Live the celebrity lifestyle with this two-bedroom plus study apartment in one of Brisbane’s most iconic inner-city art deco buildings that was recently home to rock superstar and one half of the Veronicas, Jessica Origliasso.
Located on the fifth floor of the heritage-listed McWhirters complex in Fortitude Valley, the two-level, two-bathroom loft-style apartment features soaring ceilings, vast open space including a two story void and a vibrant district outlook to the city and beyond.
Steeped in history, the building was originally home to the renowned McWhirters department store in the early 1900s before becoming a Myers in 1955, which flourished until 1988.
Selling agent, Jake Mackay of Ray White Spring Hill describes the property as “architectural brilliance in one of Brisbane's premier lifestyle precincts”.
“It’s rare that apartments in this building come up for sale. This is such a sensational offering,” he says.
“The McWhirters complex is perfect for those who enjoy all that inner city living has to offer, day and night, but can appreciate coming home to a secure apartment while not comprising on space, lifestyle and peaceful living.”
Origliasso owned an apartment in the McWhirters complex for eight years before selling it last month in her relocation to Los Angles.
She recently told media that the McWhirters complex has the edgy cachet of New York’s East Village, with China Town and Brisbane’s dining and fashion district right at her front door.
The queen-sized master bedroom features a walk-in robe and en suite bathroom while a large second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. An upstairs study can also act as a third bedroom and features sweeping city views.
The apartment’s open-plan air conditioned living area flows through double doors to a spacious terrace while the lower level has a modern kitchen with gas appliances, dishwasher and moveable bar.
The complex is a short walk to the trendy James street shopping strip and only a five-minute commute to the CBD.
It will be auctioned on site at 1pm, Sunday February 21.
