298 Bagot Road, Subiaco, WA 6008

Step beyond the charming façade and prepare to be transported, this enchanting 3 bedroom 2 bathroom haven is a tale of two eras, where timeless character at the front gracefully gives way to a breathtaking, light-filled modern extension at the rear.

It's a journey through time you can actually live in, with stunning contrasts, quality materials and a brilliant north-facing orientation combining to create a home that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

As you move through the residence, the transformation unfolds beautifully, from warm, classic features to soaring contemporary spaces bathed in natural light, designed for effortless living and entertaining. It's a seamless fusion of old and new that doesn't just work, it wows.

Cleverly capitalising on the block's natural slope, the residence also reveals a hidden bonus below, secure parking and added practicality without compromising its striking street presence. A gated staircase leads down to a huge carpeted second family room/bonus room that can be whatever you want it to be (transform into a games, theatre, gym or home office) and boasts audio speakers, built-in storage and shelving, a Luisina sink and a potential study nook (or multi-person workstation) with a bench.

Internal shopper's entry to what can also be utilised as the ideal teenager's retreat is via a secure remote-controlled double lock-up garage-come-laundry, complete with high ceilings, an indoor clothesline, a side-access door and tranquil rear access from a private laneway in between Raphael and Denis Streets. In front of the garage roller door lies a patch of easy-care artificial turf, doubling as an extra parallel parking space. There is also a double concrete wash trough out back, as well as a pin-code side-access gate leading all the way down to the securely-gated front entry yard.

There, a shaded, and surprisingly-private, garden with a delightful lime tree is splendidly overlooked by an expansive front sitting verandah and its striking leadlight door and feature panelling. The front of the house is dominated by soaring high ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, decorative ceiling roses and cornicing, picture rails and tall feature skirting boards, all of the details that help preserve its original nostalgia of yesteryear.

A spacious front master suite is the pick of the bedrooms with its ceiling fan, front-garden views to wake up to, six generous doors of fitted built-in wardrobes and a light and bright ensuite bathroom that oozes style - complete with sky windows for natural illumination, pendant lights, a concrete vanity top, a decked walk-in rain/hose shower and a toilet.

Double cavity sliders reveal a large main bathroom down the hallway, featuring its own skylight, an open rain/hose shower, a free-standing oval bathtub, a toilet, hidden storage and more. It services the two spare bedrooms that are both hidden behind double doors. Graced by an eye-catching chandelier, the second bedroom adjacent to the master would make for the perfect nursery or home office, whilst the third bedroom has a ceiling fan.

The hub of the layout is massive and consists of an open-plan kitchen and dining area, overlooked by an elevated living room with two ceiling fans, a feature gas fireplace and a custom media wall and shelving. Polished concrete floors and full-height glazing add quality touches, with the culinary haven of a kitchen itself playing host to an island breakfast bar with a single sink, integrated double sinks, a Zip tap, a Pitt integrated three-burner gas cooktop, a stainless-steel under-bench Smeg oven, a stainless-steel Miele dishwasher and an integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer combination.

It all, via sliding-stacker doors, seamlessly extends outdoors to a sublime north-facing alfresco-entertaining area with its own concrete flooring, a ceiling fan, an open wood fireplace for the winter and a built-in second kitchen, with an Artusi gas barbecue, a sink and a must-have Artusi drinks fridge that will no doubt keep your guests content.

All of this, right in the vibrant heart of Subiaco - a location as dynamic and desirable as the home itself. Across the road lie the Subi Early Leaning Centre, the Subi Farmers Market and Subiaco Primary School, with the Subiaco Arts Centre, the Subiaco Theatre Gardens, terrific medical and educational facilities, bus stops, shopping at Farmer Jack's and Subiaco Train Station all only walking distance away, as well. The likes of restaurants, cafes, bars and other lush local parklands are also nearby, for living convenience.

What a renaissance - and what a story to come home to!
