A Character Home with Soul, Space and Lifestyle Flexibility

Welcome to 86 Douglas Avenue, South Perth - a home filled with warmth, character and personality, beautifully refreshed to offer modern comfort while retaining the charm that makes homes of this era so special. Set on a generous 582sqm block, this inviting residence offers space, flexibility and lifestyle appeal in one of South Perth's most convenient locations.

From the moment you arrive, there is an immediate sense of appeal. Behind its character façade is a residence that feels inviting, relaxed and full of possibility. High ornate ceilings, rich Jarrah timber floors and beautiful original details create a timeless foundation, while thoughtful updates throughout make the home wonderfully comfortable for today's lifestyle.

The floor plan offers three spacious bedrooms, all complete with built-in robes, with excellent flexibility to use the second living room as a fourth bedroom if desired. Upstairs, the private primary retreat provides a peaceful escape, complete with excellent storage, a modernised ensuite and a lovely sense of separation from the rest of the home. The additional bedrooms continue the character feel, showcasing charming original features, generous proportions and impressive ceiling heights.

At the heart of the home is the renovated and extended kitchen, designed to bring people together. Finished with premium Caesarstone benchtops, a Caesarstone splashback, custom shelving and a 90cm Smeg induction freestanding cooker, it offers both style and function. The kitchen connects beautifully with the main living, dining and bar areas, creating a warm and welcoming space for everyday living, entertaining and family gatherings.

The main living and dining area is a true highlight, with soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light and French doors opening directly to the backyard. The unique built-in bar adds another layer of charm and is sure to be a conversation starter when entertaining family and friends.

Outdoors, the backyard has been transformed into a vibrant, low-maintenance sanctuary made for enjoying Perth's sunshine. A large expanse of lush lawn provides the perfect space for children and pets to play, family cricket on a summer afternoon, or simply enjoying the feeling of open space that is becoming increasingly rare in South Perth. Composite decking, fully reticulated lawns and established garden beds create a private and relaxed setting, ideal for weekend entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. There is also excellent potential to add a pool in the future, further enhancing the lifestyle appeal.

One of the home's rare advantages is its outstanding access and parking flexibility. With access to both sides of the property as well as the front, there is room for up to five vehicles on site, plus additional space for a Jet Ski, trailer, small boat or other lifestyle extras, depending on size. This is a feature rarely found in character homes and adds genuine practicality to the property.

The home has also benefited from valuable recent improvements, including professionally cleaned and insulated roof space, high-quality insulation, Velux skylights with solar blinds, underground power to the street and recent road resurfacing.

The location completes the picture. Wesley College, named Australia's Best Private School in the 2026 Schools360 rankings, is just a short walk from the home, offering an exceptional lifestyle advantage for families. You can also stroll to local shops, cafés, restaurants and the beautiful South Perth Foreshore. Perth Zoo, Crown, Optus Stadium, the airport, the CBD and the river are all within easy reach, making this one of South Perth's most convenient and desirable lifestyle positions.
