A STYLISH ship sailing through the heart of Mt Lawley…

That’s what I think every time I pass this stunning “triangular” house on Vincent Street.

The balcony is like the prow of a ship, overlooking leafy trees, federation homes and curious passers-by.

This two bedroom two bathroom abode is somewhat of a local landmark and has featured in Grand Designs magazine and TV show Better Homes and Gardens.

I had never been inside, so I was intrigued to see if the interior matched up to the exterior and if the triangular shape was practical for everyday living.

Thankfully it did.

The open plan kitchen/living/dining area on the first floor is stunning with lots of natural light and polished concrete floors.

It’s got that chic industrial look, but doesn’t feel too harsh or un-homely thanks to the stylish finishes and neat architectural lines.

The kitchen is stunning with top-end appliances integrated into a huge marble island bench.

Finishing it off is a cylindrical extractor fan, which plunges down from the ceiling in dramatic fashion. It reminded me of the transporter room in Star Trek and is a really cool talking point.

Another great talking point is the “floating” steel staircase on the ground floor, where you’ll find a spacious home office/study.

The staircase looks amazing with the art deco-style bannister adding a little panache. 

I thought the house might be lacking in natural light, given its shape, but there are lots of windows and a waterfall skylight, ensuring it’s nice and bright without sacrificing privacy.

The “prow” is accessed via sliding glass doors from the lounge. It’s a cute one-of-a-kind balcony with views of Hyde Park across the road.

You would really feel like a captain sitting here, enjoying a rum and coke as the sun sets.

The bedrooms are stylish with the main featuring a beautiful walk-in robe and a hotel-style bathroom.

The home includes a courtyard garden, air-conditioning, miele and smeg appliances and an alarm system.

Situated just off the Vincent-William Street intersection, you are opposite Hyde Park and a short walk from all the cafes, bars and restaurants on Beaufort Street.

There’s loads of public transport nearby, but the home includes a double carport.

This architecturally stunning home manages to combine style with practicality, making it suitable for a small family or an urbane couple.

So grab your sou’wester, Birdseye fish fingers and bottle of navy rum, and take control of this stylish vessel.
