Where lock-and-leave meets luxe and lifestyle.
You’ve read enough property marketing by now to be wary when you come across what seems like the perfect ‘low-maintenance’ home. But this one? It really proves it - and it won’t ask you to compromise on space for a single moment. Set in a boutique group of just four (so: minimal overlap, maximum peace), this expansive double-storey glory hits the sweet spot where everything feels effortless and organised, but not a skerrick cramped. High ceilings, soft neutral tones, and french doors fling open to a limestone courtyard made for romance. Or just salad and a very cold Diet Coke. Wherever you’re at.
The kitchen is snazzily sorted with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, loads of overhead storage, and a double-door pantry that’ll absolutely upgrade your meal prep. Downstairs keeps things tight with a hidden euro laundry, separate WC, and under-stair stash space. But upstairs? That’s where things lean a little more luxe - a landing that flexes beautifully for WFH or layabout moments, and two bedrooms that both get their own bathroom moment. The main also delivers with balcony access via pretty french doors, a walk-in robe, and a semi-ensuite that feels straight out of a getaway, complete with a deep bath and floating timber vanity. Fresh paint inside and out, carport, shopper’s entry - clean, curated, spacious, and styled.
Location-wise, this is Maylands in its smugly cool era, with green spaces, good coffee, and a social scene that fills your calendar. Start super local with Baigup Wetlands (300m), Bath Reserve (500m), De Lacy Reserve (650m), or stretch out to Gibney Reserve (950m) and the Maylands Foreshore (1.9km) when you’ve got time to burn. Coffee and catch-ups are handled by Noggos (900m), Peninsula Farm Cafe (1km), Sherbet Cafe (1.7km), and Mrs S Cafe (1.7km), with nights that naturally drift into Volare Bar (1.7km), Seasonal Brewing Co (1.6km), Lyrics Bar (1.6km), or any of the other great spots within the ever-busy Maylands Social Precinct (1.5km). If you’re feeling active, there’s Maylands Golf Course (1.1km); if you’re feeling practical, Coles Maylands (1.1km) and IGA (1.3km) have you sorted. Community, classes, and culture live at The RISE (1.4km), and when it’s time to get where you need to be, you’ve got Maylands Train Station (1.9km), a bus stop just 83m from your door, and Perth City only 5.6km away, with easy links to Optus Stadium and the airport. It’s the kind of neighbourhood where everything lines up and staying local feels like the best plan around.

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.
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.
