A true Bayswater classic, this circa-1910 character home captures the essence of character living, rich in history, beautifully reimagined, and designed for modern life.
Set proudly on a corner block along a tree-lined street, it has been lovingly transformed over three decades, blending original charm with thoughtful updates. High ceilings, original timber detailing, and rare pressed tin ceilings celebrate its heritage, while two renovated bathrooms, one with a clawfoot bath dual vanity basins. Both bring modern comfort and style.
At its heart, a soaring kitchen with a statement stone island and skylights flows to the dining and sunken living zone beneath a timber-and-steel mezzanine. Bi-fold doors open wide, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, a light-filled retreat offers flexibility as a third bedroom, studio, or workspace.
Outside, life slows down. Entertain under the alfresco, fire up the pizza oven, or unwind in the private, established gardens.
Fully renovated and set on 602sqm with two car ports, workshop, and modern upgrades throughout, this is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle shaped by character, creativity, and years of care.

Bayswater is located on the northeastern side of the Swan River. It is approximately seven kilometres from the Perth CBD and close to Maylands, Morley and Embleton. Bayswater is part of the City of Bayswater municipality, which is colloquially known as the ‘Garden City’. The inner metro suburb, which has a total land area of 10 square kilometres, began its major suburban development in the late 1880s.
Bayswater offers its residents a classic suburban environment close to urban conveniences. The Bayswater Train Station is a major feature of the suburb, which makes commuting around the Perth metro area very easy for locals. There are also plenty of schools within the area, and it is close to parks and other desirable amenities. The Morley Galleria, which is a major Perth shopping centre, is just a short drive away.
