Along a leafy Inglewood streetscape where mature trees frame the footpaths and the suburb's mid century character remains visible, this residence sits comfortably among its neighbours with the familiar 1954 facade remaining intact and carefully preserved.
What follows is something entirely unexpected.
A contemporary architectural addition reveals itself beyond the original home, culminating in a substantial family residence designed for modern living and large scale entertaining.
A welcoming garden introduces the home with cottage character. Reticulated greenery softens the clinker brick exterior, while the original rooms reveal the generous proportions typical of mid-century construction.
Three bedrooms occupy this front portion of the home. Plantation shutters filter light through leadlight windows in one of the rooms, where an original fireplace remains as a reminder of the home's beginnings. Double glazed windows provide comfort through additional bedrooms, while the family bathroom has been fully renovated with floor to ceiling tiling, a double vanity, frameless shower and rain sensor Velux skylight overhead. Underfloor heating ensures comfort through the cooler months, extending through the bathrooms and main living zones beyond.
Then the home changes.
Completed in 2022, the renovation and architectural extension transform the original residence into a substantial contemporary family home while respectfully retaining its mid-century origins. Stepping beyond the original rooms, the space opens unexpectedly into a dramatic rear living domain.
Only then does the material palette reveal itself. Exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors and matte black accents establish a modern industrial tone, while exposed timber beams punctuate the ceiling plane above.
Clerestory windows draw natural light deep into the living areas while automated blinds allow the atmosphere to shift throughout the day.
The kitchen sits within its own defined zone behind a full-height wall of glass, allowing it to operate as a true working space while remaining visually connected to the living and dining areas.
Cabinetry lines the walls in a refined contemporary finish, while stone waterfall benchtops form an expansive island with breakfast bar seating. A Belling gas upright oven supports the cooking zone, alongside an integrated Fisher and Paykel refrigerator and freezer with ice maker. Behind the scenes, a fully fitted butler's pantry provides additional preparation and storage space.
Above the living domain, a mezzanine level sits within the roofline, accommodating a lounge and study area along with dedicated storage rooms. From here, the living space below reveals its full scale.
The main living and dining zone opens through wide bi-fold doors to the Merbau alfresco deck, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to move easily together. Electric outdoor blinds provide flexibility for year round use. Landscaped gardens soften the edges of the space.
Just off the kitchen, a smaller courtyard introduces a quieter outdoor moment. Positioned to capture northern light and sheltered beneath a wind sensor awning, the timber deck offers a private place for morning coffee or evening conversation.
Positioned privately at the rear of the residence, the main bedroom enjoys separation from the original rooms at the front of the home. Exposed brick introduces warmth and texture, while the suite includes a walk-in robe and a well-appointed ensuite. Underfloor heating continues here, reinforcing the comfort found throughout the newer sections of the residence.
The surrounding neighbourhood reflects the character of Inglewood itself. Set within easy reach of both Grand Promenade Reserve and Macauley Park, the home also sits within walking distance of Inglewood Primary School and St Peter's Primary. Beaufort Street's well-known cafe and dining strip is close by, bringing morning coffee, weekend brunch and relaxed evening dining into easy reach.

Dotted with character homes and just north of bustling Mt Lawley, Inglewood has all the benefits of inner-city living without all the chaos. Rich in history, most of Inglewood's development occurred in the first half of the 20th century with a flurry of Federation and Californian Bungalow-style construction. Thankfully, many of the elegant commercial and residential buildings have been restored, and unlike many older suburbs close to the city, they still retain their original block sizes. Falling under the Shire of Stirling, the main commercial area focuses around Beaufort Street, with most homes branching off along the avenues. While Inglewood's character homes and cafes hold much charm, the neighbourhood is also popular for the Inglewood Night Markets and sporting facilities at the Terry Tyzack Aquatic Centre, Mount Lawley Golf Course and Macaulay Park.
Acton | Belle Property Mt Lawley is headed up by experienced, highly regarded directors with a prolific sales history in Perth’s premium inner north areas. Co-principals Scott Fletcher and Chris Pham lead a highly professional team who are dedicated to delivering an exceptional service in real estate across Mount Lawley and the near-city suburbs – some of Perth’s most sought-after and dynamic real estate markets.
