13 Parke Road, Gooseberry Hill WA 6076

Positioned within one of the area's most historic and tightly held precincts. Proudly offered to the market for the first time in many years, this remarkable residence-built circa 1926-has been lovingly maintained by long-standing owners and presents a rare opportunity to secure a true piece of Hills history.

Constructed using on-site blockwork in the 1920s, the home showcases classic Federation-style architecture, complete with wide verandas (originally wrapping the home and now spanning two sides), jarrah floorboards, soaring ceilings, high skirting boards and beautifully preserved jarrah timber architraves throughout.

The accommodation includes generous bedrooms with high ceilings and feature windows. The original master bedroom includes a built-in robe and split-system reverse-cycle air conditioning, while the remaining bedrooms echo the home's original proportions and charm. The main bathroom, renovated in the 1990s, includes a shower, vanity and WC, with a second bathroom located within the extended wing of the home.

Living spaces are both impressive and atmospheric. The main lounge-almost ballroom-sized-features an original Victorian-style built-in wood fireplace, while a second living area offers a slow-combustion heater for cosy winter evenings. The dining area adjoins the renovated galley-style kitchen, and various split-system air conditioners provide year-round comfort.

What was once part of the original veranda has been cleverly enclosed to create an additional bedroom/study and second bathroom, along with a versatile utility or storage room-offering flexibility to further enhance or reconfigure to suit modern living.

Stepping outside, the property truly comes into its own.

Set on a sprawling block of 2,755 sqm, the gardens are an extraordinary feature-filled with mature trees, fruit trees, natives and exotics, all carefully nurtured over many years. Meandering paths wind through the grounds, revealing vegetable garden areas, a striking mature she-oak, and multiple garden zones to explore and enjoy.

Additional improvements include a block-constructed workshop echoing the home's original materials, a greenhouse, and a fascinating converted historic water tank now used for storage-offering exciting potential as a creative space, studio or retreat.
