Dating back to circa 1898-1900, the standalone structure is believed to be one of the few remaining carriage stables from West Perth’s early residential period, offering a rare opportunity to acquire an intact piece of the city’s architectural history.
“This is a true one-of-a-kind offering,” said Brett Wilkins, director at RWC WA. “The building’s character, heritage significance, and location on the CBD fringe combine to make it unlike anything else currently on the market.”
Located on a 198sqm* site with approximately 115sqm of internal building area, the property is vacant and ready for adaptive reuse, with potential for creative commercial, boutique hospitality, or premium office conversion - subject to heritage considerations.
“Buyers are increasingly looking for authenticity - spaces with soul. This property ticks that box in every way,” said Luke Pavlos, director of commercial services at RWC WA.
Originally constructed as part of the larger Malia House estate, the stables served as private equine storage at a time when West Perth was a prestigious residential district. While many similar structures were demolished throughout the 20th century, this site has survived, earning it a heritage listing (Place No. 03299) with the City of Perth.
Likely buyers include owner-occupiers such as boutique agencies, designers, or café and bar operators, as well as investors or developers experienced in adaptive reuse or heritage work.
“There’s real scarcity value here,” said Mr Pavlos. “You’d be hard-pressed to find another standalone character building of this scale, this close to the city, with this kind of provenance.”
West Perth continues to evolve as a mixed-use precinct, with renewed demand for boutique commercial and lifestyle-driven tenancies, supported by infrastructure investment and CBD population growth. The area’s appeal to creative industries and premium occupiers places assets like 21 Mayfair Street in a niche but growing segment of the market.
The property is being offered by a private owner, with a strong interest in seeing the asset preserved and reimagined in a way that respects its historical fabric.
