With its prominent location, distinctive form, and striking Art Deco style, Coronet Court is considered one of the most beautiful and recognisable landmarks in Brisbane. In 1933 Coronet Flats emerged from the traditional suburban landscape of Timber and Tin with all the shock of the new. Originally advertised as unsurpassed’, exclusive’ and ultramodern’, The Courier Mail proclaimed that the architectural style of Coronet Flats defied description and praised the building for “its arresting beauty and dignity”.
The construction of Coronet Court represented a bold progression in the evolution of architecture in Queensland and heralded the arrival of modern apartment living in Brisbane. Today the building remains an architectural showstopper and it is the gold standard of Art Deco Living!
There are so many reasons to fall in love with this apartment; the prime location; the glamour of its original design; the exquisite craftsmanship of the fittings; the quality and convenience of the discreet modern additions and the light-filled spacious interiors looking over the beautiful gardens and a charming community courtyard. They simply don’t make them like this anymore! The superb outlook to New Farm Park, the short stroll to Merthyr Village and the excellent transport links all make this the perfect New Farm address. Moreover, this is the very first opportunity to acquire this rare Art Deco apartment, with the added attraction of a 3 bedroom floor plan.
The celebrated Art Deco features of this stunning apartment building have been carefully maintained and lovingly restored during the long custodianship of its current owners. A grand galleried staircase, leadlight feature windows, decorative joinery and exquisite plasterwork are all testament to the skills and style of a bygone era. However, the comforts and conveniences of 21st Century living have been carefully and discreetly accommodated. The apartment is air-conditioned throughout. The bathroom retains most of its original Art Deco fittings but sparkling new English tapware and brand new plumbing are reassuring additions. Brand new electrical wiring, cable, Foxtel and NBN connections are already available to meet the ever growing needs of modern life. The kitchen features quality European appliances and blends classic styling with modern expectations.
At its heart, this apartment has a sense of prestige, character, and warmth that is hard to resist. Natural light fills the interiors with each of the iconic bay windows presenting a framed picture of New Farm Park.
