Heritage, but make it hot
Welcome to where architecture has attitude.
Prepare to fall dramatically, unapologetically in love because this is one of those rare homes with big main character energy. It’s a 1937 facade flaunting original feature brickwork, flirty leadlight windows, and a presence that has been turning heads for almost a century, all backed by heritage bones, architectural swagger, and a modern rear extension that delivers both classic charm and mod cons. Push open the wide double French doors and a hallway so tall it deserves its own postcode greets you, complete with domed ceiling detail and polished floorboards that have absorbed stories since before your grandies planned their first slow dance. Every original room is a mood, with picture rails, decorative ceilings, architraves, tall skirtings, and leadlight accents catching the light just so. Roll on through to the solid brick extension and cue the gasp: here’s a luminous open plan living and dining zone framed by more classic leadlight, scattered with sunlit patches where kids and/or pets will happily flop. The kitchen steps in as the cook’s ultimate HQ, with plentiful benchspace, warm timber look cabinetry, loads of storage, and serious appliance cred, along with a long breakfast bar that seats three - so you can host yourself, your favourite human, and whichever friend shows up with the best story of the day. All three bedrooms are a heritage love fest, but the main suite goes full swoon with intricate ceiling detail, French doors to the side, decorative fireplace and afeature glass entry door. The central bathroom brings classic checkerboard tiles, the scullery style laundry off the kitchen plus separate loo keeps things practical, and out back a private covered alfresco filters natural light while keeping your business entirely your own.
Location wise, this is basically the cheat code to living your best life with a daily set of gloriously wonderful choices, from Silly Goose Cafe & Bar (200m) for your morning pick-me-up, Maylands Train Station (230m) or Mount Lawley Train Station (1.1km) for a smooth commute, and Shearn Park (270m) for a quick breather before the day starts. When you want good times on tap, Volare Bar (450m) and Mrs. S Cafe (450m) are practically neighbours, Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop (500m) handles every sweet craving, and Seasonal Brewing Co (600m), Lyrics (600m) and Testun Bar (1.5km) take care of all the friend-catch-ups that end in just one more drink. Beaufort Street (900m) fills your weekends with energy, while Bardon Park and the Swan River (1.5km) deliver sunsets that stop you in your tracks. Everyday errands stay delightfully painless with Coles Maylands (1km), Woolworths Inglewood (1.1km) and The Good Grocer IGA (1.5km) all within reach, and when the city calls your name, Perth CBD (4.3km) makes the whole thing feel almost too easy. Schooling options will make future you very smug thanks to being zoned for Inglewood Primary School and Mount Lawley Senior High School, plus nearby favourites like Perth College Anglican School, St Peter’s Primary School and Chisholm Catholic College keep every stage of learning covered.

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.
