As you approach this home, you’ll immediately notice one of its most distinctive features: the rare, uniquely shaped 1970s bricks found only in a handful of original Orelia and Parmelia builds. These homes were constructed in a brief window of time before the early 80s… and very few remain today. Finding one intact — and on a generous block — is a true treat for lovers of period architecture.
While the home will benefit from some basic updates such as regrouting and repainting, it offers a foundation of exceptional craftsmanship and character that simply isn’t built anymore. For renovators or restoration enthusiasts, this is the perfect canvas: solid, spacious, and full of features worth bringing back to life.
A Grand Welcome
Step through the extra-wide double-door entry into a large formal foyer — an architectural detail rarely seen today. A cloak closet adds practicality, while the bifold Jarrah-and-glass doors lead into an expansive lounge and dining area.
The original fireplace, once a wood burner and later converted to gas, sits beneath a striking chimney on the home’s façade. The possibility to reinstate a wood fire adds huge appeal and warmth to the home’s already inviting layout.
A Kitchen That Lasts a Lifetime
The solid Jarrah galley kitchen is built to endure — a standout compared to modern laminated cabinetry. Whether you love the natural timber finish or prefer a painted refresh, this kitchen offers durability, charm, and endless potential.
The Block, Location & Lifestyle
Located on a spacious 716m² allotment, the property provides ample room for landscaping, extensions, or outdoor entertaining. The terraced garden, complete with fruit trees and rustic pathways, offers both character and opportunity for transformation.
Perfectly positioned for convenience, you're within walking distance to Orelia Primary School, Gilmore College, and have a bus stop right at your doorstep. Kwinana Train Station, and Kwinana freeway/Rockingham road is just minutes away for easy commute.
