Some homes feel busy the moment you step inside. This one feels settled. Polished jarrah floors guide you through a wide entry hall, doors open easily to the garden, and the sea breeze finds its way in without being invited. There is a sense of ease here, a home that has been lived in and loved, just moments from the coast.
Where It All Happens
Set on a generous 781m² block in a quiet pocket of Waikiki, 12 Blakey Street sits within easy walking distance of one of Perth's most beautiful beaches. Everyday conveniences are close by, including schools, shops, cafes, and transport, yet the home remains private and calm, framed by established gardens that soften the street and create a true sense of retreat.
The Details That Matter
Offering 191m² of internal living, this character home blends original detailing with thoughtful updates that support modern living. A dedicated entry hallway leads into the main living and dining space, where timber French doors open onto a wraparound deck, encouraging natural light, airflow, and easy movement between inside and out.
The kitchen has been upgraded with care, retaining the home's warmth while adding practical features including engineered stone benchtops, an induction cooktop, dishwasher, soft closing cabinetry, and a ceramic double bowl sink with a peaceful garden outlook. It is a space designed for conversation as much as cooking.
Three generous bedrooms sit along the main corridor, all with built-in wardrobes and easy-care jarrah flooring. The master suite is privately positioned at the rear of the home and includes its own ensuite along with direct access to the verandah, offering a quiet retreat from the rest of the house. The main bathroom continues the home's original character with period tapware, a glass-enclosed shower, and a claw foot bath that invites you to slow down at the end of the day.
Year-round comfort is taken care of with evaporative air conditioning, ducted heating, insulation, and solar panels to help manage energy costs without compromising comfort.
Outside, the rear of the property is designed for relaxed living rather than show. A covered gabled patio creates a natural gathering space, overlooking a lawn framed by established garden beds and a swimming pool that becomes part of daily life through the warmer months. Secure caravan or boat hardstand parking with rear access, along with a double garage, adds practicality without intruding on the home's charm.
Who It's Made For
This home will appeal to families wanting space and a relaxed coastal rhythm, buyers who appreciate the warmth and individuality of older homes, and those seeking a lifestyle that values comfort, connection, and longevity. It is equally suited to upsizers or downsizers who want character without sacrificing function.
The Bottom Line
12 Blakey Street is a home that doesn't need to impress loudly. Its appeal is in how it lives day to day, from quiet mornings on the verandah to evenings that drift between indoors and out. With space, soul, and the beach close enough to feel part of everyday life, this is a home that settles in with you and stays.
