THE DEAL
A Federation-Georgian, its past is historically a ‘police cottage’ etched into the character of its bow-fronted verandah and picket fence. Beyond the humble façade lies a home that blends its storied heritage with contemporary living in the heart of Highgate.
Inside, Jarrah floors have been beautifully repolished, fireplaces anchor the original rooms, and skylights flood the interiors with soft natural light. The hall is lined with three bedrooms, each with its own personality, while the third features full-height built-in robes, easily adapting as a home office or study.
Beneath the living room floor, a concealed cellar nook adds a whisper of intrigue and old-world charm.
At the rear, a modern kitchen and dining space brings the home into the now, fitted with a Smeg 900 mm oven, Miele dishwasher, and European-style laundry. Light pours through French doors opening to paved and secure gardens, where Wi-Fi-controlled reticulation makes maintenance effortless.
The outdoor store, repurposed from the original WC, nods to its 19th-century roots, while NBN connection and LED lighting throughout elevate everyday convenience.
Comfort comes easy with three split-system air-conditioners, and street parking is taken care of with three residential permits, rare for such an inner-city address. From the doorstep, it’s an easy stroll to the cafés and restaurants of Highgate and Mount Lawley, with Hyde Park, Northbridge, and the CBD all within reach.
SEALS THE DEAL
A Green Title home with deep heritage and a lifestyle position that’s impossible to beat, Lincoln Street is proof that history and modernity can coexist beautifully and that some stories only get better with time.
