If walls could talk, this stunning old-world apartment in Bulwer would tell stories of charm, history, and quiet sophistication.
Nestled in a prestigious, old-money neighbourhood, this spacious 3.5-bedroom residence offers incredible potential—whether you’re looking for a forever home, an investment property, or a high-yield rental opportunity.
From the moment you step into the grand colonial building, you’re greeted by the effortless grace of high sculpted ceilings, classic plastered walls, and a beautifully maintained facade. The cool, breezy hallway leads you to your first-floor apartment, elevated just one flight of stairs, giving you both convenience and views to admire.
This apartment seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern functionality. The original wooden flooring has been stylishly overlaid with porcelain tiles, enhancing both warmth and durability. Sunlight pours in all day long through the north-facing bedrooms, offering a bright and airy ambiance.
Originally a 2-bedroom, the sprawling lounge and dining areas have been converted into an additional bedroom, which features an extended half-section that comfortably fits another sleeping area—giving you a total of 3.5 bedrooms.
This makes it a perfect multi-functional space for families, investors, or student accommodation landlords.
The compact yet functional kitchen comes fully fitted with a hob, oven, and extractor, alongside built-in cupboards for ample storage. A stylish space that’s practical for everyday cooking, with the potential for modern upgrades.
