99 Thomas Street, Subiaco WA 6008

This majestic turn of the century (Edwardian) two story limestone home c 1907 is one of the few remaining original two story homes remaining in Subiaco today. Whilst it has been lovingly restored and retains its original character features it sits across 2 lots and offers huge potential for future development and improvements (double block, zoned R60 and not heritage listed). The grand limestone façade, stunning leadlight windows, polished Jarrah floorboards, cantilevered return balcony, original fireplaces, high skirting boards, soaring ceilings and ornate ceiling mouldings all feature throughout providing charm and character. The servants quarters were demolished in the 1990's, but the service buttons remain in the formal lounge and formal dining room.

It enjoys an unparalleled outlook onto Kings Park. The low maintenance and mature extensive gardens include fruiting citrus, apricot and olive trees together with a fragrant rose garden and 3 tiered fountain which regularly welcomes a variety of birds to bathe in its water - A tranquil haven on the city's doorstep. The owners have cleverly designed the whole garden area to be secure, perfect for those with a young family.

San Mateo is a grand home. It features 3 extremely generous bedrooms, formal lounge, formal dining, informal living, alfresco undercover area, 2 bathrooms, powder room, outdoor studio and shower, garage and extensive gardens for relaxation and entertaining. It has off street parking for up to 5 cars, dual access of road and rear lane. The upstairs bedrooms are all double glazed and are whisper quiet. It is walking distance from the CBD, within the Free Transit Zone and the catchment zone for Bob Hawke High School and Subiaco Primary School and proximate to the hospital precinct. This is a fantastic location to live the city lifestyle but on a large, private block.

Originally built by Hugh and Elizabeth Oldham, it was sold to Leah Mitchell (considered one of the wealthiest women in Perth in her time) in 1918 and by all accounts stayed in the Mitchell family until 1963 when it was sold to Jean Rogerson, an academic at the University of Western Australia who created two separate residences with entrance to the upper level through what is now an outdoor cupboard. During its long history, it has been home to 7 families, 2 small businesses (jeweller and curtain making) and more recently the Swiss Consulate in Western Australia.
