What we love
Highgate – arguably Perth’s most vibrant urban lifestyle precinct to stroll to everything – boutiques, galleries, The Astor Theatre, cafes, bars – it’s all within easy reach.

Behind a veil of lush greenery, iron fencing and adjoining picket fence stands this circa 1895 two-bed, one-bath home exuding a bygone elegance. Swing the gate open to the enchanting front courtyard with thriving frangipani, magnolia and mature succulents. Federation and Art Deco flourishes include a bullnose verandah, black iron lacework, newly painted (black) turned posts, and slim black bars stylishly framing and securing the front bedroom and entryway’s etched glass windows.

Tap at the midnight blue front door with ornate bronze knocker and handle before stepping onto original wide and polished jarrah floorboards, framed by original skirting boards, archways, corbeling, and decorative roses adorning soaring ceilings throughout.

Freshly painted (white) throughout, the wide hallway provides passage into two spacious (bed)rooms with high ceilings, sash windows and feature pendant lighting. Continue to the first of two living areas with reverse cycle aircon, adjoined by a spacious U-shaped kitchen and dining area with Art Deco-inspired etched glass windows, dishwasher and gas stove. Granted, this space needs some TLC, but imagine what you could do with the light-filled area.

Step down into the second living/dining area, flooded with morning light, thanks to a wall of French windows overlooking the rear courtyard, imparting a sense of Parisienne charm as you enjoy your morning coffee and croissant, obtained from the plethora of nearby cafes. The bathroom with freestanding shower and laundry recess is to the right. The layout offers flexibility – two living areas, separate living and dining, as well as a dedicated study or dressing room, if you only need one bedroom.

The private rear courtyard has a storybook feel to it with a patchwork of vine-entwined steel frames, rustic sleeper decking, recycled bricks and lawn. A red-capped gum tree, festooned with delicate lights provides whimsical evening illumination, while shrouding a kefir lime tree from direct sun. Margarita anyone? A fold down clothesline is discreetly tucked behind the trees adjacent to a whitewashed recycled brick wall – no doubt the keeper of many secrets shared in this garden over time. Old lockers serve as eclectic outdoor storage and can be left at the buyers’ choosing, while the side of the house poses many future uses, while currently nurturing an array of vegetables. This property is a perfect match where bygone elegance meets vibrant urban lifestyle!
