Smart Investing That’s Pretty As A Picture

Highgate Hill is a sought after area for good reason, tucked on the fringe of the CBD with easy access to the Brisbane River, South Bank and the University of Queensland.

This spacious studio is perched on the top floor of the block, and designed to take maximum advantage of the charming river views.

The combined living area offers floor to ceiling windows allowing plenty of natural light, maximum outlook impact and direct access to a spacious and private balcony.

The kitchen and bathroom are both neat as a pin, and offer generous storage and a space-saving European laundry.

The block offers leafy well-maintained grounds, and a resort-style pool offering enjoyable luxury in Brisbane summers. This little pied-a-terre is well priced, functional in design and an excellent opportunity both for an investor looking to make a sound investment decision in an area with excellent rental yields, or an owner-occupier looking to escape the hustle and bustle in a convenient inner-city location.

35/25 Dudley Street, Highgate Hill. More info at jeffjones.com.au
