Please Call For Details
A proud display of South Perth's historic grandeur, this is a home filled with character and possibility. Designed by prominent WA architect JHO Hargrave, the architecture is iconic – faithful to the splendour of the 1930s Inter-War Old English style. As for location, this is superb: minutes from the CBD, prestigious schools, Perth Zoo, the Royal Perth Golf Club and the river foreshore, with the lifestyle cafes and shops of Angelo Street an easy stroll away.
Fronting the quiet, no-through end of Onslow Street with the bonus of dual access, a prime corner position adds to its presence, surrounded by lawn, roses, frangipani, hedging and more. There's no mistaking the Tudor inspiration: gabled rooflines, leadlight casement windows and decorative half-timbering, with that sense of grandeur continuing inside.
Interiors in buttercream and white feature rich jarrah detailing throughout, with a generous foyer leading into the formal living room, complete with a garden-view bay window and proud fireplace. A formal dining room, or study, sits alongside, with its own fireplace and north-facing porch access to Karoo Street.
The master suite with a modern ensuite and formal dining room span the hallway, while a built-in scullery lines the rear passageway, opposite the chequer-tiled kitchen.
Formerly comprising a maid's quarters and service porch to the rear – now a canvas of possibility – the laundry/bathroom with separate toilet has also been incorporated. Outside, a sheltered alfresco flows into private gardens, with access to the double garage nearby.
Upstairs reveals three more bedrooms, two with robes and one with a fireplace, while the original verandah has been enclosed to form a kitchen with bathroom adjacent. There's also a separate sitting area or additional study, direct attic access and plenty of built-in storage.
Immaculately preserved for decades, simple interior updates have evolved alongside its history, with plenty of scope to make it your own – and such solid bones to work with.
In a peaceful pocket once defined by its stately residences for dignitaries and wealthy merchants, this home stands as a testament to what can be once again – truly one of a kind.
