61 Meriwa Street, Nedlands, WA 6009

There are some homes you walk into and immediately start imagining what you would do with them.

61 Meriwa Street is one of those homes.

Sitting pretty behind a private brick wall on 455sqm of land, this gorgeous character home is an absolute surprise package - beautiful original detailing, extraordinary living spaces and so much potential to take what is already here and make it something truly special.

From the street, she is as cute as they come. Tucked privately behind the wall, the home's original character immediately sets the tone.
Step inside and the detail gets even better.

A beautiful entrance foyer introduces ornate ceilings and ceiling roses, leadlight windows and French doors with leadlight inserts - all those wonderful details that give homes of this era their soul.

Beyond the French doors is an oversized formal lounge and dining room with timber floorboards, soaring decorative ceilings and a sense of scale that is increasingly difficult to find.

And then the house changes gear.

An addition to the rear, completed perhaps in the 1980's delivers an entirely different volume. Soaring ceilings punctuated by exposed beams create a huge second living and meals area, opening north to the courtyard and rear garden and connecting beautifully with the kitchen.

Two genuinely substantial living zones in a character home of this size is incredibly unusual. There is room to live comfortably exactly as it is, while the existing footprint and northern rear aspect provide enormous scope for someone with vision to take the home to another level.

Accommodation includes three bedrooms. The generous main bedroom sits privately at the front of the home with built-in robes and its own ensuite, while two further bedrooms are positioned off the central hallway and serviced by a combined bathroom and laundry.

Perfectly positioned at the city end of Nedlands, this is an incredibly convenient base for anyone working in the CBD, at the nearby hospitals or UWA. Public transport is virtually on the doorstep, while the evolving Nedlands Town Centre and its growing collection of amenities are moments away.

It is character without compromise on living space, land without an overwhelming amount of maintenance and a location that connects you effortlessly to the city and the very best of Nedlands.
