Summary: 190sqm, 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage, 2 pools, 2nd floor apartment, abundant natural light, warm north side winter sun, well insulated in very secure building.
Live one of the best apartment lifestyles available in Perth here at 2E/16 Kings Park Avenue in the iconic Strathearn Building.
This 2nd floor, recently renovated and painted apartment is an absolute gem. Fresh, spacious, light, bright and airy, you have no common walls and one of the best views in Perth without being too far off the ground. It comes with additional storage plus two car garaging in the underground carpark.
You have absolutely no common walls and your apartment goes all the way through the building, bringing in an abundance of natural light and air and the ability to open it up to enjoy a cross breeze. Windows that you can fully open on all sides, into the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the kitchen and the living spaces are fantastic. It is very private, very quiet and very spacious, particularly compared to the newer versions of 3x2 you will see elsewhere.
The three bedrooms are all queen sized. The master has an ensuite with Shower/Bath combo, W.C, bidet and a separate vanity. It has built in robes. The second bedroom has a semi ensuite with Shower, vanity and W.C and again extensive built in robes. There is a separate powder room. The third bedroom is large and has ample room for freestanding cupboards should you uses it as a bedroom and not a study or second living room/TV room.
The kitchen is very generous. In fact it is bigger than you find in most houses, with a massive amount of bench space and storage cupboards, including a very large pantry cupboard. There is a twin sink, electric coot top, oven and dishwasher, all in excellent condition. It has timber floors and great views to the north and east.
The north facing balcony has been enclosed to create a beautiful sunroom suitable for a multitude of uses, be it a study, play area, reading retreat, music room - the choice is yours. It has a bank of large windows, all of which can be opened to really turn it into on inside/outside space.
The dining area off the kitchen easily accommodates an 8 seater dining table but works just as well with smaller tables if you wish.
A full laundry is behind a clever double folding door. It has room for a washer, a dryer and has a large laundry trough.
The open plan living/lounge is huge. This big open space is what Strathearn apartments are famous for. Big windows take in the views and it opens onto a small south facing balcony suitable for a two seater table or some comfy chairs. This balcony overlooks the garden and river. It's a very relaxing place to sit and take in the tranquillity of the setting.
At this level you are just above tree top height so your view out over and into the garden and park is beautiful, green and lush. Your view extends to the river where you look across all the way to the Raffles building and Canning Bridge on the far side!
Overall there is an abundance of storage throughout the apartment. There are storage cupboards everywhere including a large internal storage cupboard unique to this apartment.
A new reverse cycle air-conditioning system keeps the temperature warm or cool to your liking year round. The hot water is common to the building and works on a circulating main so it is instantaneous and abundant. Water pressure is fantastic. At the end of a long day (or the start of one) the joy and luxury of a fabulously hot shower or bath can't be overstated. The simple things can be among the most important.
The location is equally brilliant. You are positioned right on the edge of Kings Park, with the river in front of you and the CBD, West Perth, Subiaco and U.W.A all only a stone's throw away. You can literally walk or cycle to any of these destinations in minutes, or drive without going through a traffic light. A very good cafe/restaurant is a short walk away through the park - Zamia Cafe, Synergy Parkland, Kings Park. If you haven't been there yet, go and check it out - Great coffee, food, and cakes in one of the nicest settings of any cafe in Perth.
The grounds of Strathearn are very special. Covering 5,500+sqm of land, all landscaped with spacious lawns, beautiful gardens, two fabulous pools, two pool side cabanas, one with a brand new entertaining kitchen, beautiful gardens and a man made stream complete with Koi lazily swimming under arching timber bridges. It is idyllic, luxurious and all meticulously looked after by Pete the gardener and Wendy the uber-caretaker and free for you to use and enjoy to your hearts content.
These facilities come at no extra cost - it's all included in your very reasonable rent. On the warm summer days by the pool you'll think you were living in a resort.
The location is whisper quiet. The building is superbly maintained and in immaculate condition.
