End Date Sale - Absolutely ALL OFFERS to be presented by Tuesday, 24th March at 5pm unless sold prior
There is a presence to homes of this era that is difficult to replicate. Decorative timber fretwork traces the return verandah, tuckpointed brickwork catches the changing light and the proportions speak of a residence designed for gatherings, family life and long afternoons beneath the verandah. More than a century on, that character remains unmistakable.
The approach reinforces the sense of occasion. A circular brick driveway curves through limestone garden walls and tiered plantings of ornamental pear, magnolia and established greenery soften the scale of the residence. The forecourt provides generous off-street parking alongside the remote garage, while the verandah settles comfortably amidst the gardens.
Inside, the character reveals itself in layers. Polished Jarrah floorboards run beneath wainscoted walls and ornate cornices, while leadlight windows and pressed tin ceilings introduce moments of craftsmanship that immediately secure the home to its era.
The central living and dining space draws natural light through French doors and windows, creating a setting that connects easily to the outdoor areas while remaining calm and quiet thanks to double glazing. An entertainer's kitchen sits comfortably, finished with classic shaker cabinetry, generous preparation surfaces and a Belling range cooker, introducing a distinctly farmhouse influence.
Accommodation is arranged across both levels, allowing the home to adapt easily over time. Three bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, including the main suite where pressed tin ceilings, plantation shutters and a fully fitted walk-in robe connect to a private ensuite. A central family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on this level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms continue the refined character of the home. One opens directly toward the balcony and functions comfortably as an alternative primary suite, sharing a spacious two-way ensuite. A family lounge sits alongside, extending naturally to the large covered terrace where the elevated outlook captures glimpses of the city skyline.
The upper terrace becomes the defining entertaining space. Sheltered beneath decorative timberwork and large enough for both dining and lounge settings, the loggia captures elevated outlooks and evening breezes while retractable screens provide comfort through the seasons. At ground level, the private courtyard introduces a more intimate gathering space, complete with a pizza oven framed by established greenery.
The surrounding neighbourhood continues to reinforce the appeal of the location. Beaufort Street's cafes, restaurants and local boutiques sit within easy reach, while nearby parklands and Mount Lawley Golf Club offer green open space for recreation. Perth College, Mount Lawley Senior High School and public transport connections further support the long standing desirability of this central Mount Lawley position, with Perth CBD only minutes away.
