Some homes simply command attention. This one has done so since 1905.
Behind elegant wrought iron gates, this beautifully elevated Federation estate announces itself with quiet authority - original tuckpointed brickwork, classic leadlight at the front door, and proportions that belong to a classical manor house. On 741 square metres in Subiaco's coveted heritage precinct, this is one of Barker Road's great originals and one of the suburb's finest.
Step inside and the heritage credentials are immediate. Original jarrah flooring runs underfoot, ceiling roses crown generous rooms, and deep archways frame the passage between spaces. The first two bedrooms are large and gracious, each anchored by a fireplace and rich period detail. Through a decorative arch, a vast formal sitting room opens before you, floor-to-ceiling drapes in Italian Busatti fabric drawn across huge sash windows. It flows into a separate formal dining room, complete with library and fireplace - glamorous, intimate, considered, and a reminder that dedicated dining rooms are very much back in vogue.
The large, classical timber kitchen is both beautiful and efficient. A heritage ceiling dome and chandelier preside over marble benchtops and tiles, a cook-size Ilve gas oven, and handcrafted sheoak cabinetry paired with a solid timber island with built-in sink. Pressed metal ceilings and luxurious material choices make this a space that is both sophisticated and functional.
Accessed from the kitchen, a soaring loft catches blue skies and verdant treetops through skylights and triangular windows. A petite retreat with enormous charm, equally suited to a teenager's sanctuary, guest quarters, or an artist's studio.
Downstairs, a large informal living space opens to a large alfresco area - 100% linen Roman blinds, vast walls for significant artworks, and the kind of easy indoor-outdoor flow that makes daily life feel effortless. A large laundry and separate shower and toilet sit conveniently alongside. Behind a bookshelf in the informal living area, a staircase descends to one of the home's most delightful surprises - a hidden stone and brick wine cellar. Perfect for an extensive collection and the kind of evenings that go on a little longer than planned.
The master suite is a private world set apart from the rest of the home. The bedroom is enormous with double doors open to a landscaped courtyard, and the bed flanked by floor-to-ceiling leadlight windows dressed in Italian linen Roman blinds. In the ensuite, mosaic floors, marble benchtops, and a freestanding tub set a quietly luxurious tone, with bespoke paint colours chosen to offset the original leadlight throughout.
Outside, the entertaining area is made for long evenings and slow weekends. A wood-fired Italian pizza oven, a jacuzzi, and grapevines trailing overhead create an atmosphere that is unmistakably European - somewhere between a Subiaco garden and an Italian courtyard, with a spine of skylights drawing light across a large communal table below.
New decking wraps the generous verandas, making outdoor living a year-round proposition. Established trees, grapevines across the exterior walls, and a rear right-of-way gate with a generous double garage complete the picture.
Five minutes on foot to Rokeby Road and the best of Subiaco - a glass of wine at Cherubino City Cellar, a plate of tagliatelle at Lulu La Delizia, an espresso and croissant at Chez Jean-Claude, or a cocktail at Juanita's on a Friday evening. An easy walk to Kings Park and close to the Perth CBD. Bob Hawke College and Subiaco Primary School are nearby, with buses and trains within easy reach.
This is a home for families who love to entertain, professionals who value beauty and craft, and downsizers who refuse to compromise. Single-level living, with the master on the ground floor and wrap-around verandas drawing life outside, makes the day-to-day feel as effortless as the address deserves.
A Federation original. A European soul. A Subiaco icon.
