Unique Eclectic Penthouse in 'Donard'

Your opportunity to secure one of Brisbane’s extraordinary dual level penthouse apartments within the renowned ‘Donard’ building has arrived...

Constructed in 1976, this acclaimed West End icon offers the only three-bedroom penthouse within its tightly held building with the other 33, two-bedroom apartments.

‘Donard’s’ treasured residence, facing directly north, and overlooking the Brisbane city skyline and beyond, is apartment 29 – the penthouse, where residents are elevated and surrounded by constant day or evening ‘glimmerings’ from its magnificent 270-degree panoramic views. As you step inside you are immediately struck by the soaring ceilings, its welcoming sophisticated environment adapted to fit a more modern and contemporary lifestyle. Extensive glazing brings the open plan living spaces alive, with abundant natural light and prevailing breezes, and the most captivating backdrop showcasing the meandering Brisbane River, dazzling city and mountain vistas. Completely spellbound, you will gravitate to the balcony to best enjoy your morning coffee or complete your day with an aperitif.

Over two levels of living space, the interiors and light allow you to express your personal flair, complimented by a unique loft-style mezzanine level where you can work, play, or just relax. Directly below is a stylish and sleek modern kitchen that delivers a high standard of finishes including glass splashback, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry. Also on this level is a luxe bathroom complete with bath and concealed laundry.

The lower-level, accessed by internal timber stairs, is dedicated entirely to the three generous bedrooms with built-in robes, two of which open to the north-facing balcony and serviced by two more bathrooms with the main housing its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

Other notable features include an exclusive private rooftop terrace where you can easily start your day with a yoga session, relax and take some sun, or use to entertain. The apartment is accessed from the lower level with two lifts in the complex, secure intercom entry and has undercover basement parking for your vehicle. This is not a conventional apartment by any means, with the combined internal and external living areas totalling a huge 219sqm across all levels, inclusive of the rooftop terrace, with possibilities for expansion.

Situated just a short stroll from Hardgrave and Montague Road’s restaurant and caf&aecute; strips, the cultural and entertainment precincts of South Bank are also at your doorstep. The vibrant central West End with its eclectic charm, trendy boutiques, and supermarkets, is close by as are some of the most picturesque river walks, tranquil parklands, and popular Farmer's market. Importantly located within the esteemed Brisbane State High School catchment, the recently upgraded West End Primary School is also within walking distance. Bus and City Cat transport are nearby with the Brisbane CBD an easy commute located just 3km away and University of Queensland one stop away on the ferry.

Historical ‘Donard’ fronting the beloved ‘Dornoch Terrace’ was designed by notable ‘MallArch Architects’ and represents a fundamental part of Brisbane’s architectural past and is now seen as an anchor in future contemporary design. The clean brick finish, simplistic interiors, breeze block walls and sharp angular timber and concrete finishes, are spawned from the post mid-century aesthetic. These features and the sleek curves of the entry bridge welcome you and your guests into the building. There is a strong sense of community and devoted residents take pride in upholding its visual appeal and strong connection to its architectural heritage, where considered design and generous grounds were the emphasis. A testament to this, is the immaculately presented gardens and palm-clad retro pool area all contained within its remarkable 2,345sqm allotment hidden away from pedestrian traffic.

This residence will provide you with an exclusive inner-city lifestyle within a prominent and illustrious 1970’s building. It’s time to come home to your very own sophisticated city escape.
