground floor - this one has dual entry, with one door motorised and the other manual (easily motorised!). It has almost all the perks of a house packed into the low-maintenance, lock-and-go convenience of a unit. The owner has cherished visits from butcher birds, Summer evenings in the courtyard and being able to dig and plant rather than just using pots.

If you're sick of stairs, and have been yearning for the quality of life that comes with a ground-floor home with a beautiful outdoor space, do not miss this one.
