5/48 Rialto Street, Coorparoo QLD 4151

Let?s face it: Coorparoo isn?t lacking in the apartment stakes. But sometimes it can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
During the love-ins of the ?60s and ?70s this is where all the best apartments were born. Ones with style and soul (not paper-thin walls and cheap-as-chips fittings).
This top-floor two-bedroom home is no exception. With solid bones and plenty of personality, this breezy unit in a small complex of 6 is perfect for those who kinda like the idea of knowing who their neighbours are, instead of being unit #57000 in a tower reaching towards the sky.
But what this beautifully renovated unit really offers is a brilliant location, invaluable northern aspect, floorboards underfoot and spaciousness. Oodles of it.
Sure, the exterior is a little older, but the building doesn?t scream ?murder scene?. And all the things new builds are missing are here: Soaring ceilings, large wardrobes, separate bath and toilet, and separation between the bedrooms.
You?ll be kept cool in summer with split-system air conditioning to the main living/dining area and ceiling fans in each bedroom, warm in winter from sunshine drenching the large balcony, and happy all year ?round with your New York-style kitchen with front-loader washing machine tucked neatly under the bench.
Built-in wardrobes, a large linen cupboard and extra storage in the huge downstairs garage provides plenty of comfort for hoarders too.
Looking for your first apartment can really do your head in but if being able to jump on an express bus into South Brisbane or the CBD within a 5-minute walk ? or having your espresso fix close enough to smell the beans roasting from Stones Corner ? are high on your agenda, you?ve already ticked two boxes here.
And, well, if there?s something you can?t buy from within a 1km radius of this unit (delicious fresh produce, sourdough bread and gooey cheese notwithstanding), you probably don?t really need it.
If Bunnings on a Saturday makes you break out in hives...
And you?ve got precisely 7.25 minutes of spare time in your week where you could potentially fit in overseeing a renovation project.
Walking into a unit like this where this is nothing to do but add your personal styling touch, you?ll immediately know you?ve found ?the one?.
