Unlike most apartments in Mounts Bay Road, which are located in a complex with many buildings, containing a mix of residential and short stay accommodation, this impeccably maintained and presented apartment is situated in a stand-alone building comprising just 31 mostly owner-occupied residences.

Situated on the fourth floor, and with the bedrooms at the rear of the building, facing Mount Eliza, you would be more likely to be woken by the sound of bird song than weekday traffic, and what a beautiful green outlook it is!

The well-designed kitchen, with stunning new granite bench tops and a quality new induction cooktop, will even appeal to those who don’t like to cook; while the well located laundry has many more cupboards than you would expect, a washer/dryer, and a second WC.

Solid timber floors and carpeting throughout have just been replaced, and the furniture is included if you want it.

The private balcony enjoys views across John Oldham Park to Elizabeth Quay.

A high level of security is provided, with automatic driveway gates, and both remote control and intercom access.

Having no swimming pool, gymnasium or tennis court, means LOW strata fees, which are only $890.28 per quarter. What’s more, the lift has just been replaced, ensuring outgoings are likely to continue to be contained. Council rates are $1,943 and water rates are $1,335.

There’s no need to join a gym, with Jacob’s Ladder just 100m away, providing access to all of Kings Park; and the Swan River foreshore is just 600m away, delivering access to Perth’s extensive cycling network.

If you work in the City, you could walk on fine days, or catch the free CAT bus if it’s raining or you’re running late. Bus service to UWA is available in the street, or alternatively take a 4km bicycle ride along a scenic and safe shared path.

I believe this to be the best 2 bedroom apartment in Mounts Bay Road for the price, so am expecting very strong interest.
