Stepping through the leadlight-framed entrance, the modest origins of this pre-war cottage give way to an expansive and soulful family home. It is a residence where history and contemporary living meet; rustic elements like exposed wooden beams and Jarrah floors honour the past, while the floor plan has been thoughtfully reconfigured to invite space and versatility. The result is a home that feels both grounded in heritage and perfectly tuned for the discerning, modern family.
Built across two levels, four bedrooms and three bathrooms are zoned to balance communal connection with private retreat. While the ground floor serves as an entertainer's dream with its expansive open-plan layout, the sleeping quarters offer genuine sanctuary. Two oversized front bedrooms enjoy a picturesque outlook over the leafy streetscape, while the inclusion of a ground-floor ensuite provides the perfect solution for guests or multi-generational living. Character meets modern utility here, with built-in storage and a classic gas fireplace adding both style and warmth.
The upper level is dedicated to rest and productivity, anchored by a master suite that serves as a true parents' retreat. Featuring a generous walk-in robe and a decorative tiled ensuite with double vanities, it is a space defined by light and seclusion. The private balcony offers a peaceful vantage point over the gardens below - the perfect setting for a quiet morning coffee. This floor also hosts a versatile fourth bedroom and a cleverly integrated landing that functions as a home office, complete with built-in desks and ample storage for those who work from home. Three separate air conditioning zones allow for climate comfort between all spaces.
Set for effortless entertaining, the central open-plan living, kitchen and dining zone offers flexibility for the modern homeowner. The chef-ready kitchen features an Abey Solaire double-bay sink, Westinghouse oven, gas cooktop, and a Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher. Wooden framed french doors offer a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living and offer an outlook to the rear deck and pool.
132 Richmond offers an immersive outdoor experience, where a decked alfresco overlooks the resort-style in-ground pool. Framed by a Balinese-inspired gazebo and lush, established greenery, this private sanctuary feels worlds away from the urban hustle. It is the perfect setting for summer soirées or quiet weekend relaxation, offering a level of tranquility that is truly rare for inner-city Leederville.
An additional third bathroom enhances the home's functionality, where the character continues through intricate tiling and a traditional clawfoot bath. Thoughtful inclusions such as hidden under-stair storage and a dedicated laundry storage room ensure practical needs are met, further elevating everyday living.
Positioned just meters from the iconic Oxford Street, 132 Richmond places you at the epicentre of one of Perth's best cultural and culinary landscapes. Start your mornings with world-class coffee, source legendary fresh produce from The Re Store, or enjoy Italian lunches at Mister Focaccia.
