As the title suggests and the photos prove, this charming federation cottage provides lots of photo ops as well as being the perfect place for you to start the next stage of life.
This workers cottage, built for the Maylands foundry, has seen Australia become a nation, two world wars, the moon landing and is still going strong! Nestled on a 288m2 street front block, making it easy for your uber eats driver to find you, the 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom home is full of old-world charm. This includes your front veranda overseeing your white picket fenced front yard, picture framed living area with high skirting boards, ceiling roses and beautifully preserved fireplace.
The open plan living and kitchen area have touches of modern class like feature light fittings, downlights and stainless-steel gas cooktop and oven. The dining area is located in the extended rear of the home, making this the ideal entertainer, perfect to host and show off the original jarrah floorboards to your friends. The master bedroom is located at the front of the home, with the minor rooms both well sized and can be utilised to match your needs: nursery, home office or even convert one to a massive walk-in wardrobe!
The bathroom is neat and tidy with the potential for you to add value and your own style when you’re ready. Outside you have a covered entertaining area and a north facing patch of grass, made for sun-bathing or a veggie patch. Location wise, this is hard to beat. 600m from Maylands' Whatley crescent café strip, and just around the corner is Eighth Avenue and Lyric Lane, with all the restaurants and bars the precinct has to offer. If you need a change of scenery, Beaufort Street is a mere 1.4kms away and the train station is only 600m away, with a 10 minute train ride to the Perth CBD.

Maylands overview
Maylands is a riverside inner-city suburb approximately 4.5 kilometres northeast of Perth, serviced by the Midland railway line on the northern bank of the Swan River. In 1896 the name "Maylands" was first used to identify the area, appearing on a poster advertising a land auction. However the exact reason how the area got its name is something of a mystery.
The suburb was once a source of clay for brick and tile making at Maylands Brickworks, and the pits from these activities are now part of a golf course and residential area. It was home to Perth's main airport until the early 1960s, and the facilities were converted to a training area for the Western Australian Police Service.
Life in Maylands
Maylands is known as a cultural and creative hub as it is home to The West Australian Ballet Centre and home to the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra. In recent years, new bars, cafés and restaurants, along with gourmet food and retail outlets have all contributed to an ongoing transformation of the town centre into a lively, diverse and inclusive destination. There are numerous shopping centres in the area, 15 parks and reserves and two primary schools.
