Set within an elevated Nedlands position, 65 Tyrell Street presents an elegant blend of architectural character, scale and family liveability. Built in 1935 and designed by renowned architect James Birtwistle, this distinguished residence sits on a generous 1,012sqm landholding and has evolved gracefully over time, retaining its original detailing while thoughtfully incorporating contemporary comfort.
Privately positioned behind electric gates and surrounded by established gardens, the home is both secluded and welcoming. Inside, original Sheoak and Jarrah flooring sets a refined tone, complemented by decorative ceilings, ornate cornices, curved leadlight windows, arched openings and finely crafted timber joinery that highlight the quality and craftsmanship of the original build.
Multiple living zones provide excellent flexibility, with elegant formal rooms balanced by generous informal spaces designed for both everyday family living and entertaining. Fireplaces, feature ceilings and carefully preserved detailing add warmth and character throughout, while the home's proportions allow each space to feel both inviting and substantial.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms and three bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged across the home. The bathrooms are finished in a timeless, heritage-inspired style, featuring traditional tiling, classic fittings and elegant detailing that complements the home's original character. Upstairs, a private parents' retreat unfolds with a small lounge opening to a balcony, before flowing through to the primary suite complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, offering separation and privacy from the main living areas.
Outdoor entertaining is equally compelling, with a generous alfresco entertaining area set within established gardens, providing a private and relaxed backdrop for long lunches and evenings with friends. On the lower level, a light-filled art gallery / teenage retreat offers a distinctive and versatile space for display, creative use or adaptable living, with discreet storage positioned at the base of the stairs.
Ideally positioned close to Melvista Park, Nedlands Golf Course, the Swan River, UWA, local cafés and leading schools, this is a rare opportunity to secure a refined family home of substance, character and enduring appeal in one of the most desirable residential settings in Nedlands.
