With its tuck-pointed brickwork, rendered façade and lace fringed verandah, the original cottage whispers of a bygone era — graceful, grounded, and quietly grand. Set discreetly behind stately entry doors, it offers a sense of seclusion from the street — a private retreat from the everyday hum of the world beyond.

Inside, all the hallmarks of a bygone era remain - jarrah floors, arches, sash windows, fireplaces, and leadlighting. Maintained beautifully throughout, the residence offers a traditional aesthetic whilst offering spacious rooms rich in soul. 

Two spacious front bedrooms enjoy northerly light and offer elegant fireplace details and built-in robes, whilst a third bedroom down the hallway offers built-in robes. The bathroom features floor to ceiling tiles and a modern look and feel. 

A sumptuous living room provides a relaxing space, complemented by decorative cornices, a fireplace, plantation shutters and direct access to the kitchen. The well appointed kitchen reflects its heritage past, and features a pressed tin splashback, exposed brick wall and a leadlight window. A Smeg cooktop, granite benchtops, a double sink and classic joinery complete the area. 

Multi-generational living for older family members, a teenage retreat or a wonderful guest zone is yours in the rear studio - a contemporary and fully self-contained space featuring concrete floors and an open plan design. The kitchen includes stone benchtops and a breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining. A generous bedroom offers a quiet retreat whilst the bathroom includes a free-standing bath with shower, adding to its appeal. For those seeking to generate rental income, the rear studio has its own entry via the rear lane and separate NBN, providing separation from the front house. 

Outside, a row of 80-year-old olive trees lines the garden bed, guiding the way to the sunlit studio. This outdoor retreat is framed by a red brick wall and a paved courtyard. A generous shed tucked discreetly to the side offers superb storage, while the overall setting feels like a secret garden designed for quiet moments and creative escape.

Positioned on the cusp of the CBD, this is inner-city living at its most connected. Stroll into the heart of Perth, wander through the nearby and majestic Hyde Park, or start your day with a coffee from beloved local spots like Chu Bakery or Bootoo. Here, the city's finest offerings are quite literally at your doorstep.
