19/39 Fourth Avenue, Mount Lawley WA 6050

When a home holds someone for nearly five decades, you know it's special. For the current owner of Unit 19, Hartford has been that place since the day it was completed in 1976-a community of just 19 apartments wrapped around a lush central courtyard, where neighbours know each other and the gardens feel like an extension of your own home.

From its red brick façade and colonial-style shutters to the turned timber posts and intricate iron balustrades, Hartford radiates 1970s charm. It's an era that has come full circle-and here, it's beautifully preserved. This top-floor apartment has been immaculately cared for in original condition, even retaining some of its retro light fittings. Freshly painted in crisp white and layered with plush neutral carpet, the interiors are bathed in light and enriched with features like arched doorways and generous glazing.

The open living area flows with ease to a spacious balcony, where a leafy Fourth Avenue outlook invites you to stay. The adjoining kitchen is a retro time capsule-green cabinetry, geometric-patterned tiles, and a pristine white benchtop. Spacious, functional, and ready to enjoy as is, with the option to pair with modern finishes to honour its mid-century personality-or completely redesign.

Both bedrooms are exceptionally generous, each fitted with built-in robes. The bathroom continues the nostalgic thread, with a mosaic-tiled floor, oversized shower, large vanity, and timber-accented mirror. Cleverly combined with the laundry, it offers a large trough and ample room for a washing machine and dryer-generosity rarely found in apartment living.

And the location? It's all about walkable convenience. East of Beaufort, you can wander to the buzz of either Maylands, Inglewood or Mount Lawley-cafés, bars, and dining from morning through to night. Stock up at The Good Grocer just steps away, where gourmet produce makes Saturday night dinners with friends effortless. For fresh air and open space, Shearn Park and Faull Park are both close by, or head to Goodlife and find your own fitness community.
