THE DEAL
A sense of timeless elegance pervades this meticulously-renovated 1940's -built character Californian bungalow, a true testament to the visionary mind of its owners — esteemed architectural sociologist, Dr Jack Tooley and his husband Scott King.

Located right on the border of North Perth and inspired by their contributions to iconic local structures The Big Black and the celebrated Misty House, both heralded at the prestigious Steven's Institute of Technology in New York and featured in Architecture Media Politics Society, this unique home embodies innovation and style.

Every corner of the residence reflects a fusion of heritage charm and contemporary sophistication, curated by someone deeply immersed in the art of space and culture. Imagine living and entertaining in a series of free-flowing spaces that blend seamless functionality with artistic flair, crafted with insights from years of collaborating with national brands, celebrities' own abodes, flagship stores and upscale hospitality venues.

Out front, security is enhanced by a remote-controlled access gate that creates two driveway parking spaces and is framed by an acoustic wall on the western side of the garden, as well as a delightful entry verandah. Original leadlight doors and windows, as well as original solid wooden Jarrah floorboards and trims are commonplace, with soaring high ceilings and decorative cornices also helping preserve the property’s classic nostalgia of yesteryear.

Gorgeous double French doors shut off a spacious front lounge room that comprises of an ornate brick fireplace and a split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control. Separate double French doors lead through to a large dining room, keeping meals segregated from conversation.

An impeccably-revamped central kitchen is more than generous in its proportions and enjoys the luxury of ample storage options, as well as a floating breakfast bar for quick bites. Adding to the class on show are an integrated stainless-steel range hood, a stainless-steel Viali gas cooktop, a Harbour oven, an integrated Domain dishwasher, high-end tapware and penny-round tiled splashbacks.

A massive king-sized master bedroom near the entry takes full advantage of a warming north-facing aspect, with its built-in wardrobes complemented by another split-system air-conditioning unit. The second bedroom is also of the king-size variety and has built-in robes of its own.

An updated main bathroom is dominated by terrazzo porcelain tiles, also featuring a walk-in shower, vanity and toilet. A carpeted third bedroom off the meals area can easily be converted into a decent study if need be and sits opposite the combined second bathroom-come-laundry – making the most of both the floor and wall space on offer with its shower, separate toilet and a wash trough with under-bench drawers.

Beyond the kitchen, a private and sunken rear deck is where most of your entertaining will be done, within the most surprisingly-tranquil of outdoor settings.

Amongst the extra features of this refurbished gem are stunning sash windows, designer light fittings, security doors and screens, a gas hot-water system, low-maintenance gardens and a handy side-access gate connecting the front and back of the home. Just bring your things and move straight on in, because something very special awaits you here, from within these very walls.
