Back in 2017, empty-nesters Alison and Keith Ross wanted to downsize. But having lived in family homes for so many years, they were wary of the space limitations of apartment living. Any doubts, however, have since evaporated with this sanctuary in the sky, an airy hideaway that embraces views on three sides – and that’s just one of its seemingly limitless attractions.
“This apartment was unique in that it had more than 200 square metres of terrace, with a canopy of beautiful old fig trees on one side and unobstructed views up the Brisbane River on the other,” says Alison. “It felt very private and peaceful.” Those expansive outdoor spaces, even larger than the open-plan living area, would make indoor-outdoor living and entertaining a breeze.
