Behind its classic white façade, this charming 1920s cottage offers a warm and welcoming place to call home. With polished jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and original features throughout, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home retains the character of its era while offering comfortable everyday living. Set on a generous 491sqm block, a spacious backyard and covered alfresco provide plenty of room to enjoy outdoors, all within walking distance of Mount Hawthorn’s popular cafés, parks and local amenities.
A traditional red concrete path leads through the front garden to the covered porch, setting the tone for the character that awaits inside. Stepping through the front door, the lounge welcomes you with polished jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and decorative wall mouldings that reflect the home’s heritage. A fireplace with a gas heater adds warmth to the room, while plantation shutters and split-system air conditioning provide comfort throughout the year.
The two bedrooms are positioned towards the front of the home, both accessed from the front lounge and continuing the polished jarrah floorboards. Each features a built-in robe, while bedroom one also enjoys natural light through windows finished with plantation shutters.
Continuing through the home, the kitchen retains the cottage’s original charm, with a freestanding electric oven and cooktop positioned within the original brick oven alcove. Built-in cabinetry and bench space provide room for everyday meal preparation, as well as dining within the space. Split-system air conditioning adds further comfort, with a separate room just off the kitchen providing a convenient space for a home office or study.
Towards the rear of the home, the bathroom features a classic clawfoot bath with an overhead shower, timber flooring, vanity and toilet. The adjoining laundry is generously sized, with checkerboard flooring, a built-in linen cupboard and laundry sink.
Stepping outside, the covered and paved alfresco provides a sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, overlooking the spacious grassed backyard. Established fruit trees add to the garden’s appeal, while the fully fenced yard offers plenty of room for children and pets to play. Two storage sheds, one incorporating an original outdoor toilet, provide additional space for tools and outdoor equipment, with side gate access adding further convenience.
Combining timeless cottage character, a generous backyard and an inviting Mount Hawthorn lifestyle, this is a home with plenty to enjoy both inside and out.
Located within walking distance of Mount Hawthorn Primary School and close to Menzies Park and Braithwaite Park, the home is well placed to enjoy the neighbourhood’s cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.
