8 Kenny Street, Mosman Park WA 6012

Honouring the historic charm of this endearing three-bedroom, two-bathroom worker’s cottage is a captivating, white-washed interior of original jarrah floors, leadlight doors, pressed tin ceilings and walls, and an ornate archway leading to a rear, open-plan, light-filled extension.

Primely located on an elevated north-facing position, this is a home where front porch views and cooling sea breezes will play host to sunset drinks and casual dinners, while the enchanting rear garden - framed by olive and citrus trees, Mediterranean herbs, a limestone paved patio and natural shade cast by a huge poinsettia - is a tribute to French provincial style.

Extensively renovated three years ago, the owners have added a new tin roof, hot water system and aggregate concrete driveway to complement an entirely practical design.

French stacker doors from the living room open fully to reveal garden and patio views, while a huge skylight pours natural light into the modern kitchen equipped with wide Caesarstone benchtops (and meals counter), ILVE appliances (including a five-burner stove top), loads of gloss white, soft-closing cabinetry and a cleverly concealed European laundry.

A guest bathroom, appointed with industrial chic highlights of stone, grey tiles, a deep white tub and basin and louvered windows, completes the rear extension, while three generous bedrooms, all with reclaimed timber doors, along with a charming dining room with original fireplace, picture rails and an elegant chandelier, can be separated via a stunning leadlight French door installation.

With views above the rooftops, the master suite is the perfect sanctuary in which to rest and unwind with a large window seat, white plantation shutters, built-in-robe, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a discreet ensuite bathroom with heated ceiling lights and a continuation of industrial chic highlights.

The remaining bedrooms include built-in-robes; one with a ceiling fan and the other with reverse-cycle air-conditioning and plantation shutters; plus the handy addition of a pull-down ladder to a generous roof attic.

Homes of this caliber, heritage and fit-out are extremely sought-after, especially due to their low-maintenance, yet luxurious lifestyle attributes and access to the very best of Perth’s raw and natural beauty.

Meander to the river and beach, take a nature walk through untouched bushland, catch the nearby train to Fremantle or the CBD, or stroll to local schools, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets (Wellington Street IGA and Mosman Park Coles) and fitness studios.
