SOLD BY ZAC WATTS & NADIA COVINO.
So thoroughly restored and extended that the join between old and new all but disappears, this Prospect bungalow saves its biggest reveals for later - up to five bedrooms, parking for twelve cars behind secure electric gates, and a parcel in excess of 1,003sqm to spread them all across.
Once home to the mayor, it holds one of the suburb's most coveted addresses - a premier pocket within walking distance of Prospect's cultured strip with a direct bus connection right into the heart of the nearby city.
Character runs deep behind the idyllic facade. Stained glass casts jewel-toned light across Jarrah floorboards and solid cedar accents hint at the quality of a full remodel, all underpinned and repointed under a meticulous restoration process.
The home's grand original rooms - four bedrooms - or three plus a home office - and formal lounge, are each footnoted by an ornamental fireplace, equally generous in proportion and character. None wears its age more handsomely than the formal lounge, where stained glass meets decorative ceilings reaching well above 3-metres.
The primary bedroom breaks away entirely, trading the original rooms' formality for soft carpets, sheer curtains and built-in robes, all leading to a fully tiled ensuite with a marble-topped vanity scaled to match the grandeur it leaves behind.
The extension carries the same sense of gravity, Jarrah hardwood floors and high ceilings matching its period counterpart. The granite-topped kitchen creates a feature of its own, fitted with Smeg appliances, extensive shaker cabinetry, and overlooking both open-plan living and dining large enough to gather the whole extended family at once.
French doors spill onto a timber deck that echoes the generosity of the interior, sheltered beneath a pitched verandah built for entertaining through every season. Established Manchurian pears, pencil pines and an olive tree wrap the garden in privacy, with ample lawn still left over for play, games of cricket, or a future pool (STCC).
Garaging is a feature in its own right, with space for seven undercover and five more off-street, all locked safely behind secure electric sliding gates.
Step outside and Prospect's cosmopolitan pulse picks up almost instantly - though from inside, you'd never guess it was so close. Brunch at Fratelli's, a hit of tennis at Barker Gardens before dinner at Rosemont Hall and a film at Palace Nova - all just a tree-lined stroll from home.
A home with an evolution almost as storied as its premier Prospect pocket - cherished for over three decades, and only now ready for another family to make it their own.
