Beyond the turned-post veranda and leadlight-framed entry, 20 Windsor Street maintains its Federation integrity through original jarrah floors, high ceilings and classic turn-of-the-century features. The home transitions through a traditional archway into a rear extension, where exposed structural beams and an open plan layoutanchored by a central cast-iron fireplacecreate a sequence of connected, functional living spaces.
Four well-proportioned bedrooms branch off a traditional central corridor, with the primary bedroom featuring a split-system air conditioner. This layout offers the flexibility to divide the sleeping quarters from the rest of the home, creating a welcome separation between the bedrooms and the main living areas.
The rear of the home opens into an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. The kitchen features a freestanding oven and cooktop, with a repurposed fireplace now serving as a clever pantry for additional storage. Decorative tiling and large sash windows add character to the space while providing a leafy outlook to the backyard and established garden. A cast-iron fireplace is coupled with a split system air conditioner to ensure year-round comfort. The main bathroom features an inset bath and separate shower, paired with a detached powder room for added functionality.
The rear courtyard offers a private, low-maintenance escape, featuring raised brick garden beds and established greenery, contrasting the home's inner-city location. Shaded by a mature canopy, this area provides an ideal backdrop for alfresco dining and quiet evenings.
Situated less than 500 metres from East Perth Station, this home sits perfectly on the edge of the city's metropolitan heart. From watching the soccer at HBF Park or the cricket at Optus Stadium a drink at The Brisbane or a stroll to the thriving Beaufort Street strip, everything is within reach. Character at its core, 20 Windsor Street is a front-row seat to the very best of Perth's inner-city culture.
