A New York-style, semi-industrial Bohemian feel graces this funky one-bedroom one-bathroom apartment that doesn't compromise on location, design or quality. Ideal for a first-home buyer looking to enter into the trendy East Perth market, this stylish pad with a loft is absolutely loaded with features and was originally part of the historic "Boans Warehouse" building before it underwent a residential conversion in the late 1990s.
A galley kitchen with modern cooking appliances, as well as over-head and under-head storage cabinetry, is incorporated into the breezy design of a welcoming open-plan living and dining area. Also downstairs, the large bedroom with a sky window and built-in wardrobe is double-sized, whilst a private front courtyard area is ideal for both entertaining and relaxation, also acting as your entry point into the apartment.
The loft or mezzanine level works perfectly as either a study/home office or second bedroom, with plenty of room to set up your studio workspace or guest sleeping quarters. There is also some extra storage up above, accessible via the bedroom.
Much of the residence's original character has been maintained throughout, including exposed beams, corrugated walls and open-air walkways. A secure, under-cover car bay at ground level is simply an added bonus.
A short stroll to our vibrant CBD complements convenient access to the free CAT bus service, further public transport at Claisebrook Train Station, the Claisebrook Cove shopping, restaurant and inlet precinct, our picturesque Swan River itself, the popular new Perth Girls School precinct, the exciting Wellington Square redevelopment, the new world-class Optus Stadium, the footbridge to the stunning Crown Towers, casino and entertainment complex and everything else that urban East Perth has to offer. For something just that little bit different, this is where you want to be living!
