Gorgeous Century-Old Character Home
Available for the first time in almost four decades, immerse yourself in the heart of all that inner city living offers with this freshly painted and thoughtful residence, one that combines the coveted features of yesteryear with a modern sensibility.
Secure and private, this cottage-style 1920s home blends quality timber, earthy red brick, established, easy-care gardens, and a pitched entry roof, immediately conveying the classic architectural style that typifies the area. The heritage allure continues inside, with high ceilings, jarrah floorboards, picture rails, ceiling roses and colourful leadlight windows, all features enjoyed by the king-sized master bedroom facing the private front of the property.
The use of additional space here is also impressive, with a study or chill-out area created in a loft accessed via bedroom two, ideal for a kids' movie night or as a private work-from-home escape.
Stunning jarrah boards continue into the living room, which also houses an ornate fireplace, while the spacious and bright kitchen has managed to retain its original appeal while still offering the ease of a large, five-burner gas stove top and oven. Alongside, a charming Metters stove and white stone hearth create an eye-catching feature that respects the home's history.
Character features aside, contemporary extras include split system air conditioning in both bedrooms and the main living room, a former sleep-out now utilised as a sunny dining space, a contemporary renovated bathroom with clean-lined white tiles, and security doors both back and front.
If you love entertaining, a raised, covered timber rear deck is ideal for kicking back with friends and family, city lights sparkling on the horizon. Creative touches - such as a Mediterranean-style water feature on arrival and a rear outdoor seating space surrounded by lavender and daisies - add to this property's timeless style.
Minutes on foot is the buzz of Beaufort Street's bars and cafés, such as the OG Mary Street Bakery and Si Paradiso, Highgate Primary School and every convenience required for busy people.
