Occupying a corner position on the ground floor of the tightly-held ‘Abbottford’ building, this two-bedroom residence offers a rare sense of space and privacy rarely found in apartment living. Full-height sliding glass wraps the living and dining zone, opening onto a private corner patio edged in original brick balustrading — a home with retro character, presented in honest, well-kept original condition.
Set across a generous floor plan, the layout functions as a single, easy-flowing level: living, dining and kitchen at its centre, two bedrooms peeling off to either side, and a patio at each end of the home — one wrapping around the main living zone, the second a private retreat off the second bedroom. Maintained in good original condition throughout, it’s ready to move into or lease as-is, or reimagine entirely; an exciting blank canvas for those with plans of their own.

From the entry, the dining zone opens directly into the living area, where full-height sliding glass runs the length of the corner, folding back to connect the tiled interior with the wrap-around patio beyond, framed by the building’s original brick balustrade. The kitchen sits just off the dining zone: a very generous U-shaped layout with an island bench, cream cabinetry and dark bench-tops, built for avid cooks and entertainers.
The two bedrooms sit apart from the living zone at the opposite corner of the home. The second bedroom opens directly onto its own private patio through full-height sliders, fitted with decorative wrought-iron security grilles that frame a leafy outlook over the garden and street beyond — a quiet spot for a morning coffee, screened from view but never closed off. With everything presented in solid original condition, there’s scope to update to taste, whether that’s a light refresh or a full reimagining of the floor plan.
Life at Mountford Road unfolds at an easy pace — footsteps to the Riverwalk, a short stroll to New Farm Park and Howard Smith Wharves, and Merthyr Village and the James Street Precinct both within easy reach for morning coffee, weekend markets or dinner out.
