As for lunch and dinner, well eating out is so, so easy. There’s The Garden up the road, tapas at either Duende or Pinchos, Bunn Me, Grill’d and even Six Senses for some gourmet Thai food. A little further up are the likes of Pappagallo, Three Sisters Vietnamese, Daph’s Restaurant, Kitsch Bar Asia, the Amani Kitchen and Bar, Robert’s on Oxford and a host of other fabulous spots on the very same strip. The Re Store is just around the corner for some tasty delights, with the 24-hour IGA Good Grocer supplying you with everything else you need, day and night. Be one of the first to experience Electric Lane, too – an under-used laneway and new social centre and true community hub for Leederville locals, in the thick of the entertainment strip and bustling food precinct. Leederville Oval is on your doorstep too – and it’s an easy stroll to beautiful Lake Monger. Also very accessible is the buzzing Mount Hawthorn café strip. Public transport isn’t a fuss, with the Leederville Train Station close by and the freeway entrances north and south both literally just around the corner.

WHAT THE OWNER SAYS
“It’s easy to imagine living in the heart of Leederville. The cafes, restaurants and bustling high street that you can emerge yourself in nightly. It’s an easy, vibrant, and full-filled sense of community. However, it’s the surprising things about living at 178 Carr Place that were special. The natural sunlight that pours into the home, the open planned seamless flow from indoor to outdoor, and the appreciation of its history yet convenience of a new build. We adored the Leedy life and was a privilege to immerse ourselves in it.”
