Take your place in history with this magnificent 3-bedroom apartment, part of the Winchcombe Carson Woolstore (WCW) Apartments complex. Built in 1911 and renovated in 2004 by Arqus Design, The Woolstore has been an iconic landmark in cosmopolitan Teneriffe since it was a wharfside hotspot for industry. Highly sought after, this building is home to discerning owner/occupiers who insist on quality and a prime location.
You can live by the winding Brisbane River, just 280m from the CityCat ferry terminal. From there, you can travel up and down the river at your leisure, visiting South Bank, the Cultural Precinct, Portside, Howard Smith Wharves, New Farm Park, and so much more! Walk or cycle the riverside bikeways or explore your new neighbourhood and its endless array of cafes, bars, restaurants and boutique shops.
This spectacular apartment has been lovingly presented to be part hark-back to the good old days and part modern conversion. Step inside and you'll likely feel right at home thanks to the warmth of the original polished wooden floors, the exposed brickwork, the extremely generous floor space, the lush inviting balcony, and the outstanding kitchen.
If cooking is your passion - or even if it's something you'd rather avoid - the Darren James designed and built kitchen will have you pulling out the cookware. Equipped with an induction cooktop, stone benchtops, premium cabinetry, a dual bowl sink, integrated dishwasher, large pantry, built-in wine fridges and a Zip tap with sparkling and chilled water, it certainly sets the tone for home-cooked gourmet cuisine. And when you don't feel like cooking, you have limitless options for takeaway and home delivery, thanks to the abundance of restaurants in the local area.
Dine on the partially enclosed balcony any time of year and enjoy the historic outlook, with early 1900s construction to spark your imagination of a century gone by. The balcony has a heater, ceiling fan and dimmer lighting along with roll-down blinds, CrimSafe screens and wide-opening doors.
Back inside, the master suite is a deluxe retreat, featuring 5m x 4m floor space plus a built-in cabinetry, air-conditioning, walk-in wardrobe and plush ensuite with dual vanities, a rain showerhead and a heated towel rail.
Bedroom 2 is almost as large and bedroom 3 features reverse cycle aircon, a built-in desk and storage space. Both bedrooms have CrimSafe window screens.
In the main bathroom, a shower-over-bathtub, floating vanity, mirrored wall cabinets and floor-to-ceiling tiles present a luxury environment for pampering. Sensor lighting and a heated towel rail add to the premium appointments.
The laundry and linen storage are cleverly concealed behind closet doors.
This complex boasts a sparkling swimming pool with lounging lawn, barbecue and undercover tables and chairs, in a tropical setting with mature palms and trees. Inside, you'll be fascinated by the museum-style exhibits throughout the common areas, telling the story of the local area.
As lifestyle goes, you will be thoroughly delighted with the local offerings and conveniences, with a Woolworths Metro just 100m away and easy access to multiple dining, shopping, and entertainment precincts in the area.
