A nod to its original architectural canvas, this historically significant Federation home is enhanced by a stylish contemporary overlay. Renovated by its current owners in 2018, architect Lara Mackintosh executed a solar passive design that beautifully harmonises the past with the present. The clever design, recipient of multiple awards by the Master Builders Association of WA, has added cubic meterage without compromising its rear garden and outdoor space, creating a seamless blend of history and modernity.

The home nestles on a wide yet intimate tree-lined street, featuring beautifully restored homes and leafy manicured gardens. The substantial single-storey brick building has a distinguished presence behind its decorative fence, while its carefully restored frontage celebrates the charm of its traditional neighbourhood setting. The front garden filled with topiary trees, verdant shrubs and a herringbone brick path, leads to a classic deep bullnose veranda. To the rear is a paved porch, shrouded in established grapevines, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy outdoor living.

The home's gracious front entrance features colourful and immaculate leadlight, also seen throughout the residence. Soaring 12-foot ceilings and seamless Jarrah floors unite the old with the new. Heritage detailing, such as ceiling roses and decorative cornices are enhanced by an elegant neutral colour palette.

The original home seamlessly connects to its contemporary extension that embraces a generous living and dining space. The home's original brickwork is brilliantly showcased on the exposed internal feature walls, creating a jumping-off point for the adjoining open-plan kitchen’s aesthetic. Vast timber framed windows and a servery open to the back garden, effortlessly merging indoors and out. The custom stainless steel countertops and splashback, along with crisp white cabinetry and tapware by Perrin & Rowe, are complemented by an island bench with a rich Jarrah bench top by Boranup Gallery and a second sink by Schock. Weeknight cooking is a pleasure with a 75cm built-in oven designed by Australian chef Neil Perry for Omega and a chef-standard Bora cooktop, including induction, gas, and teppanyaki, with ducted downdrafts eliminating the need for a range hood. The adjoining scullery offers ample storage and a commercial-sized sink perfect for entertaining.

In the bathroom, an Italian Teuco shower/bath combination and a custom-made Jarrah vanity benchtop are accented with luxurious Perrin & Rowe tapware and basin. A separate space houses a wall-mounted toilet and vestibule.

At the rear, there is an outdoor shower and bathroom with city glimpses and elevated garden beds lined with Cottonwood trees, offering privacy, while a pond filled with goldfish provides serenity.

The three bedrooms are spacious and bright and exude character with their ornate heritage features, decorative fireplaces, and contemporary plantation shutters. The main bedroom includes beautifully rich timber built-in robes and a gas fireplace, warming the space in the winter.

The home is ideally situated just a short stroll from the beauty of Hyde Park and some of Highgate’s most sought-after dining options and artisanal makers, including the renowned Chu Bakery. Its strategic location means it's a mere 5 minute walk to Mount Lawley and Northbridge and a leisurely 20 minute stroll into the Perth CBD, making it a convenient and beautiful place to call home.
