104/86 Halstead Street, Coorparoo, Qld 4151

Dear buyer,

My name's Joe, and for sale is my apartment at 104/86 Halstead Street, Coorparoo.

I purchased this property in 2023 and moved in during January 2024. I've absolutely loved living here.

The building is shared with 15 of the friendliest neighbours one could ask for. They'll bring my Amazon deliveries inside when I'm not home, lend me whatever kitchen utensil I'm missing at a moment's notice, and more recently, even puppy-sit when needed (more on this below).

Good neighbours are so important to me, and I've been incredibly fortunate with the community here at Blanco. It's the sort of place where people genuinely look out for one another, and I'm confident the next owner, whether an owner-occupier or investor, will appreciate the community they're buying into.

The location of Blanco is something special, too.

My mornings often start with a five-minute walk around Bowies Flat Wetland, sharing the paths with dog walkers, native birds and the occasional water dragon. In the evenings, the Martha Street precinct is just a ten-minute walk away and is home to some of my favourite restaurants and cafés in Camp Hill.

Coorparoo Square is also just down the road, with supermarkets, shops, cinemas and everything else you could need. And despite how peaceful Halstead Street feels, Brisbane's CBD is only around 6km away.

As you can probably tell, this is a reluctant sale.

I've recently welcomed a Groodle puppy named Ralphie into my life, and he's quickly outgrowing apartment living. So, the time has come to find us a house with a little more space (still in the neighbourhood, of course!)

A little more about the apartment...

One of the things that originally attracted me to Blanco was the quality of the development. Completed in 2024, it's a boutique building of just 16 residences, with a level of finish and attention to detail that I think sets it apart from many other apartment developments.

The apartments were thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light, space and functionality, with contemporary finishes throughout.
Some of the features that make Blanco special include:
A beautifully appointed kitchen with stone benchtops, quality Miele appliances, gas cooking, generous cabinetry and distinctive feature tiling.

Open-plan living and dining, designed to flow naturally onto the outdoor entertaining area.

Ducted air-conditioning, making Brisbane's warmer months considerably more comfortable.

Generously proportioned bedrooms, with built-in storage and a master ensuite featuring dual vanities.

Contemporary bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling tiling and quality finishes.

A dedicated study space, ideal for anyone who works from home.

Secure building access, with intercom entry and lift access.

And then there's the rooftop...
One of Blanco's best features isn't actually inside the apartment.
Upstairs, residents have access to a communal rooftop terrace with over 100sqm of shared entertaining space, complete with barbecue facilities, dining areas and landscaped surrounds.

It's a fantastic extension of your own living space, whether you're entertaining friends, enjoying a quiet afternoon outside or simply looking for somewhere to unwind.

With only 16 apartments in the building, it's a wonderful amenity to have without the scale or busyness of a large apartment complex.
Everything on your doorstep

A few of my favourite things about the location:

Bowies Flat Wetland: A peaceful green escape just minutes from your front door.

Martha Street: A fantastic collection of local restaurants, cafés and bars within walking distance.

Coorparoo Square: Shopping, groceries, cinemas and dining just a short drive away.

Public transport: Convenient bus connections close to the building.

Brisbane CBD: Approximately 6.3km away, making the commute into the city straightforward.

Local schools: Coorparoo State School, Villanova College and St James Primary School are all nearby.

A final word from me: When I bought this apartment, I was looking for somewhere that offered the convenience of inner-city living without sacrificing the feeling of being part of a neighbourhood.

Blanco has delivered exactly that.

It's been a fantastic first home, and if Ralphie hadn't come along and changed my plans, I'd be very happy to stay.

I hope whoever buys it enjoys living here as much as I have.

Thanks for taking the time to read my listing. If you’re interested in viewing the property or talking further please call me on 0466 675 660.
