36A Geddes Street, Victoria Park WA 6100

Unicorn

You'll love this expansive park-front bespoke 4 bedroom 2 bathroom inner-city warehouse residence steeped in colourful history.
This unicorn of homes is just what you've been dreaming of!

Formerly an iconic corner store from the early 1930s until the late 1940s, ROBERTSON AND ROSSITER was reputedly the first to use the term 'supermarket' in Western Australia.
In later years its use changed to a commercial coffee roasting premise, then a tea warehouse, and a series of hire car companies.
BUT always a home - 36A Geddes Street is as far from a cookie-cutter residence as you could get!

Tightly held and reluctantly sold, this home with over 600m of livable space has been lovingly reformed and refurbished to still retain its integrity and stories, while making way for thoroughly modern warehouse living.

You'll be struck by the huge 14m freshwater indoor pool behind a glazed wall incorporated into the soaring main living space with its irreplaceable 15 m trusses made of Oregon from Canada and steel from Scotland.
This transformative body of water moderates the living temperature and illuminates the evenings of this genuinely expansive living space.

As large as this home is, it is delightfully welcoming and peaceful yet also offers many unexpected private spaces, nooks, niches and hideaways.

There is incredible separation of space between the original circa 1930s two storey shop-house at the front of the home and the purpose-built mezzanine level at the rear of the home.

The unique 3-zone kitchen is an open invitation to gather, relax, or entertain.

It generously connects a clever tucked-away working scullery, to the main functional part of the kitchen including a 900mm cooker through to the open kitchen part the warehouse. Entertainers and gastronomes alike be aware this home has a record of incredible parties and phenomenal long-table dinners.

The shop-house boasts original features like jarrah floors, and feature plasterwork leading to an upstairs retreat like no other. A balcony looking across the village green of Raphael Park to the city skyline, a lovely light-filled main bedroom with more polished floors and high ceilings, your own huge, light-filled and airy ensuite with a deep bath for well-deserved soaks, and a large walk-in dressing room complete your escape from the everyday.

Downstairs still in the footprint of the original shop-house the second bedroom is over-sized and opens directly to the walled garden - private and separate from the world on the street outside.
This giant blank canvas of a room, with its concrete floor and high ceilings is waiting for your uncanny touches to personalize what can only be described as a very unique space.

A formal room complete with a feature fireplace and library shelving to the ceiling is a perfect cosy living area, or very generous home office (would work for more than one person).

The main body of the warehouse exposes original structural elements, a tapestry of time and material that paints a rich picture and patina that is impossible to reproduce in newer homes - too detailed to describe.
You simply have to see it for yourself.

The rear mezzanine is a floating concrete slab above the garage, accessed by a spiral staircase.
This versatile future-proofed space is currently configured with two big bedrooms, a study, and a lounge area.
The nonstructural elements that divide the rooms provide for infinite future configurations as your needs change over time.
The bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom (with toilet), and a powder room complete with the original urinal!

The home boasts surprising space, after surprising space.
The ceilings soar double overheight and banks of double-glazed clerestory windows fill this home with light, and direct views of the sky above.

Location matters.
Just a football kick from Raphael Park into the home's walled garden (it's been done!)
Close to everything!
Parks, schools, the river, regular buses, Curtin University, Optus Stadium, restaurants, cafes, small bars, and the new pedestrian bridge link straight into the City.
