This charming 1920's semi-detached cottage is located on a tree-lined street in a vibrant urban area, a short stroll to Mount Lawley and Perth's city centre. The renovation showcases a carefully considered approach, blending modern interior design with classic elements to create the perfect inner-city home.
The cottage preserves the charm of the original Federation style with many historic features retained, such as its characterful red brick exterior, tin roof, lofty ceilings, elegant hallways, and old-world detailing like graceful archways, architraves, stained glass front door, and ornate fireplaces. The front veranda steps onto a lush lawn lined with a classic picket fence, creating a welcoming entrance for visitors and providing an all-season outdoor living space.
Off the hallway is a spacious living room with high ceilings and twin sash windows that draw in fresh air and sunlight. A large original decorative fireplace and timber floors pay homage to the original fabric of the home.
At the end of the corridor, you'll discover the heart of the home - a recently renovated open, airy, modern kitchen and dining space. The elegant raked ceiling and rich timber floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The space is bright, white, and clean, with Shaker-style cabinetry providing a seamless look and plenty of above-counter and under-bench storage. A double sink with elegant chrome tapware sits beneath a generous French window, flooding the space with natural light and offering a leafy outlook. A new gas top stove sits where a fireplace once was. The split-system air conditioning ensures a comfortable climate all year round.
The main bedroom at the front of the house features a crisp white aesthetic, high ceilings, and timber floors. Twin sash windows flood the room with natural light and offer a lovely view of the garden. An original decorative fireplace with a generous mantle provides an ideal spot to display artwork and decor. Adjacent to this room is a second similarly sized bedroom, which boasts beautifully restored architraves and skirting. This space exudes elegance and calm, serving as the perfect canvas to add your own touches.
The bathroom is newly refurbished and accessed through sliding doors from the laundry. It features twin sinks, generous overhead mirrored cabinetry, and contemporary chrome taps and hardware. The luxe step-in shower is enclosed by glass, creating an open feel. Combined with white wall tiles and detailing, it makes for a bright and airy oasis.
Combining contemporary aesthetics with modern comforts and classical elements has created a warm and inviting home, serving as the perfectly located inner-city base. Stroll into Mount Lawley and Northbridge for an early dinner, or walk to a concert or game at HBF Park or RAC Arena. With public transport and top-notch lifestyle amenities, including cafes and gyms, on your doorstep, living your best life here is a breeze.
