In a Word: Sanctuary
Set quietly within one of Maylands’ most tightly held residential pockets, 13 Sopwith Elbow is a home that has been thoughtfully designed to create separation, comfort and calm at every turn. Built in 2001 and positioned on a 400sqm allotment, it delivers scale, flexibility and a genuine sense of retreat without sacrificing everyday functionality.
The ground floor is configured for modern family living. A dedicated office near the entry provides an ideal work-from-home zone, while a separate theatre offers a private space to unwind. Timber floors lead into the expansive open-plan living and dining area, anchored by a generously proportioned kitchen appointed with gas cooktop, dual ovens and dual dishwashers. Off the kitchen, a walk-in pantry and adjoining laundry enhance practicality, while a downstairs powder room supports daily living and entertaining with ease.
Outdoor living is a standout. The cedar-lined alfresco, complete with European Urban Stone paving and cafe-style weather blinds, creates a true all-seasons entertaining space that connects seamlessly with the main living zones and rear garden.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned across the level, offering a sense of separation and privacy rarely found in homes of this era. The main suite sits privately within the layout, complete with built-in robe, ensuite and its own balcony, while the remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and independently placed around the family bathroom. An additional balcony and a ladder-access attic with full-height ceilings add further flexibility and valuable storage.
Within the well sought-after Maylands Peninsula, Sopwith Elbow is prized for its quiet, community-focused feel. Riverside walking trails, Lake Brearley Reserve and the Swan River foreshore are all close at hand, while the cafes and energy of Whatley Crescent and the convenience of Maylands Station sit just minutes away. It is a location that balances lifestyle, connectivity and tranquillity with rare consistency.

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.
