Inside, the aesthetic is one of quiet luxury and cohesion. Oversized natural oak floorboards run throughout, complemented by grand colonial skirtings, ornate cornicing and detailed ceiling roses. Solid core doors with architectural hardware, custom architraves and new timber-framed windows reinforce the home’s craftsmanship, while a carefully curated palette of materials and finishes brings a sense of warmth and continuity to every space.

The central living domain is both elegant and inviting, anchored by a real flame gas fireplace and softened by considered lighting, including curated wall sconces and an art wall light. Steel and glass doors with matching Iver architectural hardware introduce a subtle contemporary edge, creating a sense of flow while allowing each space to remain defined. Comfort and functionality have been equally prioritised, with ducted air-conditioning featuring discreet lineal grilles and thoughtfully integrated electrical fittings ensuring effortless day-to-day living. The result is a series of interconnected rooms that feel intimate yet expansive, equally suited to quiet retreat or entertaining.

The kitchen is introduced through a custom marble archway, a striking architectural gesture that sets the tone for what lies beyond. Within, the space is sculptural in form and exceptional in finish, with custom cabinetry featuring colour-matched interiors and Linosian Sands marble extending seamlessly across the benchtops, splashback and floating shelf, softly illuminated by integrated LED lighting above and below. A suite of premium appliances — including Liebherr integrated refrigeration, Pitt gas burners, Qasair rangehood and AEG ovens — delivers both performance and precision, while an Oliveri Essente goose neck mixer and carefully considered lighting, including wall sconce and art light, complete a space that is as functional as it is refined.

The accommodation is equally considered, with each bedroom designed as a refined and functional retreat. Custom full-wall robes and drawer cabinetry is paired with bespoke window treatments — electric block-out blinds and inset Roman sheers seamlessly integrated within the timber frame windows. In the main suite, a custom faux fireplace with Linosian Sands marble hearth introduces a subtle focal point, adding a layer of warmth and character.

The bathroom is richly detailed and thoughtfully composed, centred around a custom floating vanity with marble top and underlighting, paired with dual in-mirror mixers and an oversized basin. A freestanding bath with floor-mounted spout and ambient lighting creates a sense of occasion, while a rain head shower and full wall mirror enhance both function and scale. Heated towel rails, integrated lighting and concealed services speak to the level of finish throughout. The separate toilet provides added convenience.

To the rear, the home opens to a private outdoor retreat designed for both ease and atmosphere. Millboard Limed Oak decking, natural stone cladding and white concrete create a layered material palette, softened by curated landscaping including a lemon tree and sculptural cactus garden. A neon “Flamingo Lounge” light introduces a playful edge, bringing personality to the space as day transitions to evening. Astro turf and low-maintenance planting ensure the setting remains functional year-round — an ideal backdrop for alfresco dining or relaxed entertaining.

The double garage offers rare protected on-site parking, and features a new Merlin motor with WiFi capability, secure access and two separate storage rooms. A custom external mural introduces a creative edge, adding a distinctive personality from the street.

Positioned within one of West Perth’s most connected pockets, the White House that balances lifestyle and convenience. Moments from the city, with easy access to Beatty Park, Robertson Park and a selection of local cafés, it offers a walkable lifestyle with Perth, Northbridge and Leederville all within easy reach. A true lock-and-leave opportunity with future potential under R80 zoning, this is inner-city living without compromise.
