Creative vision and hard work are needed to restore this home, but high ceilings, decorative cornices and jarrah floorboards give you a great starting point. The original floorplan is arranged with a wide living zone across the front with large south-facing windows onto the park opposite. A central kitchen with access to the backyard, is little changed and desperate for a makeover, as are both bathrooms.

There is ample scope here to create an impressive home with delightful original features. Perhaps a more straight forward option is to begin again from the ground up making the most of this sought-after location and building a modern home with a leafy outlook, excellent access to restaurants, Curtin University and the Perth CBD.
