Leadlight windows, gabled rooflines and terracotta roof tiles immediately signal the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Beautifully preserved, the 1940's residence retains the generous proportions and period detailing that define homes of its time, while considered contemporary updates allow the interior to function comfortably within a connected inner city lifestyle.
Inside, polished Jarrah floors extend beneath high ceilings detailed with ornate cornices, picture rails and ceiling roses. The original layout remains clearly expressed, with two well-proportioned bedrooms with robes and one with spilt system air conditioning, maintaining the expectations of modern-day comfort while respecting the scale typical of homes from this period.
The central hallway draws the home toward its rear living domain, where the floorplan opens into a generous open plan living and dining space. Northern light moves easily through this zone and French doors extend the room outward to the private alfresco deck. Positioned for everyday function and easy interaction with the surrounding living spaces, the stone kitchen features generous preparation areas, ample cabinetry and quality appliances, including a Miele oven and four-burner gas cooktop with integrated griddle.
Beyond the living space, the timber alfresco entertaining deck forms a natural outdoor extension to the home. Its northerly orientation captures consistent light throughout the day while surrounding greenery maintains privacy, culminating in a setting that feels quietly removed from the street.
This established pocket reflects the convenience of a connected inner city lifestyle alongside strong neighbourhood character. Parklands, the Kyilla Community Farmers Market and a collection of local cafes and restaurants contribute to the area's everyday appeal. The property sits within the popular Kyilla Primary School zone and is easily walkable to both the primary and Mount Lawley Senior High School, while public transport provides straightforward access to the Perth CBD.
