This historic warehouse conversion, designed by Scanlan Architects, has city views and spans an entire floor on King Street in Perth's CBD. It is for sale by Richard Mathlin and Callum Davidson of Knight Frank.
The original Wills building was built in 1924, and was modified with upper floors in 1950. It traded continuously, until around 1985, as a multi-storeyed warehouse for a wholesaler to the clothing industry.
The Wills development rejuvenated two existing vacant buildings into a residential apartment block incorporating 33 loft-style apartments. The home is unrivalled in Perth, with outstanding city views from the magnificent west-facing arch window.
The site was developed to provide high-quality apartments complimenting the surrounding King Street Heritage Precinct.
The property for sale features 534 square meters of strata area, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The entire fifth floor is a luxury apartment with private entry from the lift direct into the apartment. The New York-style service lift was retained and restored, as were many of the original steel windows featured on the Wellington Street façade.
There is an options for extra income, with two luxury self-contained executive suites within the whole floor apartment, which is generating a healthy return.
Richard Mathlin from Knight Frank told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS, "The apartment has been designed by current owners, Anna and Gary, to incorporate a very special space that is exclusive to them but also allows for flexibility to lease out two self-contained luxury suites within its layout on a short term basis when they chose or use the whole apartment to live and entertain friends and family."
King Street is located in Perth’s exclusive fashion hub which includes Chanel Gucci, Georg Jensen, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co, Watches of Switzerland, Prada, and Bang & Olufsen.
The Wills Building is built in the elegant Edwardian style, and is crowned with a classic pediment. Throughout you will find high ceilings, timber floors, turn of the century quoined and arched brickwork, and with the apartments located around a spacious central light-filled atrium.
Other features include two secure side-by-side car bays.
Knight Frank is calling for offers over $4,000,000 for this property. Private viewings available upon request.
