7 Mary Street, Highgate, WA 6003

There are houses, and there are homes. Number 7 Mary St is undoubtedly the latter.

This is a stunning four-bedroom character home with a heartfelt tale to tell, in a dream Highgate position. Its story begins in 1897, when five Sisters of the Order of Our Lady of the Missions (also known as the Sisters of Notre Dame of Missions) came to Western Australia and opened the Sacred Heart School. In September 1898, the foundation stone was laid for a combined school and convent, the Monastery of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.

7 Mary St was built in 1907 for the Sisters of the Order, with the first Highgate Hill Parish Priest, Father Thomas Crowley, moving in and living there until 1936. He was followed by Father J Wallace, who lived there until around 1943.

Today, the residence retains all of its charming, turn-of-the-century features, including fireplaces, timber flooring, portico, verandah, high ceilings, architraves and skirtings. The four-bedroom home has been brought lovingly up-to-date without losing an ounce of its heritage charm and character. A rear extension is sympathetic to the original home and boasts a pot-belly stove and views out to the backyard.

Occupying an enviable position on a leafy, sought-after street, 7 Mary St is in the heart of Highgate and on the Mount Lawley and Northbridge fringes. The famed Mary St Bakery is on your doorstep, while Perth's best cafés, restaurants and amenities are a short walk away. Hyde Park is a mere stroll down Mary Street and the CBD is also within easy walking distance.

Zoned R50, 7 Mary St sits on a 427 sqm green-titled block with ROW access via Kaadadjiny Lane. Freshly painted and exuding heritage warmth and charm, this home is just waiting for the next chapter of its story.
