An impressive residence of scale, lineage and architectural conviction, Lourdes has remained a defining presence in Mount Lawley since 1911, its Federation Arts and Crafts form carefully brought forward into the present through a renovation measured against the strength of the original design.
The facade holds your attention with a broad verandah featuring intricate timber detailing, leadlight, and a defining bay window, which speaks to the craftsmanship of the period, each element resolved with clarity and purpose. It is timeless architecture that still reads as intended.
Inside, the proportions are immediately apparent. Soaring ceilings carry ornate cornices and ceiling detail across a sequence of rooms connected by archways and framed by picture rails, while richly toned jarrah timber floors ground the interiors. Designer wallpaper and chandelier lighting introduce a contemporary layer, sitting comfortably alongside leadlight and stained glass windows and doors that have been meticulously preserved.
The original layout has been preserved in a way that gives the home much of its character, with separate living and dining rooms reinforcing the formality and proportion of the era. Bedrooms are generous in both scale and presence, each appointed with robes and many retaining original fireplaces. The main suite includes an ensuite and walk-in robe, while the secondary bathrooms are finished with floor to ceiling tiling and quality fittings, resolved with a material consistency that respects the home's broader palette.
A custom kitchen remains distinct within the floorplan, comprehensively appointed with stone surfaces, quality appliances and extensive cabinetry, delivering contemporary function while allowing the surrounding architecture and original room separation to remain front of mind.
At the rear, a covered alfresco courtyard spans the width of the home, introducing a private outdoor domain that supports both everyday use and larger gatherings. Sheltered and tranquil, it extends the living experience without altering the integrity of the original plan.
Privately positioned beyond the main residence, the fully self-contained studio introduces a rare level of independence. With its own kitchenette, double bedroom, separate bathroom and private access, it accommodates extended family, guests or multigenerational living with complete independence.
Established gardens frame the residence with a softness that contrasts the precision of the architecture. Layered, mature and fully reticulated, they complete the setting without drawing focus.
Set within one of Mount Lawley's most established streets, moments from quality schools, Hyde Park and the cafe and dining culture of Beaufort Street, the setting carries the same sense of longevity as the home itself.
