Reasons to call this home

Century-old character graces this gorgeous 5 bedroom 2 bathroom family home in the heart of North Perth – one that has undergone a modern extension and transformation, ensuring quality family living for all involved. High ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, picture rails and high feature skirting boards are commonplace throughout, helping preserve the property’s original nostalgia of yesteryear. The bedrooms are all generous in their proportions, inclusive of an upstairs fifth bedroom – or nursery – behind the privacy of double doors, where you will also discover access up to the roof storage space, as well as a cathedral-style ceiling and leafy glimpses to the city.

The massive master retreat across the passage defines relaxation and benefits from clear views of the Perth city skyline. Its neighbouring ensuite-like bathroom plays host to a bubbling spa bath, a separate shower, heat lamps and twin “his and hers” vanity basins. Back downstairs, a stylish and contemporary open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is a classy space with a feature log fireplace, a ceiling fan (with a ceiling rose), sleek stone bench tops, an island breakfast bar, double sinks, an appliance nook, a stainless-steel dishwasher, an integrated microwave and excellent stainless-steel range-hood, gas-cooktop and oven appliances. Off here, outdoor access to a stunning pitched patio deck at the rear is rather seamless – with covered alfresco-style entertaining complemented by another ceiling fan, plenty of lighting and drop-down café blinds, for protection from the elements. It all so pleasantly overlooks a large backyard-lawn area, framed by established easy-care gardens. What a setting.
