SOARING liquidambar peering over a high corrugated iron wall is one of the many attractions of this cute apartment.

The glorious trees are dressed in their summer green at the moment but it won’t be long before they don blazing orange, yellow and red in a glorious prelude to their winter nakedness.

“A sense of the seasons is why we bought here,” the vendor says.

The home is part of a conversion of the heritage-listed old Boans warehouse, in East Perth.

The two-bedroom apartment was a blank canvas when the vendors took it on and they had it fitted out to suit the needs of mum, dad and a brand-new baby.

Walls of glass and sliding doors on a north-facing wall ensure the open-plan living area on the ground floor is flooded with light, which bounces off golden, floating-timber floors and crisp white walls.

“A sense of the seasons is why we bought here,”

Doors open out to a very private small courtyard, where the vendors had a loo built so guests don’t have to tramp upstairs.

The sparkling white kitchen is compact but there’s no shortage of bench and cupboard space, including a large pull-out pantry.

Space has been used cleverly in this lovely apartment and double white doors peel back to reveal a study tucked under the stairs.

Both upstairs bedrooms are double, the main a touch larger, and both have walls of glass looking over the private laneway and the trees—with no sense of anyone looking back.

The bathroom doubles as a laundry—it makes so much sense—and is spacious enough for a deep bath.

Set in the heart of Claisebrook Village there’s no shortage of parks, including a delightful one around the inlet that’s virtually on the doorstep.

Living here you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to cafes, restaurants and specialty shops within walking distance.

And the upcoming Riverside Marina and Elizabeth Quay entertainment precincts will really put you in the hub of things.
