9 Ethel Street, Guildford WA 6055

9 Ethel Street represents an iconic example of traditional architectural craftsmanship, serving as a splendid embodiment of one of Guildford's earliest settlement homes, originating around 1870. The impeccable construction is a tribute to the numerous historical residences and establishments that contribute to the enduring fabric of Guildford today.

The crown jewel of this property is undoubtedly its exceptional location in the heart of Guildford, occupying a prominent position in the central-western part of the town.

One of the property's standout features is its expansive wrap-around veranda, which gracefully showcases the historic Flemish bond brickwork.
Inside, the home retains its original kitchen hearth and boasts two pairs of ornate double fireplaces, thoughtfully constructed on the diagonal to offer four fireplaces for the front rooms. These enduring features bear witness to the artistry of the original builder.

In 2001 an extension project begun that revolved around preserving the property's original wellsite. This wellsite, a vital water source for past generations, serves as a remarkable testament to the property's rich historical heritage.

Notably, in 2004, an extraordinary cellar/outbuilding was added to the property, featuring a splendid baroque Sparks Brewery Guildford signboard, which adds a touch of genius to the estate.

This period residence embodies the essence of why Guildford continues to captivate individuals and remains firmly held in high regard by its residents.
