Fall in love at first sight with this superb heritage home in an incredible location, with lovingly tended gardens.

From the moment you approach the whitewashed exterior of this beautifully restored, character-filled cottage, you’ll be calling it home.

Picture yourself sitting on the decked front verandah, enjoying the peaceful courtyard and the tranquillity of the scented garden.

Step through the stained-glass front door and know you’ve found your forever home, with its original period features, solid timber flooring, high ceilings and original fireplace in one of the three stunning bedrooms.

At the heart of the home is the spacious living area, overlooked by the superb and fully renovated kitchen, with butler’s sink, freestanding oven, dishwasher and masses of storage. A home office is tucked away off the living area, which also boasts a log-burning fire. Yes, it’s easy to picture yourself living here!

Bifold doors seamlessly connect the interior to the exterior, with a gorgeous, sun-filled and beautifully landscaped back garden beckoning you outside.

Truthfully, the gardens alone are enough to win you over. In the front garden is a laurus nobilis – known for its bay leaves – as well as a prolific fruiting olive tree. On the right is a Chinese jasmine, currently in flower with a lovely perfume. The climbing rose is the romantic Pierre De Ronsard – also a lovely perfume.
The other tree is a white magnolia – always planted in an Asian garden for prosperity. The border is Japanese box – easy to grow and maintain.

In the back garden you’ll find three fruiting citrus trees – Tahitian lime, lemon and blood orange – along with two types of fig trees. There is also a curry leaf tree next to the tall, native frangipani. The largest tree is a form of Chinese chestnut, which provides magnificent shade all summer before taking on the autumnal leaf colours of red and orange. When the leaves finally drop, it allows the winter sun to come in and keep the back room sunny before the spring leaves arrive.

Tucked away on leafy Carr St in West Perth, this stunning property boasts easy, convenient access to Leederville, Northbridge and Mt Lawley – and all the parks, cafés, restaurants, boutiques and amenities that go along with these suburbs. Plus, you’re at the very heart of West Perth, with super-easy access to the CBD.
