The entry foyer, with its stunning Empire State Building-inspired double doors, sets the tone for the elegance that awaits throughout the living spaces, where restored sash windows, original crystal light fittings, and fireplaces add warmth and character.
The curved sunroom, with its black and white diamond checkered tiles, offers a picturesque and elevated view of the 1930’s Art Deco cabana and pool area – a space so authentic that you can easily envision a bygone era’s glamourous soirées, sitting around the pool, having a Gin Rickey or an Old-Fashioned. The outdoor area is complete with a wood fire, sauna, and gym, ensuring all of your lifestyle needs are met.
The accommodations are generous, starting with a master suite that boasts a hand-painted oriental feature wall, ensuite and a walk-in robe. Six additional bedrooms offer plenty of space for family and guests, each equipped with built-in or walk-in robes. The main bathroom, adorned with original olive and mother-of-pearl terrazzo and restored fixtures, radiates vintage charm, while the state-of-the-art kitchen, fitted with Blum cabinetry and other modern amenities throughout the home, ensure it meets the demands of contemporary living.
The lower level reveals a different kind of luxury, featuring a 500-bottle wine cellar and a soundproof theatre room that doubles as a cocktail lounge. Adjacent to this is a separate cigar and whisky lounge with direct access to the under-croft garage, creating an ideal space for relaxation or entertaining in style.

Track propertyThe suburb of Menora grew out of a large area generally referred to as Mount Lawley. In 1954, the Nomenclature Advisory Committee, working with the Postmaster General established suburb names and boundaries for the inner metropolitan area. The area of Menora was considered unnamed, and Menora was chosen as the name because of the Menora Picture Theatre located in Walcott Street within the area.
Menora is home to a large Jewish community, the heart of which is the Perth Hebrew Congregation. It is close to the Carmel Jewish School and other Kosher facilities such as the Kosher Food Centre and Besh Fresh cafe. A Jewish synagogue was opened on Plantation Street in 1973 and remains a significant spiritual focus for Perth's Jewish community.
The suburb contains some commercial ribbon development along Walcott Street, which allows local residents to access retail services. Other facilities include a large number of public open space reserves and several pocket parks, Saint Paul's Primary School and several homes for senior citizens.
