This is the sort of home where you walk in expecting an apartment, then realise pretty quickly that it doesn't really live like one.
There's plenty of space, generous living areas, properly sized bedrooms, a double garage, a huge storage room and, out the back, a private courtyard that gives you something most inner-city homes simply don't: your own outdoor space to actually enjoy.
Built in 2011 and set within the popular Edge complex, 1/8 Hordern Street offers 282sqm of total space across three levels. You get all the convenience of being in the heart of Victoria Park without feeling squeezed into a typical apartment.
Downstairs, the living, dining and kitchen areas are bright and open, flowing directly onto the courtyard. The kitchen features Miele appliances, custom cabinetry and stone benchtops, with porcelain tiles adding a clean, understated finish.
And the courtyard is worth a mention. It's not just somewhere to put a couple of chairs. There's room for outdoor dining, a barbecue, plants, kids, pets or simply somewhere to sit and enjoy the afternoon. Open the doors from the living area and it becomes a natural extension of the home.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is generous, with his and hers wardrobes and an ensuite featuring a double vanity and spa bath. The two additional bedrooms are also well sized and flexible enough for kids, guests, working from home or simply having some extra space.
Storage is another big plus. Along with the double lock-up garage and separate laundry, there's a substantial storage room with direct internal stair access. It's proper storage, bikes, luggage, tools, sporting equipment and boxes can all have a place without taking over the house. And then there are the Edge facilities.
Residents have access to a swimming pool, gym, sauna, spa, lounge and billiards room. Whether you use them regularly or just enjoy having them there, it's a pretty handy bonus.
Step outside and you're right in the middle of everything that makes Victoria Park such a great place to live.
Albany Highway is close enough that grabbing a coffee, heading out for dinner or meeting friends for a drink doesn't need any planning. Cafes, restaurants, bars and shops are all part of your everyday surroundings.
You also have easy access through to the Victoria Park foreshore and Boorloo Bridge, great if you enjoy getting outside. Go for a morning jog, jump on the bike, walk along the river or get some fresh air after work. For joggers and cyclists, having all of this so close to home is a real bonus.
Not only that, the CBD, Crown Perth and Curtin University are also all within easy reach.
That's what works so well here. You have the food, coffee and energy of Vic Park on one side, the river and open space on the other, and your own comfortable home in between.
Have friends over in the courtyard. Go for a swim. Take the bike down to the river. Head out for dinner. Or simply stay home and enjoy having the room to spread out.
