5 Melrose Street, Leederville WA 6007

Circa 1900 charm has had one magical makeover here — and the result is every bit as gorgeous as you’d hope. Fully renovated from top to toe, this stunning character gem leaves absolutely nothing on the to do list, pairing enchanting original features with modern style and quality, while a flexible central living room can cleverly trade places with a bedroom on either side whenever life demands it. A light filled dining and meals space carries you through to the wet areas and a fabulous rear entertaining deck, where long lunches and lazy drinks are practically part of the floor plan. Best of all, everything exciting in the beating heart of Leederville sits just steps away — adding a whole lot of convenience to what truly is a timeless, yet tempting, offering. Some classics simply get better with age!

Leafy Richmond Reserve waits at the end of the street, while just footsteps away an irresistible mix of trendy restaurants, buzzing bars, boutique shopping and caffeine fixes awaits, including ever popular Gather Bakehouse conveniently holding court on the corner. Catch a movie at Luna Palace, have a hit at Leederville Tennis Club, share dinner and laughs at Kitsch or Pappagallo, then wander Oxford Street or neighbouring Mount Hawthorn in search of your next favourite latte. If keeping active is your thing, run or cycle around beautiful Lake Monger, knock out some laps at Beatty Park or squeeze in a workout at Loftus Recreation Centre — whenever motivation decides to strike. When duty calls, Leederville Train Station is within strolling distance, buses are readily accessible and both the freeway and Graham Farmer Tunnel can have you moving in minutes. City one way, coast the other and virtually everything worth eating, drinking, doing or enjoying in between — life here is seriously well connected.
