THE DEAL
This original 1927 residence presents a considered blend of enduring character and contemporary comfort. Jarrah floorboards, soaring ceilings, decorative cornices, ceiling roses and leadlight windows preserve the home’s period identity, while a series of carefully selected upgrades introduce the ease required for modern family living.
Beyond the wrought-iron front fence, the elevated facade creates an immediate sense of presence. The broad front balcony provides a welcoming place to pause and take in the streetscape.
At the centre of the home, a spacious open-plan living area is anchored by a brand-new electric fireplace and connects effortlessly with the outdoors through traditional French doors. A substantial second lounge offers exceptional flexibility, functioning equally well as a separate retreat, formal living room or optional fifth bedroom.
The newly renovated kitchen balances refined presentation with serious functionality. A complete suite of brand-new Bosch appliances includes two ovens, two dishwashers and an induction cooktop with an integrated rangehood, complemented by a built-in wine fridge. Designed to accommodate both everyday life and large-scale entertaining, it forms a natural gathering point within the home.
Generously proportioned bedrooms continue the sense of space, with reverse-cycle air conditioning extending throughout every bedroom and living area. Two toilets provide further practicality, while a large attic, accessed by a pull-down ladder, offers valuable storage without compromising the home’s living spaces.
To the rear, a broad balcony captures views towards the city, Optus Stadium and the WACA Ground, creating an elevated setting for relaxed evenings and outdoor entertaining. Below, the expansive yet low-maintenance backyard is enriched by established gardens, two storage sheds and an impressive collection of mature fruit trees, including mandarin, lime, kaffir lime, strawberry guava, pomegranate, apple and peach.
Approved plans and engineering drawings provide scope to introduce an additional downstairs bedroom and ensuite within the home’s existing footprint. Positioned within a short walk of the Beaufort Street entertainment precinct and close to excellent schools, the residence combines character, flexibility and location in one of Mount Lawley’s most desirable settings.
SEALS THE DEAL
Rich in original detail yet comprehensively equipped for contemporary life, this is a home of warmth, scale and remarkable versatility.
