5/169 Sir Fred Schonell Drive, St Lucia, Qld 4067

Perched on the top floor of Bellevue Lodge - a tightly held complex of just six residences. This classic St Lucia apartment offers all the right fundamentals: solid brick construction, a north-facing balcony, and not a neighbour in sight.

Spread across 109m², it's a bright and breezy layout that separates bedrooms from the living area, provides modern updates where needed, and stays true to the timeless charm of older-style buildings built to last. The generous north-facing balcony is the hero here. Elevated, leafy, and sunlit, perfect for slow mornings or warm evenings with a breeze. Inside, the kitchen has been smartly refreshed, and both bedrooms are well-proportioned with built-ins and ceiling fans.

As a subtle nod to the suburb's rich history, the heritage-listed Avalon Theatre sits directly across the street - a 1920s building now thoughtfully restored by UQ as a cultural and performance space. It's a familiar local landmark and a quiet reminder of the character that makes St Lucia so enduring.

What we love about it:
• Top-floor position with no adjoining neighbours - rare privacy
• Solid brick walk-up in a boutique, well-maintained complex
• Just six residences in the building tightly held and rarely available
• Light-filled interiors with excellent cross-ventilation
• North-facing covered balcony with a lush street outlook
• Spacious 109m² floorplan with great separation of spaces
• Updated kitchen and modernised interiors throughout
• Secure garage parking underneath
• Potential for rental income or future value-adding
• Owner ideally seeking a short rent-back post-settlement

Whether you're looking for your first property, a well-positioned investment near UQ, or simply a place to call home, 5/169 Sir Fred Schonell Drive is not one to be missed.
