THE DEAL
484 Charles Street brings together the character you hope to find in North Perth with the kind of extension that completely changes how the home lives.
The original residence holds onto all the right details polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, decorative plasterwork, feature fireplace and beautifully proportioned rooms. There's warmth and personality here, but nothing feels stuck in the past. A soft, neutral palette keeps things current, while flexible front rooms give you space for bedrooms, a home office or somewhere to retreat.
The rear of the home opens into a substantial kitchen, living and dining zone, where exposed brick, stone surfaces and parquetry-style flooring give the extension its own identity while still connecting naturally with the original home.
At its centre, the kitchen is made for real life. An oversized island, farmhouse sink, generous storage and plenty of preparation space put everything where it should be, while the adjoining living area is anchored by a full-height brick fireplace with integrated gas fire.
Large glass doors pull the outside in, connecting directly to a covered alfresco with its own outdoor kitchen and enough room to properly entertain. Beyond that, there's lawn, established greenery and genuine outdoor space without signing yourself up for a second job maintaining it.
And behind the character, there's plenty of substance. Double-glazed windows add another layer of comfort and efficiency, while 10kw solar panels with a 16kw battery make the home smarter to run. Dual access, including rear laneway access to the substantial garage, is another major advantage particularly this close to the city.
A generous secondary laundry and utility zone, excellent storage, multiple living and working spaces and air-conditioning round out a home that has been designed to work just as well as it looks.
Character at the front. Contemporary living at the back. And absolutely no need to choose between the two - with extensive renovations done recently, these include but aren't limited to ceiling restoration as well as installing insulation, air conditioning, lighting, painting as well as window treatments and furnishings. An installation of solar/battery as well as landscaped gardens have also been introduced to the property.
SEALS THE DEAL
From 484 Charles Street, you're positioned for the kind of inner-city lifestyle that makes this pocket so tightly held in the Kyilla Primary School catchment, with North Perth on your doorstep, close to the cafés, restaurants, walkable to weekly markets and everyday amenity of North Perth and Mount Hawthorn, with Leederville, Mount Lawley and the CBD all within easy reach.
