Airy warehouse apartment, prime West End position
A gated treed laneway runs between Henry and Pakenham Streets in the West End, lined with terraced homes created in a renowned warehouse conversion project in the early nineties. With a Pakenham Street frontage, set inside the original building façade with a series of tall double hung sash windows, this two-level apartment home is one of the best.
Airy spaces, lofty volume and privileged outlooks onto the historic streetscapes all create a sense of openness in a fantastic location where you can walk to everything.
Behind a secure gate, the home opens to a long double-height jarrah-floored area, with extensive use of steel, timber and glass generating an industrial feel and welcoming light. With its street-front position, this space has excellent commercial potential. Three rooms open from the downstairs zone, including one with steel and glass double doors that could be a tv room, meeting room or third bedroom. Nearby is the laundry with a wall of storage, and a simple bathroom with shower, vanity and separate toilet.
Up the wide jarrah stair is a long l-shaped mezzanine, framed by the massive original warehouse beams. Open-plan living, dining and kitchen flow easily here, with a sleek modern kitchen featuring glossy white cabinetry, gas range and stainless steel dishwasher. Sliding doors lead to an elevated office with double skylights and a fascinating view across the streetscape.
A secure carbay is included, but you can just walk: the beach, train, restaurants, bars, shopping, galleries, Esplanade Park and Notre Dame campus are all in your neighbourhood.
Flexible, full of atmosphere and perfectly positioned, this is a very cool place to live and a sound investment.
