Romantic renovated character home
Behind the white picket fence, this home is as gorgeous as you'd expect from its pretty façade adorned with rose bushes and an elegant, decked veranda. It's so beautiful that it has been named "Jenolan," an aboriginal word meaning "high places," which is where the next lucky owner will feel they've been transported to as soon as they move into this five-bedroom, two-bathroom character home.
Originally built in 1920, extensive renovations from 2016 have brought this property into the next century with a large extension while retaining all the period features and romance of the era, such as jarrah floorboards, high decorative ceilings, ornate fireplaces and generously sized rooms.
The old and new sit alongside in harmony, with high ceilings and recycled bricks from the original home carried through to the extension, featuring polished concrete flooring and double-glazed windows and doors leading to alfresco dining. This impressive extension houses a private wing with one bedroom and a family room (that could also be a fifth bedroom) and large open-plan living and dining with a gas fireplace. A gourmet kitchen with stone countertops, high-end appliances, a scullery and an island with seating is ideal for all the entertaining you'll be doing from your alfresco deck, not to mention the pool with a slide tempting big and little kids.
The original part of the home includes a family bathroom, separate laundry leading to a drying courtyard and three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a fireplace, a walk-in robe with leadlight doors and an ensuite with a freestanding bath inspiring luxurious nights in.
Situated on a 1012 sqm block with established gardens divided into zones catering to families of all ages, a double garage and workshop include an additional room ideal as a studio, games room or gym.
From this central location, you're within walking distance of the Mount Lawley, Inglewood and Maylands dining and shopping precincts, Maylands train station and Shearn Park. You're only a short distance from Perth's CBD, the Swan River, Edith Cowan University, Mount Lawley Golf Club and Perth College, plus you're in the catchment for Inglewood Primary School and Mount Lawley Senior High School.

Maylands overview
Maylands is a riverside inner-city suburb approximately 4.5 kilometres northeast of Perth, serviced by the Midland railway line on the northern bank of the Swan River. In 1896 the name "Maylands" was first used to identify the area, appearing on a poster advertising a land auction. However the exact reason how the area got its name is something of a mystery.
The suburb was once a source of clay for brick and tile making at Maylands Brickworks, and the pits from these activities are now part of a golf course and residential area. It was home to Perth's main airport until the early 1960s, and the facilities were converted to a training area for the Western Australian Police Service.
Life in Maylands
Maylands is known as a cultural and creative hub as it is home to The West Australian Ballet Centre and home to the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra. In recent years, new bars, cafés and restaurants, along with gourmet food and retail outlets have all contributed to an ongoing transformation of the town centre into a lively, diverse and inclusive destination. There are numerous shopping centres in the area, 15 parks and reserves and two primary schools.
