Soaring ceilings, exposed brickwork and substantial original openings provide a constant reminder of the building’s past, while a restrained palette and modern finishes allow those features to remain the focus.Originally constructed between 1914 and 1919 as a factory for Albany Bell’s successful tearoom and confectionery business, Albany Bell Castle is one of the area’s most recognisable heritage buildings. Its red brick façade, rendered detailing, arched openings, battlements and prominent towers have been retained through its conversion to residential use, preserving the architectural identity that has defined the site for more than a century. The property is included on the State Register of Heritage Places.Inside, the generous living and dining areas take advantage of the home’s impressive ceiling heights, creating an openness rarely associated with apartment living. Dark timber flooring provides warmth beneath the neutral interior palette, while large windows and doors draw natural light through the main living spaces. The adjoining kitchen is functional and understated, with extensive cabinetry, ample preparation space and a central bench connecting it naturally with the living area.The principal bedroom is privately positioned at one end of the home and includes a walk in robe and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms sit separately, supported by the main bathroom and a powder room, creating useful separation between the sleeping zones.One of the home’s most distinctive spaces is the covered patio, where original exposed brick and a dramatic arched opening frame views across the established grounds. It creates an intimate outdoor setting that feels intrinsically connected to the history of the building, while a separate drying court, dedicated car bay and additional storage support everyday living.The location places the home between some of Mount Lawley and Maylands’ strongest lifestyle precincts. Beaufort Street remains Mount Lawley’s principal retail and dining strip, centred around its collection of cafés, restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment venues, while the Maylands town centre and Swan River are also within easy reach. Convenient access to Mount Lawley Station and the Perth CBD further adds to the appeal of a location that combines inner city connectivity with the established character of its surroundings.SEALS THE DEALA residence where the architecture provides something genuinely different. From the soaring internal proportions and exposed brickwork to the arched outdoor setting and landmark heritage surrounds, the home retains a tangible connection to Albany Bell Castle’s past while offering the space and functionality required for contemporary living.","YearBuilt":null,"LandArea":null,"Price":{"Currency":"AUD","Amount":null,"Display":"THE DEAL: Expressions of Interest"},"Bedrooms":"3","Bathrooms":"2","Parking":"2","Features":[{"Name":"Bedrooms","Value":"3"},{"Name":"Bathrooms","Value":"2"},{"Name":"Carports","Value":"2"}],"Inspections":[],"Auctions":[],"TimeZone":"AUS Eastern Standard Time","Latitude":-31.93498133,"Longitude":115.88493619,"Agent":{"Name":"David Murray","CanonicalUrl":"https://realsearch.com.au/agent/david-murray"},"Agency":{"Name":"WHITEFOX Perth Pty Ltd","CanonicalUrl":"https://realsearch.com.au/agency/whitefox-perth-pty-ltd"},"CreatedAt":"2026-11-11T07:25:06.7795496","UpdatedAt":"2026-11-11T07:25:06.8023485"}
