Tucked away in a private boutique complex of only six, this stylish ground-floor apartment has all the space and features of a house without the associated upkeep. This is an attractive prospect for young families, downsizers, avid gardeners and pet owners alike.

Flawlessly presented inside and out, this stylish home is awash with light, enhanced with modern, contemporary finishes while promoting an effortless indoor/outdoor lifestyle. An elevated, south-facing balcony leading off the living and dining area wraps around the side to the rear courtyard. It is backdropped by a leafy district outlook and is ideal for alfresco dining.

Meanwhile, the substantial north-facing covered patio, grassed area, and fully fenced landscaped garden on the title are perfect for entertaining family and friends, a safe play area for children and pets and a tranquil spot to relax. There is ample space to create a farmer's market milieu of a vegetable patch and herb garden.

The layout is open-plan with timber floors and a sleek contemporary kitchen featuring a 4-burner induction cooktop, dishwasher, large refrigerator, soft-close drawers, abundant cupboards and a breakfast bar.

The bedrooms have built-ins and two opening to the rear courtyard, including the air-conditioned master with an ensuite. An updated bathroom, with bath/shower combo, has a neat laundry facility with storage. Another great feature of this exceptional property is two side-by-side car spaces with a storage cage.

Taringa is a lovely green suburb approximately 6kms from the Brisbane CBD, close to bus and rail transport, the University of Queensland St Lucia campus and reputable schools. The convenience is indisputable with cafes, restaurants and outstanding shopping precincts such as Westfield Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, Toowong and St Lucia.

A local's perspective: "Close to the city, with shops and cafes nearby but still quiet. Great schools and the university just one suburb over, it's a fantastic place to raise a family. Plenty of parks and a great sense of community."
