Empire Village shopping centre: The ultimate meeting point in City Beach for friends and neighbours of every age in its vibrant cafes and restaurants, it is also the most sought-after spot in City Beach where almost everyone would like to live nearby.
For the Commonwealth Games of 1962, 40 Architects presented 166 Designs for the selection of one that would apply to the 150 Houses that would accommodate athletes from all the Commonwealth countries. Today, one of the few remaining and original "Commonwealth Games houses", totally metamorphosed into a modern, premium abode of impeccable character is available exclusively and for a few days only!
This house is the living proof of why "classic will always be modern". Built on a substantial block of 950 sqm. (approx.), the house has kept everything from its original character - the cathedral ceilings, the massive windows from floor to ceiling, the jarrah floors all around and more.
The next generation of owners totally transformed this house to accommodate the needs and the contemporary lifestyle of a modern family in 4 bedrooms, 2 living areas, open plan chef's kitchen, new bathrooms, by-folding wooden doors extending the interior space to the privacy of the big garden and to the swimming pool, a pool cabana/activity room and all these only 4 doors away from the Empire Village shopping centre with its vibrant restaurants and cafes!
There was never such a rare opportunity to buy a modern family home in one of the best and most sought after locations in City Beach and at the same time to be the proud owner of a piece of history.
