1111/8 Church Street, Fortitude Valley

As Fortitude Valley’s hippest address, the Mosaic Complex offers a heady combination of fast-paced metropolitan inner-city lifestyle, far-reaching urban views and a good dose of tranquil escapism thanks the relaxed community vibe of the complex and the verdant oasis that is its communal rooftop garden. Certainly, while relaxing on the rooftop lawn and making use of the integrated barbecue area, it is hard to imagine all the bustling activity of the famed James Street precinct is within just one minutes’ walk. And yet it is, with the 600m2 rooftop garden a hidden oasis in an otherwise urban jungle. For the personal use of residents, it offers a communal space to relax, enjoy picnics and barbecues or start a vegetable garden in the raised garden beds. Furthermore it has several grassed areas upon which to relax and can be booked out exclusively, allowing for rooftop entertaining in grand style with a 360 degree panorama, the perfect backdrop. Apartment 1111 offers all this as well as a two bedroom configuration with its own expansive views across the urban vista to the mountains in the distance. The entry immediately opens out to the kitchen and living zone where, thanks to a wall of glass, the views are on immediate show. Within the kitchen, well-executed finishes bring interest and enduring style with a stone bench top that doubles as a breakfast bar, an eye-catching backsplash and cabinetry profiles that really make an impact in both crisp white and warm timber. The living zone ostensibly spans two areas, with a great space for lounging flowing through stacking glass doors to the adjacent indoor/outdoor room. With sliding windows integrated into a wall of glass, both spaces really support natural cross ventilation while also flooding the apartment with natural light. Both bedrooms are similarly light-filled, while the bathrooms meanwhile, have been finished to the same high standards as the rest of the build with a stylish floating vanity. There is storage within the apartment, air-conditioning, a European-style laundry, an intercom and comprehensive security measures with swipe-to-access capability for every level including the garage and rooftop. Something of an urban village, the complex also has an integrated boutique hotel, its own restaurant bistro and a selection of shops on the ground floor. With the CBD and all amenities within easy walking distance, Mosaic is ideally positioned for everyday living with the Valley pool, cinema and Emporium Centre all just a three minute stroll. For longer journeys however, the apartment comes with dual car accommodation in the secure garage below. Sophisticated, central and offering a culturally rich style of living both within the building and in its immediate surrounds, this apartment is equally as good an investment as it is a hassle free, primary residence.
