THE HOME
There's something magical about living opposite a beautiful park, and at 97 View Terrace, Harry Grose Reserve feels almost like an extension of your own backyard. Nestled on a corner block with uninterrupted views across the greenery, this grand character residence is the kind of home where you can imagine children growing up with the park as their playground, slow mornings on the verandah watching the world go by and family and friends coming together for years to come.
Step onto the wraparound verandah and inside, and the character of the original 1920s home immediately comes to life. High ceilings, ornate cornices, leadlight windows and original jarrah floorboards create a warmth that simply can't be replicated, while the working fireplace in the front room makes it particularly inviting through winter. At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen brings a contemporary edge, with a large island bench, induction cooking, wall oven, double-drawer dishwasher and room for two full-size fridges. From here, the home opens into a sun-filled dining area wrapped in windows and French doors, a wonderful place for the family to gather.
The sheer scale of the home gives everyone somewhere to call their own. Upstairs, the master suite feels like a genuine retreat, with a beautiful bay of windows framing leafy parkland views and sunsets, French doors opening onto a private balcony, a walk-in robe and ensuite with a spa bath. Three additional bedrooms and another family living area with an additional bathroom complete the upper level, creating fantastic separation for children, teenagers or guests. Downstairs, another four bedrooms – including one currently used as a home office – and bathroom provide enormous flexibility for a large or multigenerational family, working from home, visiting relatives or simply having the luxury of extra space.
Outside, the home is every bit as suited to family life. The brick-paved courtyard, swimming pool and alfresco create a relaxed setting for long summer lunches, birthday parties and evenings with friends, while the established gardens provide a beautiful green backdrop. There's plenty of practical substance too, with a separate garage, undercroft storage, garden shed, whole-house water filtration, 5kW solar system, three-phase power to the garage, reticulation and extensive stainless-steel security screens. This is a home of genuine scale, character and versatility.
But perhaps what makes living here most memorable is everything happening beyond the front gate. Wake up to peaceful views across Harry Grose Reserve, watch the local wildlife come and go, let the kids run across to the park and become part of a neighbourhood where people still know one another and come together for local traditions like the much-loved Birdwood Circus Christmas party. Add the Swan River just moments away, and you have a family home that offers something increasingly difficult to find – space, character, nature and a genuine sense of community.
This isn't simply a big house – it's a home designed for a big life, with room for family, friends and all the memories still to come.
