60 Peoples Avenue, Gooseberry Hill WA 6076

Enchanted Federation

PLEASE PHONE ANNELI ON 0417 953 629 TO ARRANGE A VIEWING

At 60 Peoples Avenues is a gorgeous 1946 Federation style cottage ( some say the original build may have been around 1903 ) which has been thoughtfully extended to create a family home, paying homage to the past but embracing modern living styles. In 1934 it was run as a nursing home by Mrs Best. With large gardens, a separate guest house and beautiful Hills’s location, this is a unique home which will appeal to lovers of Federation style, purveyors of quality and is perfectly ready for the upcoming joyful season of summer!

The original entryway remains to welcome you with beautiful natural light highlighting the warmth of wide Jarrah floorboards. The floorboards continue throughout the original cottage, before transitioning to statement polished, naturally irregular shaped slate flooring in the extension. The main bedroom is very large, with a panel of built-in robes ensuring clothing space for all fashionistas. The ensuite is faithfully completed in a federation style, including a statement clawfoot freestanding bathtub overlooking the gardens. The first minor bedroom has beautiful bay windows and a fireplace, the second minor bedroom is accessed off the office and perfect size for a double bed. The two minor bedrooms share the family bathroom, which is also in the federation style and has plenty of storage. A formal lounge room with fireplace and access to the veranda recalls romantic nights by the fireside, perfect for a cosy winter together next year. The office is a central space, excellent for those who work from home and flexible enough to be changed to the needs of the new owner. Finally, a formal dining room completed in a hunting lodge style is evocative of formal meals of Jane Austin’s era, and another flexible space which could be converted to suit your family.

The extension has seamlessly increased the original cottage, to provide a beautiful living and dining quarters. The kitchen envelopes you in a calm vibe, with natural elements celebrated such as the polished slate flooring and solid American Oregon timber benchtops and cupboards. The new owner will be spoiled with all Miele appliances, including a combination microwave oven, separate convention oven, 5 burner gas hob and dishwasher. The sink has views over the sundeck and a built-in water filter for pure drinking water. The walk-in pantry features shelving to the ceiling and could double as a pantry and wine cellar if needed. There is no lack of storage here and if you enjoy preparing your own pickles, preserves or canned goods there is room for a least a year’s worth of food. An open plan informal meals space flows beautifully into the large living room with high ceilings and it hides a little secret - a Narnia style laundry, disguised as a cupboard, which makes a menial house chore just a little whimsical! The alfresco area is also accessed from the living room, with patio roof and sunshades making this the perfect outdoor entertaining area for our upcoming summer.

In a style mirroring the main residence, the guest house is a two bedroom, one bathroom self-contained unit including a living room with kitchenette. This is the perfect space for overseas guests or, if you have teens or young adults at home, a way for modern families to have the space needed while staying together. With loft-style ceilings creating a sense of space, there is plenty of opportunity to stamp your style on the space as the modern colour scheme and fixtures will reflect a wide range of tastes. Sprawling around the property are formal gardens with cottage species mixed with exotics and natives to create a garden full of colour and life.
