96 Shakespeare Street, Mount Hawthorn WA 6016

Situated within Mount Hawthorn’s leafy neighbourhood, this character-filled home has been respectably brought into the current century while exuding heritage charm. This stunning property is a testament to historic architecture and contemporary functionality, ideal for families and professionals seeking a home they can enjoy from the moment they unpack.

The high ceilings, jarrah floorboards, plantation shutters, wide hallway and leadlight windows compliment this spacious home featuring four bedrooms (with the option for a fifth), two bathrooms, two living spaces, a well-equipped galley kitchen, a study and alfresco dining.

Its flexible floorplan is another highlight, since two of the bedrooms at the front of the home offer external access via French doors. One of these generous rooms has a decorative fireplace, and either room would work well as a home office or studio, as would the formal lounge or the upstairs study.

The connection to the outdoors adds to the tranquil and neutral interior via two sets of French doors from the living room and meals area into the backyard and alfresco dining. Access to the front yard through two bedrooms has created more spots to relax and admire the cottage gardens and other quality homes you’re surrounded by. The balcony off the spacious primary suite provides leafy views of the garden, neighbourhood and city glimpses, as well as a retreat with a spa bath for parents to indulge in some well-deserved downtime.

Alfresco dining is a joy beneath the pitched-roof deck overlooking the landscape garden, including a generous lawn framed by raised garden beds with established greenery. The white picket fence in the front yard sets an elegant tone from the moment you arrive home.

This urban address has elements of country charm, presenting the best of both worlds for those seeking a laidback pace with the convenience of having schools, tourist precincts, shops, parks, public transport and Perth’s CBD within easy reach. From this central location, you can stroll to Mount Hawthorn Primary School and Les Lilleyman Reserve, where the kids will love the playground and basketball courts. On the way home, stop off for a coffee along Mt Hawthorn’s café strip or pop into the Mezz Shopping Centre or any of the specialty stores in this vibrant precinct. Imagine how much fun your nights out will be without having to drive home, or hitting the restaurants, bars and Art Deco Luna cinema in Leederville a 15-minute walk down Oxford Street. Saturday mornings at the nearby Kyilla Community Markets are sure to fill your soul and pantry.

A little further afield, Lake Monger and Herdsman Lake offer kilometres of walking and cycling trails among fauna and wildlife. Beatty Park Leisure Centre, Aranmore Catholic College, Perth College, Edith Cowan University and being in the Bob Hawk High College catchment caters well to your family’s needs just a few minutes away. There are bus stops on Woodstock, London and Scarborough Beach roads, and the Glendalough Train Station a couple of kilometres away offers parking and will have you in the heart of the city in moments.
