120 Anzac Road, Mount Hawthorn WA 6016

From the gorgeous gardens alone, it’s easy to understand why the current owners have loved this stunning four-bedroom, two-bathroom character home for 34 years. Situated in prime Mount Hawthorn and built in 1946, this historic home retains the charm of the era with leadlight doors and windows, jarrah floorboards, high decorative ceilings and ornate door handles.

Entering the corner 513sqm block beneath the portico and into the walled garden, you’ll be immediately captivated by the mature cottage grounds blooming with lavender and roses. Even the front verge is adorned with wildflowers and lush, mature native plants along the Matlock St verge and fruiting olive, lime, lemon, orange and mandarin trees inside the grounds. By the time you’ve arrived at the cedar-lined front porch, you’ll be equally impressed with the bespoke features inside.

The grand formal lounge at the front of the home, accessed through double leadlight doors, encapsulates the Californian Bungalow style of design, including a fireplace and views of the porch and gardens through leadlight windows. This room currently serves as an impressive 4th bedroom.

A 2010 extension created a delightful open-plan living/dining room and a well-appointed country kitchen with cathedral ceilings and expansive windows, French doors and glass bricks flooding this room with natural light. The grand ceiling height continues outside beneath the pitched and bamboo-lined patio. This area further extends your living space and is ideal for relaxation and entertaining, and as the warmer weather approaches, you had better fire up the BBQ.
The colour-bond roof installed in 2010, plus the immaculate condition of this home ensures minimal maintenance is required. Yet, this character home caters well to modern living without sacrificing those heritage details.

You could almost go without a car in this area, with Aranmore College’s primary and high schools within walking distance. You have the Oxford Street and Scarborough Beach Road café and shopping precincts, including The Mezz Shopping Centre, a five-minute walk away. A 10-minute stroll will have you in the heart of Leederville, where you’ll discover more restaurants, boutiques and Luna Cinemas. Nearby Braithwaite Park has an exceptional playground and the Mount Hawthorn Community Centre, not to mention being in the desirable Bob Hawk High School catchment area!

After all those lattes and outstanding cuisine, it’s lucky it’s a leisurely stroll or power walk to the cycling/walking trails in the Britannia Road Reserve or around Lake Monger. For those times you do need your car, you have easy access to arterial roads, including the Mitchell Freeway, or the Leederville or Glendalough train stations, which will have you in the CBD in five minutes.
