69 Matlock Street, Mount Hawthorn WA 6016

Enjoy the privileges of your own gloriously maintained, century-old character home – leave it as it is or redecorate to your heart’s content!

Over the years, this charming 20th century home has retained its solid foundations and distinctive features, such as white lattice across the veranda and stained glass in gemstone colours. Polished Jarrah floorboards throughout offer durability and character, and two of the three bedrooms are big enough to build a private world inside, accentuated by garden views and meticulously maintained fireplaces for unbeatable mood lighting. The third bedroom is slightly smaller but has amazing built-in storage, offering the opportunity for a dedicated dressing room.

The renovated bathroom has been updated to match the rest of this gorgeous home, featuring a traditional medicine cabinet and freestanding clawfoot bathtub, an extra-wide shower and floor tiles with diamond inserts. Further down the corridor, there is a dedicated study nook or small parlour with double-door access to outside, a dining space with inbuilt shelving and mantlepiece over the fireplace, a 24sqm living room, and a discreetly modernised kitchen with ample storage and a cheeky 6-bottle wine rack built below the vast benchtop.

Numerous outdoor sitting spaces supply choices for enjoying Perth’s balmy evenings – whether it’s a spontaneous chat with neighbours from the front veranda or a private dinner party with your favourite people. A rear entertainment area has been insulated from the weather by pergolas, drop-down café blinds and tranquil native gardens. The house is bordered on all sides by lush, established greenery, including the reclaimed verge, which is a short walk from the Naturescape at Braithwaite Park, a selection of schools, public transport options and Mount Hawthorn’s vibrant dining and shopping precinct. This 470sqm block is also close to Leederville cafés, Osborne Park and Perth City.
