Overview

ARCHITECTURAL IMPACT

Situated on one of Leederville's most coveted and scenic streets, this beautifully reimagined circa 1910 residence harmoniously blends timeless character with advanced sustainability features. The home underwent extensive renovation and architectural extension in 2017, resulting in a stunning four-bedroom, two-bathroom property that offers a unique combination of heritage charm, modern innovation, and versatile family living. The property is set on a 453 square meter block with rear right-of-way access and secure double parking.

The classic wide bullnose veranda welcomes you into a home that respects its early 1900s origins with soaring ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and original jarrah flooring. The architecturally striking vaulted extension introduces burnished concrete floors, highlight windows, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. At the heart of the home is a state-of-the-art kitchen featuring an oversized Caesarstone concrete island, premium Siemens appliances, a concealed office nook, and a spacious butler's pantry with ample storage. Triple-glazed doors open to a Victorian Ash-lined alfresco area equipped with a built-in BBQ, fridge, and sink, all overlooking a solar-heated magnesium concrete swimming pool and a generous entertaining space.

The accommodation is both spacious and adaptable, comprising four bedrooms with the potential for a fifth bedroom or additional living area, ideal for growing families or those working from home. The master suite is elegantly appointed with a walk-in robe and a designer ensuite showcasing statement tiling and a triple-glazed skylight. The family bathroom is luxurious, featuring cement tiles, a freestanding soaker bath, and a concrete vanity, highlighting the home's meticulous attention to detail.

Structurally and performance-wise, the home has been comprehensively upgraded. The roof was entirely replaced, chimneys reconstructed, the subfloor removed and rebuilt, stumps replaced, and limestone footings reinforced with concrete. Imported Finnish triple-glazed windows provide exceptional thermal performance, while the solar passive design of the extension achieves an impressive 9.4-star energy rating. Additional comfort and efficiency are provided by a full solar panel system, gas hydronic boiler heating, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, whole-house water filtration, and a reverse osmosis drinking water system.

Additional highlights include a self-contained studio above the garage completed in 2023, an extraordinary underground cellar with garage access, a large insulated attic storage space, fully reticulated gardens with raised vegetable beds, and a security system featuring CCTV and intercom entry to the fully fenced front yard.

Conveniently located within walking distance to parks, cafes, restaurants, shops, public transport, and the vibrant Oxford Street precinct, and within the catchment area for West Leederville Primary School and Bob Hawke College, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of architectural distinction, sustainability, and lifestyle excellence in one of Perth's most sought-after inner-city suburbs.
