6 Smyth Road, Shenton Park WA 6008

Love at first sight is a big call, but this charming family haven makes a rather convincing case — cosy in all the right places, surprisingly spacious in others and still proudly wearing much of its century old character and nostalgia. Thoughtful splashes of modern style bring the story beautifully into the present, without ironing out the quirks and personality that make an established residence so very special. But beyond the walls is where things really get interesting, with a dream backyard setting where decked alfresco entertaining melts into Mother Nature and the local birdlife provides a soundtrack no Spotify playlist could quite replicate. Warm, whimsical and wonderfully inviting, this is a home with history in its heart, scenery at its back door and plenty of fun waiting outside. Now, this is what you call tugging at the heartstrings!
