Period Property in Prime Position
What will you fall in love with first – the prime location in the heart of Maylands, or the original period features of this charming character cottage?
This is a three-bedroom property with a huge amount to offer. Situated on a tranquil, tree-lined street, it's easy to picture yourself sitting on the front veranda, watching the sun set over the trees, before wandering down to Eighth Ave or Whatley Crescent for dinner, drinks and a catch-up with friends. Wander in the opposite direction and you'll soon find yourself on the banks of the Swan River, sharing the tranquillity of the evening with a black swan.
You'll love coming home to this delightful cottage, with its original period features, high ceilings, open fireplaces and Jarrah timber floorboards. The country kitchen even boasts the original Metters stove. Outside, there's a superb, secluded courtyard with established trees and plenty of room for parking.
Yes, this three-bedroom home among the gum trees really does have the lot – it even has the white picket fence!

Maylands overview
Maylands is a riverside inner-city suburb approximately 4.5 kilometres northeast of Perth, serviced by the Midland railway line on the northern bank of the Swan River. In 1896 the name "Maylands" was first used to identify the area, appearing on a poster advertising a land auction. However the exact reason how the area got its name is something of a mystery.
The suburb was once a source of clay for brick and tile making at Maylands Brickworks, and the pits from these activities are now part of a golf course and residential area. It was home to Perth's main airport until the early 1960s, and the facilities were converted to a training area for the Western Australian Police Service.
Life in Maylands
Maylands is known as a cultural and creative hub as it is home to The West Australian Ballet Centre and home to the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra. In recent years, new bars, cafés and restaurants, along with gourmet food and retail outlets have all contributed to an ongoing transformation of the town centre into a lively, diverse and inclusive destination. There are numerous shopping centres in the area, 15 parks and reserves and two primary schools.
