A true classic reborn, this vintage 5 bedroom 2 bathroom treasure of a bygone era has been lovingly transformed for modern family living, without losing an ounce of its timeless charm.
Behind the character façade lies a stylish, contemporary sanctuary where high ceilings, polished floors and original details meet the comfort and convenience of today. Every space tells a story — one that celebrates history, craftsmanship and connection — while offering an effortless lifestyle in a home that feels both rich in heritage and refreshingly new.
The property is also nestled right in the heart of South Perth and only walking distance away from our picturesque Swan River, the spectacular foreshore precinct and even the vibrant Angelo Street food, coffee and shopping strip. What a setting.
Both the low-maintenance front yard and double carport are securely gated for peace of mind, as is a delightful entry deck. At the rear, a sparkling-blue resort-style below-ground swimming pool takes centre stage and is stunningly overlooked by covered alfresco and patio entertaining decks that seamlessly merge as one.
There are also two outdoor ceiling fans to help circulate the fresh air, as well as a large lock-up workshop shed with a roller door. With more than enough space to laze around the pool under the summer sun, this truly is a backyard oasis like no other.
Bi-fold doors create an integration between the poolside deck and a massive downstairs open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where most of your casual time is destined to be spent. Here, gleaming wooden floorboards, feature recessed ceilings and a reverse-cycle cassette air-conditioner are complemented by an island breakfast bar with gas cooking and a large ceiling-mounted stainless-steel range hood, double sinks, double stainless-steel ovens and sleek white cabinetry.
Also off the living zone lie a linen press, a separate powder room and a well-appointed laundry with over-head and under-bench storage, tiled splashbacks and external access for drying. The second bedroom has a storage cupboard and a split-system air-conditioning unit, whilst an ornate brick fireplace, feature character ceilings and more solid timber floors make up the front formal lounge room.
Completing things on the lower level is a superb front master suite with split-system air-conditioning, a fan, feature ceilings, a decent separate walk-in wardrobe and a stylish ensuite bathroom with a toilet, shower and twin “his and hers” vanity basins.
Generous carpeted fourth and fifth upstairs bedrooms have six doors of wall-to-wall built-in robes (as well as over-head storage cupboards) and split-system air-conditioners in common, also sharing access to a large covered back balcony with splendid views across the surrounding treetops. The carpeted third bedroom is also huge and features its own split-system air-conditioner, as well as a four-door built-in robe with over-head storage. A carpeted landing doubles as an upper-level study nook, with the minor sleeping quarters also serviced by a spectacular renovated main family bathroom – shower, separate bathtub, toilet, twin stone-vanity basins, dual mirrors and all.
This dream family location will have you and your loved ones living so close to bus stops, lush green local parks, other cafes and alternative restaurants, with some public-transport routes even take you directly into the Perth CBD for work. Additionally, the wonderful Mends Street Jetty, Perth Zoo, amazing golf courses, exceptional schools (including Wesley College) and so much more are within arm’s reach, for good measure.
Welcome to where heritage meets harmony — a perfect pairing of past and present. They definitely don’t build them like this anymore!
