Just imagine the changes this beautiful 1905 property, in one of Perth's most desirable locales, has seen over its 120 years. The intrinsic character of the home remains intact but has been sensitively restored to bring it into the 21st century—a tribute to the careful owners over the years.
The grand rooms, with their elaborate fireplaces, decorative cornices, deep skirtings, and sash windows, are the perfect foil for the renovated kitchen (which still includes the original Metters stove) and the expansive deck for alfresco entertaining and relaxing.
There are four rooms designated as bedrooms, a family bathroom, a delightful formal lounge, and an open-concept informal living/dining area. From the appealing façade, with its leadlight entry and return verandah, to the tranquil garden at the back, echoes of the Edwardian era are all around. However, what the original owners would make of the double glazing, gas hot water system, security doors and windows, and automatic reticulation remains to be seen. They also wouldn't have needed the ample parking via the R.O.W., with room for a boat or caravan.
In the days when “ladies could partake of afternoon tea at Mrs. Tomlinson's on Hay Street,” it would have been hard to imagine the designer shops and European outlets mingling with the exciting boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants of today's Subiaco. You are also in the intake zone for Subiaco Primary, Shenton College, Perth Modern, and the new state-of-the-art Bob Hawke College. Meanwhile, the transformation of Kings Park into a world-renowned destination reminds us that this is a truly exciting location that still maintains the beauty of its past.
