Welcome to Annita's House; a rare opportunity to own a heritage-inflected residence that blends thoughtful architecture, sustainable design and timeless style. This home is the result of a collaboration between Whispering Smith and New Resident, not a speculative build, but a carefully considered renovation that retains the soul of the original house while bringing it fully into the 21st century.
During the renovation, every decision was guided by longevity, comfort, sustainability and connection to nature. The result is a home that feels simultaneously grounded in its mid-century roots and refreshed for modern family living.
Spectacular north-east orientation allows the living, dining and kitchen areas to bask in natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and generous sliding bay windows offer a constant outlook to the garden, a space intentionally designed to feel like an extension of the home. A bespoke servery from the dining area opens directly into the garden, making entertaining and indoor-outdoor living effortless.
Inside, a timeless palette of pale brick, crisp white walls and marble surfaces complements the greenery visible through every window. The open-plan kitchen, with its marble and stainless benchtops provides the perfect setting for daily living and hosting alike.
Each of the four bedrooms includes built-in robes. The master suite, tucked away at the rear, opens onto a private courtyard through a sliding bay window - a tranquil retreat overlooking rescued grapevines and verdant landscaping.
Bathrooms embody understated luxury: full-height tiling, floating cabinetry, minimalistic fixtures, and in the ensuite, an operable skylight with rain sensor floods the space with natural light and fresh air creating a calming, spa-like sanctuary.
Sustainability, Comfort & Longevity - Built In:
Annita's House isn't just about looks. The home's double-glazed windows, quality ceiling insulation and ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning ensure thermal efficiency year-round. The 14-panel solar array (5 kW inverter, battery-ready) paired with a heat-pump hot water system makes it as energy-conscious as it is beautiful.
Waterwise landscaping preserves existing trees and vines while introducing low-maintenance native species - reducing water use and upkeep. Every detail from the reclaimed marble flooring, to the energy-efficient lighting and climate control has been chosen for durability, sustainability and timeless appeal.
Lifestyle & Location:
Nestled in the heart of North Perth, Annita's House offers a coveted lifestyle - leafy, relaxed, and still close to the action. You're within walking distance of Fitzgerald Street, Angove Street and William Street - brimming with cafés, eateries, boutiques and local culture. Hyde Park is just around the corner, perfect for weekend picnics, strolls or morning runs.
Public transport is easily accessible, with frequent services nearby. Top-tier schools are within reach, and the neighbourhood's vibrant community spirit makes this location highly sought after.
In short: this is more than just a house. It's a fully realised vision offering the charm of a 1960s home, the sophistication of contemporary design and the comfort and convenience of modern living.
