88 Kimberley Street, West Leederville WA 6007

An early 20th century tuck-pointed brick classic has all the charms of jarrah floors, decorative ceiling details, high timber skirtings and intricate leaded windows, but the 21st century joys of light, space and more light make this home a perfect combination of historic warmth and dramatically clever new architecture.
With three living areas and separate sleeping zones upstairs and down, this is an ideally functional family home in an unbeatable location on the park and walking distance to schools, shopping, cafes and the train station.

Behind a white picket fence and across the return verandah, the front door opens to a high-ceilinged entry lobby and two original bedrooms, one overlooking the front garden and the other with a sleekly modern en-suite featuring a frameless glass rainshower, long vanity with engineered stone top and a clear window 'splashback' to let in the light. A spacious lounge room with picture rails and charming original timber windows leads to a study with a built-in desk and filled with northern light.

The jarrah floors continue into the striking extension, architecturally distinct from the character home but blending seamlessly, as recycled jarrah floors continue into the open-plan kitchen, living and dining.
Here it is all light, glass and space, with the bespoke storage found throughout the home including a wall of timber bookcases and drawers and a built-in study nook.
Clarity of design and functionality rule in the kitchen, with engineered stone island bench, Ilve cooktop, Neff oven and integrated fridge and dishwasher, while glass splashbacks add a touch of colour.
Cleverly placed louvres ensure cross ventilation and a wall of glass opens to the rear deck and courtyard, with built-in barbecue, timber seating and well-designed reticulated gardens.
The laundry includes an extra toilet, timber and white ceramic vanity and concealed flip-down ironing board.

Up the carpeted stairs is more light and space, where a large living room looks out to trees and sky, with storage concealed in timber seating, as well as a wall of cabinetry including a TV unit. There's a simply stylish bathroom with bath, and two light-filled bedrooms - each with built-in-robes and desk, and one with a big picture window overlooking the park.

This is the perfect place to settle in and enjoy family life in West Leederville, in a home that offers the rare combination of historic character and wonderfully functional 21st century design.
