49 Mary Street, Highgate WA 6003

This brilliant fusion of classic federation character and modern chic is nothing short of captivating, situated on the elevated Mary Street with the age old trees providing a breathtaking canopy of greenery. The iconic Mary Street is arguably the most sought-after street in Highgate with properties here rarely coming to market.

The attractive red brick tuck-pointed façade with bull-nosed jarrah verandah and traditional leadlight entrance, sits elegantly behind limestone-coloured fence piers interlaced with bold wrought iron, proudly expressing it’s belonging to the federation era. Upon entering the home, the theme continues with the hallway, bedroom and study at the front half of this unique abode boasting high decorative ceilings, jarrah floor boards and traditional fireplaces.
It is beyond this point where the evidence of the $1.5m the owners spent to create a home of standout quality and individual design is on show for all to witness. The split level layout sees three further bedrooms and two bathrooms at ground level, including the large master bedroom enjoying pool views and with in-vogue ensuite bathroom and clever walk-in robe section with discreet built-in robe convenience.

The unquestionable hero of the home awaits teasingly upon the upper level, beckoning you to selfishly ignore the rest of the house and reward yourself with your favourite drink while lounging on the outdoor entertainment deck and soaking up the majestic city skyline views.

The exquisite kitchen is punctuated with 40mm waterfall stone tops and lengthy breakfast bench, oodles of cupboard space, quality appliances including integrated dishwasher, 900mm gas cooktop and oven. This overlooks the open plan lounge and dining with high vaulted A-frame ceilings, polished timber flooring and ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout.

It will hardly be surprising to see a throng of family and friends descend upon you to share in the entertaining lifestyle on offer, with either a home-made pizza form the in-built pizza oven on the upper deck, or a dip in the below ground pool set amongst the manicured rear gardens, finishing off with a wine or two on the adjoining cabana lounge.

The extensive separate rear entertainment room which has been built over the double garage is ideal as a large gym or yoga room, or set up your full sized billiard table with drinks on hand from the purpose built corner bar area. Alternatively, this could be perfect as a secluded extra bedroom which is serviced by its own bathroom.

Extra features include:
- A cute mid-home courtyard, which the owners cleverly designed by utilizing the original fireplace and chimney as part of the old kitchen.
