THE DEAL
High on the hill in one of Perth’s most coveted pockets, this landmark Federation-style residence commands attention for all the right reasons. With its stately verandahs wrapping both levels, a grand sense of arrival is matched only by the panoramic city skyline framed beyond.
From the moment you enter, the craftsmanship of another era is immediately evident - soaring 3.6m ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and hardwood boards all speak to the home’s enduring elegance. Yet the spaces feel lived-in and welcoming, designed to evolve with the rhythm of everyday life.
The layout balances formality and flow. Multiple living zones offer flexibility, while fireplaces in the front lounge and dining room evoke the warmth of winter gatherings. The kitchen, overlooking the gardens, has been cleverly updated with stone surfaces, a walk-in pantry and central island, allowing for family conversation and entertaining in equal measure.
Three generous bedrooms anchor the accommodation, each with custom cabinetry, natural light and their own unique outlook. The main suite opens directly to the upper verandah with views over treetops to the CBD - an ideal perch for your morning coffee. A striking ensuite features stone countertops, brass tapware and French doors that blur the boundary to outside. Meanwhile, the second bathroom and powder room carry through the home’s gentle layering of old and new.
To the rear, a private alfresco space, complete with an outdoor kitchen and café blinds, provides a seamless transition from indoor dining to summer evening entertaining. Beyond, a tranquil garden is filled with mature plantings, soft lawn, and a bubbling water feature that sets a relaxed pace. Under the home, three large storerooms span over 59sqm and offer potential as a wine cellar, artist's studio or workshop.
Practicality hasn’t been overlooked - ample parking, secure fencing, attic storage, ducted air conditioning and manicured grounds make living here as easy as it is inspiring.
SEALS THE DEAL
From its elevated vantage point in Menora, with direct access to Mount Lawley, North Perth and Hyde Park, this is a residence that celebrates history without feeling caught in it. A family estate of rare presence and comfort, where character and functionality quietly co-exist.
