This delightful turn-of-last-century federation semi-detached home sits proudly at the end of the street in this quiet cul-de-sac location, where you are only minutes away from a quick breakfast or a long lunch at the Arrival Hall, or dinner at Meet You There, close to the Leederville entertainment precinct and a healthy stint at the Beatty Park Aquatic Centre.

Wrought iron fencing frames the striking façade, highlighted by the veranda with classic turn-posts and colonial flyscreen door. Enter through the stunning oregan 2-panel coloured-leadlight front door and be welcomed by the turn of the century period features including jarrah floorboards, traditional 12-foot ceilings, picture rails, central archway, original moulded skirting boards and architraves.

While the spacious primary bedroom sits at the front of the home and enjoys street-front views, the roomy secondary bedroom, sits next along the hallway, with both rooms again featuring the polished jarrah floorboards, attractive wood-style venetian blinds, high ceilings with ceiling fans and both bedrooms having the luxury of enough space to add an extra dresser or lounge chair or small desk.

Meander further down to the end of the hallway and the home opens into the welcoming feel of the family room with reverse cycle air conditioning, ceiling fan and the central fireplace with cast-iron insert framed by the decorative wooden mantlepiece and sitting on the original tiled hearth.

The family room leads to the cosy cottage kitchen and dining area, flooded with natural light and with 5 burner gas cooktop and oven and overhead rangehood nestled in the original kitchen arch, double bowl sink, feature tiled splash-back and plenty of room for a large two door fridge.

At the rear of the home, you will enjoy the convenience of the renovated bathroom with single vanity, new toilet and glass framed shower.

When the time comes to entertain outdoors or to simply sit in the warm sun and enjoy a cup of coffee with friends, you will appreciate the spacious 46 sqm rear courtyard area, punctuated by the attractive central orange tree and garden beds.
At the very rear of the courtyard rests the exterior combined separate laundry and storage room.

Situated within the CBD free transit zone, the cottage is only a 20 minute walk to Perth’s CBD. It’s close to the bustling Northbridge nightlife and over the festival period a 5 minutes walk to the Fringe Festival’s Pleasure Garden and in the other direction, the popular arts hub – The Pickle District. A short drive will get you to the great restaurants and shopping district of Angove Street – as well as Beaufort and Oxford St café strips.

This delightful home is surrounded by a number of sporting facilities and parks and is in the inclusion zone for Highgate Primary and Mt Lawley High School with easily accessible bus routes and the Leederville train station also within reach. Future development of Sydney Charles Quarter on Newcastle Street promises to add value and some great new bars and venues for entertainment.

For those looking for something different with the desire to add their own personal touches to make this home their own, this substantial classic residence offers a unique living situation with a lock up and leave life-style amongst the charm of a bygone era.
