1/98 Walcott St

Character outside. Contemporary within. The Perth Property Co. presents 1/98 Walcott Street, Mount Lawley. There’s something particularly appealing about apartment living when it comes with the proportions and character of the 1920s, a large private courtyard and Mount Lawley coffee just 90 metres from your door. Positioned on the ground floor of a quiet group of only eight, this two-bedroom circa-1925 apartment has retained the details that give homes of this era their personality. High ceilings, lead light windows, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, polished timber floorboards, picture rails and a handsome feature fireplace all remain, balanced by thoughtful modern updates. The living room is bright, generous and full of character, with reverse-cycle air-conditioning for year-round comfort. Alongside it, the contemporary kitchen is particularly well resolved, with plenty of cabinetry and bench space, quality stainless steel appliances including a dish drawer dishwasher, plus washing machine services. Both bedrooms are generously sized with substantial built-in robes, while the modern bathroom is clean and understated, with ceiling-high tiling and a semi-frameless shower screen. Attractive light fittings and discreet modern window treatments complete the interior. But it’s outside that this apartment really separates itself. Opening directly from the living room is a huge private and secure courtyard, with enough space for a proper outdoor table, long lunches, friends over for dinner or simply somewhere peaceful to sit with a coffee. For an apartment this close to the heart of Mount Lawley and only 2.5km from the CBD, that amount of private outdoor space is a genuine advantage. A single carport within the automated gated parking area completes a home that combines 1920s character, modern practicality and an exceptionally convenient inner-city position.
