Quietly nestled behind a privacy wall, this captivating inner-city residence reveals itself as a sanctuary of character, creativity and architectural intent - a home where heritage charm is reinterpreted through a distinctly contemporary lens.
Positioned steps from Hyde Park and Chu Bakery, this rare free-standing c.1915 Federation cottage has been thoughtfully evolved beyond its origins. Rich in soul and layered with texture, the home celebrates its past through a traditional floor plan enhanced by original jarrah floors, exposed brickwork and preserved period detailing - all seamlessly balanced by modern updates and premium cabinetry designed for today's lifestyle.
Perfectly positioned in one of Perth's most family-sought pockets, the home sits within immediate reach of Highgate Primary School - a rare and highly prized advantage for those seeking walking distance to schooling without compromising on lifestyle.
The internal living unfolds with an unexpected sense of openness. A series of interconnected zones - including formal dining, relaxed living and a sunken lounge - create both intimacy and flexibility, allowing the home to adapt effortlessly to entertaining or quiet retreat. At its centre, an updated contemporary kitchen anchors the space with understated sophistication, offering both functionality and visual connection to the living domain. Need extra space? The loft storage takes care of that.
Beyond, a leafy outdoor sanctuary complete with outdoor shower awaits - a private setting for long evenings, weekend gatherings or simply unwinding in complete seclusion.
Yet it is the architect-designed studio that elevates this offering into something truly exceptional...
Designed by Robeson Architects, the elevated bespoke studio sits above an integrated carport, forming a bold and juxtaposing architectural statement. Defined by clean lines, jarrah cladding and purposeful design including an ensuite, this versatile space offers endless possibilities - a luxurious bedroom retreat, executive home office, creative studio or private guest accommodation. It is both a functional extension and a design feature in its own right.
Set on its own entirely free-standing 253sqm green title allotment including laneway-accessed garage door carport parking, 197 Lincoln St and its unique studio offers a rare level of independence in this highly sought-after urban pocket.
This is a residence that defies expectation - discreet from the street, yet rich in personality, flexibility and architectural presence within.
