Located in one of Perth's most desirable inner-city suburbs, this unique and modern home spread over two levels, is equally suited to the professional couple as it is to the urban family. The owners of this exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property have transformed a former mechanic's garage into a much-loved family home. The identity of this home is defined by artisanal craftsmanship, high quality materials and creativity. Significant time and effort has been invested in sourcing the home’s unique elements and features from both local and international collectors and creators. From the moment you step through the front door, you know this place is special. Reminiscent of a New York loft style abode, extra high ceilings, skillion-style roofing, and natural light streaming through 3-metre-high windows give the open plan living and dining area ethereal appeal, while polished concrete floors, exposed timber and steel beams and free-standing staircase provide a practical, modern feel. Joining the living area, a spacious kitchen comes complete with gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and attractive breakfast bar, and offers enormous storage with built-in cupboards and shelves, while the cosy separate sitting room with views into the garden provides a snug spot for watching movies during those cooler winter months. Upstairs comprises of a generous master bedroom, two additional light filled bedrooms, a study nook and a stunning bathroom that includes exposed copper pipework and custom hand-spun copper shower fittings imported from Canada. Bespoke Tasmanian Oak windows connect the rooms allowing natural light to flow throughout the home. Meticulously renovated, every inch of this character home tells a story. Lovers of local art and history will especially appreciate thoughtful additions and features such as handcrafted windows and doors created with Tasmanian Oak and Jarrah, a sunken wine cellar converted from the building's former mechanic's pit, chandeliers made from wine bottles and polished drying racks, and antique lights and signage suspended tastefully throughout. Interesting local historic features include an awning over the front (Hatch Lane) doorway reclaimed from the original Perth Railway Station and a repurposed State Energy Commission street light to illuminate the yard.
