A FUNKY apartment on the fringes of the CBD conjures up images of hipsters– but a family of three live in this Palmerston Street home.

Covering three levels, this three-bedroom/three-bathroom apartment was recently renovated and is immaculately presented.

The ground floor has a commercial/residential zoning.

Previously a home office, it was recently converted into a generous en suite bedroom.

The living spaces are on the middle level, where a spacious open plan is bookended by balconies.

The kitchen was given a facelift last year and is functional with clean lines, white stone benchtops and an island bench.

Pantry cupboards occupy a large section of the wall in the dining area, but skillful cabinetry ensures it blends in seamlessly.

The large north-facing balcony overlooks the street, and the city is so close you feel you can reach out and touch the office towers.

It’s a great entertaining space and I can imagine inviting friends over for the Australia Day fireworks, or for drinks before heading out to the Fringe.

A mature jacaranda makes an elegant screener for the balcony, and for a few weeks a year you’ll be able to enjoy the tree’s vibrant purple flowers.

The main bedroom is spacious with two sets of walk-in-robes and a generous en suite, with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a lovely marri vanity.

The small apartment complex has a well-equipped gym, huge pool, sauna and a function room. The home comes with two parking spaces.

Situated on Palmerston Street, this funky industrial-style home is close to cafes, shops and bars, and Yagan Square and the CBD is about a 15-minute walk away.
