THE RESIDENCE
The signature red door. Fluted opaque glass, natural light, and a secret garden waiting on the other side. You push it open, step onto the elevated verandah, take in the green below, then push through the timber gate and stop two doors down at West End Deli; the best flat white on the street and something good from the cabinet, right on your way. This is the daily rhythm that 99 Carr Street makes possible, and once you've felt it, no other property ever competes.
Built circa 1910 and brilliantly extended in 2002, this Federation terrace is a rare green title freehold in the heart of one of Perth's most in-demand inner-city suburbs. Green title means you own the land and everything on it outright: no strata committee, no by-laws, no one telling you what to do with your own home. Behind a limestone boundary wall on 259m², it is entirely and completely yours.
Inside, 3.5-metre ceilings run from the original heritage rooms through to the contemporary extension without interruption, just a seamless architectural move that unites jarrah floors, original ceiling roses and ornamental fireplaces with an open-plan kitchen, dining and alfresco zone built for the way people actually live now. A living room with a working gas fireplace opens directly to the kitchen and out through multiple bi-fold doors to a sheltered alfresco. Clerestory windows pull light deep into the plan. The whole thing flows like a perfect weekend should.
The bathroom is not a bathroom. It is a custom-built soaking tub of seemingly swimming-pool proportions (just kidding!)… the kind of thing that makes a hard Wednesday disappear entirely. It is the centrepiece of a large, considered bathroom that was designed for serious decompression, not just a quick shower before work.
Off the rear laneway, a massive double lock-up garage with approximately 3.5m high ceilings (can fit a large rig!) with dedicated storage solves inner-city living's one persistent problem. Bikes, boards, gear, the car, etc…SECURED.
THE LOCALE
Carr Street sits at a genuinely rare intersection of heritage character and inner-city energy. West End Deli at number 95 (two doors from your front gate) is one of Perth's most enduring neighbourhood institutions: café, bakery and dinner destination in one. The CBD is a five-minute commute. Leederville and Northbridge are close enough to walk home from on a Friday night.
A short walk away, the Pickle District, West Perth's emerging creative and arts precinct, is undergoing a landmark transformation. The $107 million Sydney Charles Quarter urban village is approved and underway on Newcastle Street: a design-led mixed-use precinct of hotels, restaurants, retail, co-working and public space, built around The Commons, a dedicated outdoor social hub. It is exactly the kind of neighbourhood infrastructure that defines a precinct for a generation, and it is arriving right on your doorstep. For a buyer who chose inner-city living for its energy and texture, this matters enormously.
Beatty Park Leisure Centre is walkable. The free CAT bus connects the CBD in minutes. City West Station is close, as is Leederville Station. This is a location that gives you your mornings back.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Two generous bedrooms with original heritage detail including picture rails and ceiling roses throughout. A warm living room anchored by a working gas fireplace that opens directly to the kitchen and alfresco. Soaring 3.5m ceilings running the full length of the home. Glowing jarrah hardwood floors through the original section. Ornamental fireplaces in the principal rooms. Two bathrooms, including a large contemporary bathroom with a custom-built oversized soaking tub of near swimming-pool scale. Open-plan kitchen and dining with clerestory windows flooding the space in natural light. Multiple bi-fold doors to the private alfresco. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning/heating, split into the main living areas and/or the two bedrooms. Green title freehold on 259m² (approx.) own the land, own the lot, answer to no one. Double lock-up garage with additional storage off the rear laneway. 5.5kw west-facing solar panels.
OUTDOORS & MORE:
A beautifully established and private secret garden behind a limestone boundary wall. A wide elveated verandah built for Saturday morning coffee and Sunday afternoon wine. A private, sheltered alfresco reached through bi-fold doors from the kitchen and living zone. Rear laneway access to a massive double lock-up garage with a dedicated storage room; a genuine rarity in the inner-city terrace market that will not be taken for granted after the first week.
WHAT'S THE AREA LIKE?
West Perth is one of Perth's most compelling inner-city addresses, and it is getting more interesting by the year. The neighbourhood has long attracted professionals in their late twenties and thirties who want to live within reach of the city without giving up character, green space or a genuine sense of place.
Over 56% of residents hold a university degree. The median age is 35. This is a suburb that chose itself, and the people who live here know exactly why they do. Stock in the area is extraordinarily tight.. houses sit on market for an average of just 10 days.
