New Farm 4005, Queensland

Some apartments are easy to walk past. Others have a personality all of their own. Tucked within the iconic Watsonia, Unit 2 at 87 Moray Street is firmly in the latter category. Set on the ground floor, this beautifully renovated character residence brings together old-world romance, considered design and the kind of warmth that makes a house feel like home.

Originally designed by renowned architects Chambers and Ford, Watsonia is a building with a story to tell. Inside, this apartment carries that story forward with a distinctive blend of Art Deco elegance and Spanish Mission character, where original architectural details meet thoughtful contemporary updates. It is sophisticated without feeling stuffy, full of character without trying too hard, and entirely at home in one of Brisbane's most loved neighbourhoods.

A generous living room sets the scene, flowing through to a charming sunroom framed by beautiful leadlight windows. Bathed in natural light and catching the easterly aspect, this versatile space lends itself to a home office, creative retreat or simply somewhere to enjoy a slow morning coffee. French doors, a long gallery hallway and carefully selected finishes add to the apartment's sense of individuality, while the spacious bedroom offers a peaceful place to retreat.

The kitchen has been designed with everyday living in mind, complete with a breakfast nook and quality appliances, while the designer bathroom and separate laundry bring practical convenience without compromising on style. Marble flooring, Wyer + Craw cabinetry, Belgian linen Roman blinds, antique lighting and imported brass and bronze accents give the interiors a beautifully layered feel. Nothing feels cookie-cutter here, and that's precisely the point.

Beyond the apartment, the building's shared spaces have also received a considered refresh, with a refurbished foyer and stairwell that respect Watsonia's original character. Secure tandem parking adds another welcome advantage, particularly in a location where leaving the car at home often makes perfect sense.

Step outside and you're straight into the rhythm of New Farm. With the popular Hey Mr. café across the road, morning coffee is sorted. James Street's boutiques and dining, New Farm Park's leafy surrounds, the New Farm Cinemas and the Brisbane River are all within easy reach, while the CBD and Howard Smith Wharves are close enough to make city living feel effortless.

Character you can't manufacture. Charm you can't replicate. And a New Farm address that needs very little introduction. Unit 2 at Watsonia is a rare opportunity to secure a home with genuine personality in a location that continues to capture the best of Brisbane living.
