The Georgian period is highly admired for its architectural elegance and simplicity, and Tralee is no exception. Rich in history and sympathetically restored, it is undoubtedly one of Perth's most beautiful family homes. The house embodies a balance of traditional and charming elements with modern and minimalist sensibilities. Originally designed for the mounted police in the mid 1830's, the convict built brick home is situated on one of the town's most highly sought after and tightly held locations.  

All the rooms at Tralee have a wonderful sense of space, light and understated elegance. Upon entry, the hallway leads to 2 bedrooms and a large well-proportioned drawing room with soft duck egg blue wall colouring. It is the perfect room to relax and entertain your guests and friends. The ground floor plan also includes a modern bathroom with underfloor heating, laundry, and a TV room which was once a convict cell. The kitchen is a gourmet chef's dream comprising of extensive food preparation and work benches, bespoke cabinetry, Falcon oven and electric induction oven, dining area, high ceilings and character beams, skylights with automated screens, wood heater and a heating and cooling system. The room has abundant natural light and French doors leading to the garden.

The main staircase leads to a large area with a superb modern bathroom, bedroom, and spacious living area. The dormer windows add charm and look over the garden and streetscape.

Superb Georgian architectural features have been retained throughout the house and include the distinctive entry fanlights, high ceilings, multi-paned windows, solid original flooring, wide timber architraves, skirting boards, panelled doors and fireplaces. The house has been fully plumbed, rewired, reroofed, insulated and provides 3 phase power. Tralee is a house which can be enjoyed the moment you walk in. 

The gardens at Tralee have been expertly laid out into garden rooms and provide areas of seclusion, quiet enjoyment and entertainment. The garden consists of open grassed areas, established deciduous and native trees, bulbs, perennials, fruit trees, and vegetables. The 1216m2 (approx.) allotment includes a historic 2 storey brick oast house with charming rustic interiors. There is also a very large old brick building with a loft that is perfect as an artist studio, games room or convert into a self-contained cottage STCA.
