Once in a while, a rare gem comes to the market; a residence that is unique and irreplaceable. The Rokeby development comprises just 9 apartments, blending modern living with a deep respect for Subiaco's heritage. It enhances the vitality and streetscape of Rokeby Road. The design of The Rokeby honours the area's history while incorporating contemporary elements.
This apartment boasts clean, simple interiors and features a private Veranda overlooking the Rokeby Road footpath-a unique offering never before seen as a residential space. This rare residence at 368 Rokeby Road captures the essence of Subiaco's 1930s street history when it was a vibrant, bustling area with a mix of residential and commercial properties. Verandas like the one offered here were common along Rokeby Road.
Despite its exposure to the vibrant and picturesque southern end of Rokeby Road, the building remains discreetly nestled at this boutique end, serving as the ultimate private sanctuary within a lively urban neighbourhood.
Positioned to offer the best of inner-urban life, this residence benefits from Subiaco's recent ranking as Australia's most liveable city (Australian Liveability Census 2023). It offers convenient access to boutique shops, popular cafes, renowned restaurants, and cultural hotspots-all within walking distance. With a walkability score of 94/100, it's easy to leave your car behind and complete daily errands on foot. Plus, you're mere minutes from public transportation hubs and just 4km from the city. A 10-minute walk to the train station, followed by three stops to the CBD, offers car-free living. Alternatively, take a 5-minute walk to catch the free Purple Cat bus and be in the city in 8 minutes.
In their boutique scale, the architects have created a unique aesthetic that enhances the serene living experience in an active neighbourhood. Inside, the clean, modern interiors reflect the architects' signature bespoke design philosophy. The attention to detail is evident in the finishing, resolution, and consideration of space, resulting in well-designed living areas. The interior design is unapologetically contemporary and innovative.
'The Veranda' apartment is a unique single-story residence, facing Rokeby Road, with no adjoining apartments on either side. It includes a spacious living, dining, and gourmet kitchen area, all with views of the Veranda and Rokeby Road. The separate master suite enjoys the same view via its bay window seat and bifold window to the veranda and streetscape. All of this, and at the press of a button, motorised drop blinds create an even more private sanctuary in the sky, fitted with strip lighting and remote-controlled ceiling fans. And all of this can be set up via the Siri or Google Home thanks to the smart wiring of the apartment.
Two further secondary bedrooms, a full bathroom, and laundry are secluded at the rear of the apartment, with direct access to a private 50sqm courtyard with the second access door to the lift. Overall, this apartment boasts over 90sqm of open space. Complete with directly accessed storage from the courtyard and its two secluded parking spaces, this apartment is a rare find in a secure building.
