34B Brae Street, COORPAROO

The Fonz leaned back in his chair at Beyond The Pale, a beer in hand and his leather jacket catching the afternoon sun. He gave the bartender a nod of approval before turning to Richie, who had just flown in from Milwaukee. This place reminds me of Als Diner back homeonly better, Fonzie said with a grin. Got that cozy vibe, good food, and the people here? Top-notch. He took a sip of his beer and leaned closer. But wait till you hear about where Ive been living for the last year, Rich. Youre gonna flip" Richie raised an eyebrow. Better than the flat above the garage? Fonzie smirked. Way better. Picture this: the lower level of a Queenslander-style duplex, all to myself. Totally self-contained, totally secure, and low maintenancebecause you know the Fonz doesnt do chores. Two bedrooms with built-in robes, carpeted for that cozy feel, but the rest of the place? Tiled throughout. Easy to clean and slick as my bike. Sounds pretty sweet, Richie said, leaning in. Correctamundo! But it gets better, Fonzie said, his grin widening. Big open-plan living area with air-conyou dont need it back in Milwaukee, but here? Its a game-changer. The kitchens got a massive double pantry. Perfect for keeping it stocked when the gang comes over. And theres an internal laundryno more laundromats. Hows that for living the high life? Richie whistled. Youve come a long way, Fonz. And get this, Fonzie said, lowering his voice like he was sharing a secret. Ive got a private courtyard. Its where the magic happensBBQs, hanging out, just enjoying the Brisbane sun. Talk about smooth living. Plus, Fonzie continued, its right here in Coorparoo. Just six clicks from the city. Walking distance to this place, the movie cinemas, and a bunch of cool cafes, restaurants and burger joints. And theres a single lock-up garage for my bike. Secure entry, Rich. My rides safe, and Ive got peace of mind. Richie raised his glass. You must love it there, Fonz. Fonzie nodded but let out a small sigh. Im sure gonna miss that place. Been there a year, and its been nothing but good vibes. But someone else is gonna love it just as much as I did. They better act quick, though, because you know what they saySit on it, and its gone. Even though he was moving on, Fonzie would always look back on his time living in Brae Street as Happy Days.
