ENTRANCE FROM WILLIAM STREET
Once in a blue moon you stumble upon a property that not only takes you back to a simpler time, but stuns you with character and style, this is certainly the case with the converted church in Mount Lawley.
A perfect combination of "old meets new" in as area that is incredibly popular for keen socialites and hustling young professionals. The original property was constructed in 1905 as the iconic North Perth Congretational Church, delivering words of wisdom and wine to local families for decades. It goes without saying that the walls in your home will have plenty of stories to tell. Just a short trip to the CBD, surrounded by bars, cafes, restaurants and Hyde Park all within walking distance, this uber-unique pad is the ideal combination of space, low-maintenance living and urban lifestyle. Since its hay day the church on Raglan Road has undergone a full designer makeover with all the modern conveniences you could ask for and is ready for its newest design-savvy owners in 2022.
A clever mezzanine, three storey layout allows natural light to flood the home, creating a sense of space often missed in one bedroom properties. A bright open plan living and dining space with 10mhigh ceilings and Jarrah floors is overlooked by a wonderfully kempt Caesarstone kitchenwith all the modern features the keen foodie requires, including a deep double sink, stunning marble splashback, a combination of stainless steel and integrated appliances wonderfully finished with modern matte black fittings. Industrial style caging, shelving and hanging warehouse lights coupled with a mural of the great wave off kanagawa perfectly ties the space together.
A beautifully private decked courtyard with its reticulated vertical garden feeds seamlessly from the indoor space, boasting extra hidden storage and even a built in BBQ, its great if you have a few more guests than expected. Unlike most one bedroom properties, this clever home has a powder room on the ground floor with the same matte black fittings and style that is consistent throughout ensuring your privacy is maintained and guests don't have to disturb anyone upstairs when you entertain.
Upstairs on the first floor you have your second restful retreat and living space where you can enjoy a movie underneath natural light from the old church windows and exposed Jarrah beams maintained from the original construction in 1905, this place is the epitome of modern rustic charm. Also on this first floor is your designer bathroom to wash away the weekend's sins, rejuvenated with Caesarstone, dark mosaic tiling, matte black fittings and featuring more original church windows letting in plenty of natural light.
Ascend to the final mezzanine level via your architectural floating Jarrah stairs and revel in the coolest bedroom you could imagine, it was only added recently to take full advantage of the enormous amounts of space above. This gorgeous bedroom boasts an abundance of clever hanging and shelving storage with more than enough space for your shoe collection. Looking down there' s a clear line of sight across three levels with all the rustic beams and arches left exposed paying homage to the humble church it once was. One of a kind, lavishly completed with designer finishes, extended and updated to bring the North Perth Congregational Church from 1905 into 2022, all in an iconic area people are fighting to get into. Say your prayers and call Vince on 0407 774 009 for a viewing as soon as possible, because this unbelievably cool homage to a lost area is priced to sell and will not last long.
