From the 4th floor of the exclusive Mon Reev apartment complex, the views are nothing short of majestic – a vista of scenic grandeur from the main living space that seems to project outwards towards the Story Bridge in one direction, and across the river around the New Farm river bend towards the Bulimba reach in the other. By combining this magnificent position with luxurious finishes and the space of a true owner occupier property, the architects have created one of the most desirable residences on the river front – a platform for the ultimate riverside city lifestyle. Outside the door on the ground level, the City Cat will pick you up from Mowbary Park and speed you straight into the CBD to shops, restaurants, cafes and entertainment hotspots.
The free flowing open plan spaces of this large 229m2 air-conditioned apartment are cleverly laid out to draw spectacular views deep into living area and master bedroom, creating a dramatic outlook. Upon entering this property the feeling of space and natural light cannot be missed. Polished timber flooring offers warmth and the discreet bulk head mounted down lights with frosted glass overlays, can be dimmed to set a special mood in the evenings. Floor to ceiling walls of glass with double siding doors open onto an under cover riverside open lounge, that adjoins the river view alfresco entertainment area. These outdoor areas are large enough to host cocktail parties when the space is needed. Indeed this could easily have been designed into a three bedroom property, but the space has been dedicated to everyday living areas instead.
The master suite has separate access to the outdoor area and a clever designer window also allows river views from the bed. UV proof discreet roller blinds offer privacy when needed, and a walk through robe featuring his and hers mirrored double robes leads to a well appointed ensuite, finished with Granite vanity tops, 2 pac cupboards, Grohe tapware, floor to ceiling tiles and a separate shower and spa bath.
A superb sense of modern style incorporates designer finishes into this clever layout. The second bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment allowing total privacy from the master suite. This spacious bedroom has double built in mirrored robes located in a dressing area, and opens through a large floor to ceiling glass door to the private open air Conservatory area which in turn leads back into the main living are of the property. The indoor/outdoor Conservatory area provides an enclosed weather proof additional entertaining space, and also enables the owner to open the whole unit from front to back to take advantage of the riverfront breezes.
Adjacent to bedroom two is the second bathroom which is decorated to the same high quality as the ensuite off the master, and features a double sized shower. There is also a separate laundry with built in washer and dryer.
The luxury continues and the designer kitchen is a work of art, with large expanses of granite bench top and glass work areas, along with 2 pac under bench and overhead cupboards. A European sliding pantry is complimented by a stainless steel Miele gas cook top, electric fan forced oven, dishwasher and microwave cooker/grill. Strategically placed down lights and a glass splash back add the finishing touches of class to this area of the home. The contemporary look of the kitchen is enhanced with feature timber panelling and a large fridge freezer.
This magnificent property comes complete with 2 secure car park spaces, and most importantly a large lockable storage area with a roller door access so others cannot see the contents of your storage area. This area is large enough to store push bikes and surf boards.
Mon Reev (French for 'My Dream') provides a high level of security and thus privacy for its residents. Every access area in the complex is secured by pass key access and there is video intercom security to the apartments. There are only 2 units per floor and the complex has a significant number of owner occupiers. There is a generous outdoor swimming pool and spa along with a modern gym, ideal for the early morning workout. Other advantages are smart technology features allowing high-speed internet cable connections.
