Timeless beauty. Modernised additions. A bounty of extras.
Some homes have character. Some have sophistication. Some have practicality. And then… every so often a home like this comes along, where all three collide in the most spectacular way. Encompassing four glorious levels and lush, manicured gardens, this Queen Anne Federation beauty isn’t just a standout property; it’s a statement. Originally built in 1913, she’s been meticulously extended, thoughtfully renovated, and brilliantly upgraded to blend old-world charm with modern-day convenience, because in this new life, you can have both.
Not only have the impeccable renovations included additions of new levels and rooms, but they have also placed accessibility and the option for multi-generational living front and centre. We’re talking widened doorways, a wheelchair-friendly ensuite, two levels that can function as stand alone homes, and a commercial-grade 10-person lift that whisks you effortlessly between the first floor, ground floor, and basement. But let’s be clear; functionality here never comes at the expense of style. Original leadlight windows have been double-glazed for efficiency while preserving their vintage allure, and the tilt-and-turn windows and oversized external doors are also double-glazed, because comfort should be a given. In fact, all the contemporary practicalities blend seamlessly with exquisite details from top to bottom, leaving no doubt that this is a truly superb prestige residence.
Clever storage solutions abound, including fold out cupboards, integrated fridges in both kitchens, under-stair storage, and walk-in wardrobes, but you’ll barely notice them given the ornate features abundant throughout. From the rustic floorboards below to the intricate cornice and ceiling moulding above and all the details like the original fireplaces (since converted to gas heaters) in between, you’re spoilt for eye-candy everywhere you look. Comfort is yet another element taken to the next level here. Air conditioning is a given, but there’s also the luxurious spa bath, and the misting fans on both the balcony and paved entertaining area. With such an impressive list of features it’s difficult to encapsulate all the reasons that this home is a cut above the rest. But if you’re seeking a premium lifestyle without compromising on charm or uniqueness, this is it. See for yourself.
Location-wise, this is as primo as it gets. And yet you’d be forgiven for barely giving it a second thought; it’s only natural to be bewitched by this phenomenal home. You’ll be torn between hitting the town and staying in, but with the best of Beaufort Street less than 150m from your door, we’re sure we can tempt you out. The ever-enchanting Astor Theatre with its endless buffet of gigs, comedy acts, and live theatre is a mere 450m away and sure to be one of the pillars of your social life. Of course restaurants, bars, and cafes are what Mount Lawley is known for, so get amongst the action whether it’s a casual coffee at Modus (700m), substantial brunch at Cheol’s (650m), speakeasy vibes at Cypher (900m), divine Japanese flavours at Ittaba (350m), tasty Asian fusion at Miss Potts (600m), classic Italian meals at L’Antica (500m), or upscale yet old school offerings at Le Rebelle (350m). With bus stops, local schools, sports clubs, and the iconic Fresh Provisions (500m) just adding to the appeal, life here will surely be sublime.
