There's a particular satisfaction in walking somewhere instead of driving, and this apartment puts that within easy reach. Albany Highway's café strip runs right past your door, it's espresso bars, bakeries and restaurant scene among the most talked about in Perth's inner south, and from here you're close enough to make it a daily habit rather than an occasional treat. Both the living area and the balcony face onto the laneway rather than Albany Highway itself, so despite being right in the middle of the strip, the outlook stays quiet and peaceful.
Recently renovated, the apartment has been finished with a level of care that's easy to feel the moment you walk in. New floor coverings run throughout, plush carpets in the bedrooms that feel soft and comfortable underfoot, paired with high quality vinyl planking through the main living zones for a fresh, considered feel overall. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning keeps things comfortable regardless of the Perth seasons.
The heart of the home is the open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, where floor to ceiling sheers soften the light and add a real sense of scale to the room. From here, the space flows straight onto the large balcony, creating a seamless indoor and outdoor connection that makes entertaining easy, whether it's a quiet dinner for two or a gathering that spills outside. The kitchen itself sits right at the centre of it all, with stone benchtops, plenty of cupboard and pantry storage, and a run of modern appliances that make it as practical as it looks.
Practically, the apartment offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with one secure car bay within a secure complex, a combination that works equally well for owner occupiers wanting low maintenance city fringe living or investors after a tightly held rental pocket close to everything East Victoria Park has built its reputation on.

Established in 1885, East Victoria Park is a predominantly residential suburb with a commercial and entertainment strip along Albany Highway. Significant development of the area did not begin until the 1960s and 1970s with gradual increases experienced during the 1990s as new homes and businesses were added to the area.Â
Though predominantly a residential area, the commercial and entertaining strip along Albany Highway provides a bustling urban environment for residents and visitors alike. With restaurants to satisfy any palate, as well as old-fashioned pubs and hip bars, this lively strip is active any time of day. Also within East Victoria Park are recreational facilities like Aqualife Centre and Leisure Life Centre, Park Centre, which is a shopping complex, and several schools.
