Art Deco inspired icon

Roschanmaure is a beautiful, Art Deco inspired, 3-storey building with heritage significance. Constructed in Mount Lawley in the inter-war period, this historic mid-century masterpiece exudes timeless style and charm with its symmetrical painted brick façade and striking double-height feature windows. Its name is proudly displayed in nostalgic retro font above the double door entrance, celebrating the building's unique legacy in architectural history. Comfortably secluded from the street front by mature trees and a secure palisade fence and gate, the complex comprises of twelve generous-sized apartments, with the common areas full of character - featuring wide hallways drenched in natural light, stucco plaster walls, and a sweeping staircase with a wrought iron balustrade.

Unit 12 is currently rented at $500 per week until 1st February 2025 to a fabulous tenant, who looks after the property as if it was his own. You can either move in upon the lease expiry or keep it as an investment property.

Perched on the top floor, enjoying an Eastern aspect with sweeping views of the Mount Lawley treetops and distant Perth Hills, this walk-up character apartment is super unique. With 76 sqm of internal living space, all areas are well proportioned, providing a comfortable space to enjoy the ultimate low-maintenance, inner-city lifestyle. It is also one of just four units within the complex to benefit from its own lock-up, exclusive use garage - a rare luxury for an apartment of this locale.

Open plan with defined spaces, the kitchen, lounge and enclosed balcony flow freely and adopt perennial design elements with Jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and oversized sash windows - inspiring a beautiful space to live, relax and entertain in style. The kitchen has been designed around functionality, providing an abundance of built-in storage, ample bench space and quality appliances, with an opportunity to make cosmetic updates to suit your personal taste. Seamlessly integrated with the kitchen, the living area is spacious, featuring modern upgrades with down-lights, a ceiling fan and decorative duck egg colour floating steel shelving and entertainment cabinet. Providing versatile use, the enclosed balcony features large open windows with a view, offering a relaxing space to read, create, work, or even dine.

Both double size bedrooms offer contemporary comfort, appointed with built-in storage systems, downlights and ceilings fans. Oversized sash windows and curtains provide a soothing space to retreat from the vibrant days of urban living. Separating the bedrooms, the bathroom features a bath and shower combination with a gloss white upgraded vanity, and a separate toilet for convenience.

A Mount Lawley address on the fringe of Highgate, it is a second-to-none location with restaurants, bakeries, wine bars, coffee houses and recreation at every corner.
