THE DEAL
Circa 1928 and thoughtfully renovated and extended, this character home offers a refined balance of period detail, contemporary functionality and the easy rhythm of everyday life. Set within Inglewood's sought-after Avenues, it retains the warmth, proportions and individuality that make character homes so appealing, while a considered extension brings the space and practicality expected of a modern home. Across a generous layout are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated study and a series of living spaces that feel both connected and distinctly their own.
From the moment you step inside, the home has a warmth that is difficult to replicate. Timber floors run through the main living areas, complemented by plantation shutters, a restrained neutral palette and original details that give the home its own identity. At the front, the second bedroom or formal lounge is anchored by a vintage fireplace, creating an intimate space to retreat to, while the separate living and dining area provides a more generous setting for entertaining. At the centre of it all, the kitchen combines everyday practicality with a nod to the home's history, featuring an original Metters stove alongside quality modern appliances. Reverse-cycle air conditioning to the kitchen and ducted cooling throughout provide comfort across the seasons.
One of the home's most considered additions is found at the rear, where a newly converted study creates a genuinely useful space without compromising the bedroom accommodation. Opening directly onto the rear patio, it can function as a quiet home office, creative studio or private retreat depending on how you choose to use it. It is the kind of addition that becomes increasingly valuable once you live with it, particularly for those who work from home or simply appreciate having a dedicated space away from the main living areas.
The three bedrooms are generous in proportion, complemented by two bathrooms and a layout that offers flexibility. The connections to the outdoors make the transition from inside to out feel natural. At the rear, landscaped gardens and composite decking create a private setting for morning coffee, long lunches or evenings spent entertaining, with very little maintenance required to keep it looking its best.
Then there is the location. Positioned within the Avenues, you are an easy walk from the cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday conveniences of Beaufort Street, while Maylands Train Station provides straightforward access to the city and beyond. The home is also within the Inglewood Primary School and Mount Lawley Senior High School catchments, adding another layer of practicality to an already well-connected address.
SEALS THE DEAL
A home with genuine character, thoughtful improvements and the space to live comfortably today, without losing sight of what made it special in the first place. Add the Avenues address and the best of Beaufort Street within easy reach, and you have a home that feels considered from front to back, and distinctly Inglewood.
