From the moment you arrive, the home’s timeless character is evident. A traditional front verandah sets the tone, while inside, polished jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, original skirting boards and picture rails celebrate the era. Decorative fireplaces anchor several rooms, and handmade Moroccan pendant light shades add a subtle layer of artistry and warmth, enhancing the home’s inviting atmosphere.

At the front of the home, a beautiful living room provides a cosy yet refined retreat. Built-in shelving wraps around the original fireplace, creating the perfect place for books. At the core of the home, a secondary sitting area sits at its heart, offering flexibility as a home office, reading room, or children’s play space, providing a valuable breakout zone for modern family life.

The dining area forms the social centre of the home, filled with natural light and framed by another decorative fireplace that adds warmth and character, whilst a decorative ceiling crowns the space. Adjacent, the modern kitchen is designed for everyday ease, equipped with an oven and gas stove, auxiliary Smeg gas hob, and Asko dishwasher, making cooking and entertaining effortless.

Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, offering flexibility for growing families. Two bedrooms sit within the original portion of the home, retaining the charm and proportions of the era, while two additional bedrooms face north, capturing beautiful natural light throughout the day. Two separate bathrooms provide everyday convenience, with one featuring a bath — ideal for families with young children.

Outside, the home opens to a beautifully reimagined backyard, designed for entertaining and relaxed outdoor living. The original rear yard has been completely transformed with honed concrete aggregate paving, fresh lawn, and mature trees including an olive tree, creating a leafy and inviting alfresco environment. The front yard is equally functional, featuring a generous two-car carport, established garden beds for privacy, and a cubby house for children to enjoy.

Positioned in the heart of Maylands, the home enjoys easy access to the vibrant local lifestyle the suburb is loved for. Nearby Whatley Crescent forms the centre of the neighbourhood’s café and dining scene, with favourites including Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop, Mrs S, Lyric’s Bar and The Seasonal Brewing Co., along with Commune Wine Store for curated bottles and relaxed neighbourhood drinks. The Swan River foreshore and a network of cycle trails are close by, perfect for weekend rides or commuting into the city, while Maylands Train Station nearby provides effortless access to the Perth CBD, the airport and beyond.
