St Lucia is a suburb sought-after for its priceless location — close to the city, shops and top academic institutions, it’s not often you can find a place with both space and convenience . until now.

Unit 2 in handy 194 Carmody Road is a ground-floor apartment in an eight-year-old secure complex boasting so much room it has to be seen to be believed, with its list of easy-living features including:
* Two private balconies including a massive covered entertaining deck with views to Mount Coot-tha;
* Three bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and a striking kitchen; and
* Plenty of storage, a two-car garage and handy access to schools, the University of Queensland, CityCat and buses.

High on the hill, the building has two locked entrances with security intercoms providing both peace-of-mind, privacy and each door offering access to just six units . but you’ll be forgiven for forgetting you are even in an apartment complex when it comes to Unit Two.

Inside, its spectacular first impression reveals a large open-plan lounge with built-in cabinetry and neutral tiles, flowing out to a massive entertaining deck.

This really is the jewel in the crown of this quiet and convenient property . with outdoor power, taps, newly painted rendered walls, raised gardens with an automatic irrigation system and vistas to Mount Coot-tha and beyond, it is a space with so much versatility.

Professional families can finally enjoy apartment living with enough space for the kids to get outside, clocking up the kilometres riding their trikes across the terracotta tiles. Sun lounges, gyms, pot plants and BBQs are equally at home and if you’re anything like the current owners, twilight alfresco dinners will be on the menu seven nights a week.

You can indulge your feasts through the large and neutral kitchen with plenty of cupboard space, breakfast bar, insinkerator and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and new ceramic cooktop.

Freshly painted with security screens throughout, the three carpeted bedrooms are large with neutral carpet and shady outlooks. The first two boast built-ins with drawers and shelving — the first is currently being used as a study, while the master enjoys a contemporary ensuite with massive shower and the indulgent inclusion of its own covered verandah, stretching the width of the property with an easy-care garden and lockable gate leading out to the front entrance.

There is also a third adjacent bedroom and a convenient, modern and large black and white bathroom with its own laundry.

In a complex with reasonable body corporate fees and metered gas hot water, the breeze of car-parking is another added bonus … with remote control access to the secure basement, you can drive straight into the lockable tandem garage with plenty of room for extra storage.

An easy walk to shops, public transport, the University of Queensland, parks and sporting fields all in the coveted Ironside State School catchment, 2/194 Carmody Road is a prime investment within striking distance of playgrounds of all ages. perfect for young families, those with children at university who need their own space or downsizers whose kids have flown the coop.
