Rich in character and wonderfully individual, 22 Waverley Street is a substantial South Perth residence offering a rare combination of traditional charm, generous living spaces, an impressive master suite and a separate guest house, all centered around an outstanding resort-style entertaining area.

The home provides a wonderful succession of living spaces, with the master suite offering a private space with a walk in robe, a large ensuite with a walk in shower , huge double vanity and outdoor access to the side of the house. The master has a sense of separation from the remaining accommodation. A particular highlight is the rear reading room / living room with built in wall to wall book case and an extraordinary soaring pitched roof creates dramatic height and an uplifting sense of space.
The kitchen is practical and beautifully presented, with extensive cabinetry, generous stone bench tops, quality appliances and excellent storage. The laundry is conveniently located with loads of storage and bench space and a has WC. The adjoining living space opens naturally towards the home's spectacular outdoor domain.
