Steeped in history yet perfectly attuned to modern living, this circa 1940s character cottage is a warm and inviting retreat, seamlessly extended to offer generous bedrooms, expansive living spaces, and an entertainer's backyard. Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street, just steps from Whatley Crescent and Maylands Train Station, it strikes the perfect balance between suburban tranquillity and urban convenience-a place where every day feels effortlessly easy.
Tucked behind mature greenery and a white picket fence, the elevated facade exudes charm, blending heritage warmth with understated elegance. A timeless mix of render, recycled brick paving, and oversized sash windows with original detailed security screens creates an instantly welcoming first impression, while the cosy front verandah invites you to pause, breathe, and soak in the serenity.
Step inside and you're transported to a place where old-world beauty meets contemporary comfort. Soaring decorative ceilings, antique light fittings, rich jarrah floorboards, and intricate timber detailing set the stage for a home filled with warmth and character. Thoughtfully designed, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence offers a secluded lounge and private sleeping quarters at the front, while the vibrant open-plan living zone at the rear flows seamlessly into the stunning backyard.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is a showpiece of modern design, seamlessly connecting family life and entertaining. The chef's kitchen is finished with sleek white engineered stone benchtops, gloss cabinetry, and a striking glass splashback, creating a space that is beautiful, timeless, and functional. Expansive glazing floods the area with natural light, while direct access to the alfresco enhances the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Step outside into your own private oasis. A decked alfresco with a soaring pitched ceiling extends seamlessly from the home, overlooking the lush lawn and sparkling below-ground pool, framed by glass balustrading and limestone paving. Enjoy poolside relaxation with an elevated view of the gardens, while the standalone gazebo offers a shady retreat for all-day comfort.
For those moments of quiet retreat, the central lounge provides a haven of relaxation, featuring an elegant chandelier, classic sash window, and a character-rich fireplace with intricate tessellated tiling. Enclosed by a stunning leadlight doorway, it's a space that invites you to slow down and savour the home's quiet charm.
All three bedrooms are generously sized, each designed for comfort and tranquillity, fitted with venetian blinds, blackout curtains, built-in robes, and ceiling fans. The family bathroom echoes classic elegance, with black and white checkerboard flooring, white subway tiles, double vanities, a standalone bath, and a double walk-in shower.
Perfectly positioned among Maylands' best offerings, this home places you within easy reach of vibrant cafes, riverside parklands, and essential conveniences. A short stroll takes you to Maylands Train Station, ensuring an easy commute to the CBD and airport, while the eclectic energy of Whatley Crescent's dining and bar scene is just moments away.
