Step back in time and imagine the future at 5 Kalgoorlie Street. This 1938-built classic presents a rare opportunity to secure a slice of history in one of Mount Hawthorns' most tightly held pockets. With its commanding character frontage and timeless street appeal, this home is more than just a property, it's a project of passion waiting for its next chapter.
From the moment you step onto the porch, the hallmarks of a golden era are on full display. Inside, soaring decorative ceilings, ornate leadlight windows, and picture rails create an atmosphere of elegance. The true magic lies just beneath the surface where pristine Jarrah floorboards sit waiting to be revealed and restored to their former glory. The traditional floor plan offers two generously sized bedrooms off a central hallway, leading to a formal lounge that serves as the heart of the home, complete with its original fireplace.
The retro kitchen and adjacent sleep-out provide the ideal footprint for a modern architectural extension. Whether you choose to restore the vintage charm or create a contemporary masterpiece, the 468sqm block provides the space and versatility to bring your vision to life. A detached rear studio offers additional flexibility, perfect for a quiet home office, art space, or teenage retreat.
