This home is a showpiece of Federation style, carefully renovated for modern living. Overflowing with character and personality, it features the highest ceilings we've seen, handsome Jarrah floorboards, a grand archway, sash windows, and all the little details that culminate in making homes of this era so special.
In the early 1900s, the Oceanic Hotel was the top choice for well-heeled tourists visiting Perth, and wanting to holiday close to Swan River and Cottesloe Beach.
Following it's heady days as the Mosman Park Hotel, in 1996 this iconic building was converted into 6 luxurious residences, which still reflect the old glamour days. No. 5 is one of the largest in the complex, with a floor area that spans an impressive 263sqm (approx. including balcony) and includes 4/5 bedrooms plus a study/office and dressing room.
Large open plan living/kitchen/dining areas offer plenty of space to spread out, and you can throw open French doors to the hotel's original “Gin and Tonic” balcony, a private entertaining space where you have expansive views across the treetops and south towards Fremantle.
Impeccably maintained over the years, the home has a host of recent renovations including a new full-size laundry, a spectacular ensuite bathroom with claw-foot bath, and the addition of built-in cabinetry in the study. Brand new carpet has also been laid, and the external mouldings have been restored. It is ready for you to move in, with no work to do!
Despite several modernisations, the hotel's distinctive roof line remains intact, as does the original structure.
It is noted on the Heritage List as “an important part of the social heritage of Mosman Park”. It is a special place to call home!
The location is now even more attractive than it was when tourists flocked here 100 years ago. You are moments to the wonderful shops, wine bars, cafes and restaurants of Glyde Street, as well as the large supermarket on Monument Street. The train station at the end of the street provides painless access to Perth CBD, Fremantle, Subiaco, Claremont or West Perth.
The Swan River is a wonderful place to walk in the mornings, and Cottesloe Beach is also close by. There's also an abundance of excellent schools within a short walk, including PLC, Iona, St Hilda's, Cottesloe and Mosman Park Primary Schools.
This beautiful home takes you back in time - perfect for the buyer who is craving something elegant and unique. A once in a lifetime opportunity - don't let someone else beat you to this!
