5A Princess Road, Doubleview WA 6018

THE DEAL
Set on a generous street-front block in one of Doubleview’s most sought-after, tree-lined pockets, this 1951 character home effortlessly combines timeless craftsmanship with modern updates. A limestone and timber fence, draped in lush vines, frames the expansive front yard — perfect for summer dinners on the deck, relaxed afternoons on the large, manicured lawn, and gatherings that linger into the evening. This is a home made for making memories.

Inside, the home’s soul shines. Extra-large windows draw in the greenery, while the gas fireplace adds year-round comfort. Original jarrah floors, ornate ceiling roses, delicate cornicing and soaring ceilings speak to an era of craftsmanship almost impossible to replicate today. Thoughtful touches — like Bauwerk Limewash in the bedrooms, an eco-friendly Perth-made paint with all-natural, chemical-free properties — elevate the home with warmth and calm. The bathroom is modern, fully tiled and functional, with a clean, contemporary finish that complements the home’s character while offering everyday practicality.

Step outside to the rear deck, where exposed brick walls are softened by flowering greenery, creating a charming sitting area that flows into the tree-lined courtyard — perfect for a relaxed dinner party or simply shaping the space however feels right. Storage is deceptively generous, keeping life effortless; everything has its place, so much so that you wouldn’t even know a baby lives here.

The lifestyle is hard to beat. Enjoy slow mornings under the frangipani with a coffee in hand, or open the front doors to take in the peaceful outlook of the gumtree and surrounding greenery. Just a short stroll takes you to the corner dairy for your morning coffee or to St Brigid Bar for an afternoon wine or an easy dinner.
