There's something undeniably special about homes like this - the ones that carry a sense of history yet feel so perfectly in step with today.
Built in 1907, this North Perth classic sits proudly on Christmas Hill, its characterful façade a graceful nod to a bygone era. The moment you arrive, there's that feeling of substance - the timeless street presence, the wide verandah, the established gardens - all hinting at a home that's been loved and thoughtfully evolved over time.
Step inside and the story unfolds. Once a magazine cover girl the original period detailing sets the tone - high ceilings, warm timber floors, decorative skirting boards, and that unmistakable sense of character. But wander further, and the home opens into something new - where heritage charm and modern living come together in perfect harmony.
The architectural extension is all about connection and entertaining - a striking dining space flowing effortlessly to a sunken lounge, creating a sense of openness, comfort and atmosphere. Vaulted ceilings and Velux windows bathe the space in natural light, bringing an airy, uplifting quality that makes everyday living something to savour. Upstairs, a mezzanine-style living area captures sweeping city views - the perfect spot to unwind as the skyline glows at sunset.
Beyond the living spaces, the outdoor alfresco continues the story of easy entertaining, set within beautifully landscaped gardens. At the rear, a picturesque garden studio offers the ideal space for work, creativity, or quiet retreat.
The main bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary which overlooks the garden area, it is complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a recently renovated ensuite - a truly serene start and end to the day.
With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's space and flexibility for families or guests, while the seamless blend of old and new ensures everyone feels at home.
And when it's time to head out, you're just moments from the cafes, bars and restaurants of Angove Street - an easy stroll for your morning coffee or dinner with friends.
This is North Perth living at its finest - character, space and style, all wrapped up in one beautiful package.
