7 Rockton Road, Nedlands WA 6009

Impressively situated on a superb corner block, this sublime Federation Queen Anne residence designed by architect of the day Norman Hitchcock, has been lovingly restored and updated for modern living. Step through a white picket fence into an inviting yard teeming with fruit trees leading to the bullnose veranda embellished with iron lacework. Inside, you will find a wide arched hallway with soaring ceilings, freshly painted walls throughout and original Jarrah floors.

Quite frankly, you simply cannot beat the elegance of this turn of the Century home. Stunning timber sash windows, generous skirting boards, decorative cornices and original fireplaces (three of them!) these rooms have abundant natural grandeur.

Morning sun fills the master bedroom and filters through French doors, into the cleverly extended huge open plan living area and kitchen, with timber benches and 900mm La Germania 5 burner gas oven. More French doors lead into a plant-filled, limestone walled retreat where you can enjoy surrounding gumtrees and refreshing sea breezes. There is a covered seating area and plenty of room to relax and entertain all year round.

Via a private entry above the rear garage, you will find a studio apartment with bathroom, kitchenette and a large space with vaulted ceiling and Juliette balcony that would make an excellent home office, art studio or guest accommodation.

Don't delay, this leafy period home has it all.
