Near Rosalie Park and Kings Park and nestled behind a character home, this abode has a light, airy feel thanks in part to its white vaulted timber ceilings. The lounge and dining area has a cute window seat and French doors out to the garden.
A renovated kitchen with Caesarstone benchtops and a breakfast bar sits next to another living area. The bathrooms have also been renovated and there is a loft storage space off the second bedroom.
“As an entry point into Shenton Park for a 3×2 home at this price point, it is incredibly great value to get into such a premium street and location,” agent Ingrid Bradshaw says. “It’s perfect for singles or professional couples, empty-nesters, downsizers, people looking for a city base from the country, investors – it has appeal to a wide sector of buyers. It is difficult these days to find a single-level home that’s got character, that’s been renovated, for sub-$1 million in this area.”

This award-winning contemporary design, named the HIA Custom Built Home of 2014, has 584 square metres of living space. With an interior designer as owner, the home has plenty of wow factor, including a floating staircase in the foyer.
“This property is one of the nicest homes I have opened in the last 10 years,” agent Peter Robertson says. “The finishings and attention to detail have been carefully thought out and the flow of the house is exceptional. Everyone’s feedback over the first weekend was that it is a sensational home, just amazing, breathtaking, very clever layout with build and finishings to the highest quality.”
The open-plan living zone spills out to a poolside alfresco area with outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. The main suite, guest suite, office and gym are also on the ground floor, while two bedrooms upstairs have their own dressing rooms and studies.
The home is located close to Mount Lawley Golf Course and Edith Cowan University.
