Renovated character home
Built in 1902, this Four-bedroom, Two-bathroom home holds many secrets behind the white picket fence. Oozing plenty of character, this is a rare find in central Maylands with a full eco-renovation in 2015 including several passive design features and a self-contained granny flat/studio with a kitchenette and bathroom. This superb location places you within walking distance of the Whatley Crescent and 8th Avenue tourist precinct buzzing with cafes, boutiques, bars and the Maylands Train Station.
A sustainable building specialist carefully curated the renovations to include a black polished concrete floor to act as a thermal regulator keeping the house warm in winter and cool in summer. Combined with efficient heat pumps and instantaneous hot water, and recladding with insulation, this clever design significantly reduces heating and cooling bills while providing a comfortable climate year-round.
Other highlights include a sleek kitchen, claw-foot bathtub, high ceilings and timber floorboards. The private rear garden is the perfect spot to hang a hammock and relax or host a BBQ.
During the renovations, the owners discovered a time capsule from the 1980s with a note to the future renovator sharing the cricket results and that Australia was in a recession. When the current owners were digging a trench to the sleep-out, several relics from the 1900s were discovered, including a corked vial containing a mysterious substance and a tiny horseshoe.
This is just one of many houses in this pocket steeped in history - and now it's time for you to create a new chapter. Perfect for families and professionals, extended families are well catered for with the granny flat providing additional living space or as a fantastic home office or studio.
Just to add to the appeal of this property, it's also located within the Mt Lawley High School zone and close to Edith Cowan University Mt Lawley campus. You're moments from Perth's CBD, the Swan River, Maylands Yacht Club, supermarkets, Beaufort Street café strip, Northbridge, Galleria Shopping Centre, main arterial roads and the Perth Airport.

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.
