Set in manicured gardens behind picturesque white picket fencing on gloriously leafy, tree-lined Holyrood St – a quintessential 1920's workers cottage; and a beautiful renovated and extended residence in the heart of cosmopolitan West Leederville. The epitome of laidback Australian living, this captivating family home is delightful blend of old and new, full of warmth, charm and contemporary style.
Original character and authenticity meld perfectly with modern features – high ceilings, sash windows, wide skirtings, deep architraves, beautiful jarrah floors and original fireplaces sit easily alongside contemporary kitchen, bathroom and open plan living and entertaining spaces.
Beautiful cottage gardens and a wide verandah at the front provide the loveliest setting in which to watch the world go by. Inside, a long traditional hallway opens to 3 family bedrooms and a generous family living room with stunning pressed tin ceiling and gas fireplace set in a jarrah mantle.
Beyond, soaring cathedral ceilings and vast highlight windows spiral glorious natural light into expansive open plan family dining and kitchen areas designed to capture gorgeous leafy garden views. There's a modern family bathroom with timber paneling, clawfoot bath, vanity, WC and shower, single bedroom and study/office. A sleek new kitchen features banks of white cabinetry topped with pale Caesarstone and dove grey textured subway tile splashbacks, integrated dishwasher, oven, gas cooktop and plenty of prep and storage space.
Timber framed glass doors open to a private decked alfresco, perfect for year round entertaining. There's an adjacent laundry and shower room with WC, plenty of lawn for the kids to play, landscaped gardens and a boardwalk leading to a large studio at the rear. Previously used by an architect, with high ceilings and vast windows on 3 sides providing an abundance of natural light, the open plan design with kitchenette, WC, reverse cycle a/c and alfresco deck would be a superb home office, granny flat, teenage retreat, dance, yoga or art studio.
Additional features include sealed ROW access to 2 secure carports, ducted air conditioning and security system.
Ideally situated just moments from a host of buzzing restaurants, bars and coffee shops, and walking distance to Leederville and West Leederville train stations, Oxford St, Rokeby Road, West Leederville Primary School, the new Subiaco Senior School and opposite Holyrood Park.
