WAILS of protest turned to shouts of pure delight as Hyde Park’s water playground sprang back to life and half a dozen pre-schoolers frolicked and laughed under cooling fountains of water.
What better view could anyone want from their front garden and an elevated, street-facing verandah?
This four-bedroom home gazes across the leafy park and its shimmering lakes: It makes for one hell of a front yard.
The 1920s Vincent Street abode is a pure delight too from its classic white picket fence, mature, leafy gardens and stunning art deco architecture.
Jarrah floors and fireplaces abound, along with distinctively deco high ceilings, including the ornate one in the street-facing formal lounge room, with its French doors onto the verandah.
A rear extension seamlessly melds old with new in the huge open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, where you’ll find two gas “coal” fireplaces.
This is a gorgeous home in a fantastic location, with the Leederville, Beaufort and Fitzgerald Streets’ cafe strips close by and Perth a short bus ride away.
The spacious kitchen is a mix of timber cupboards and granite tops, with a double pantry and plenty of drawers.
A beautiful parquetry floor gives the living area, with its gorgeous carved timber and cast iron fireplace, an air of distinction and gentility.
Banks of white bifold French-style doors peel back bringing the outdoors in—or taking the indoors out, depending on your point of view.
The garden of this 458sqm property has been terraced in limestone to create outdoor “living rooms”, with gracious old trees for shade, and high walls for privacy.
The double garage, accessed off a rear lane, is topped by a studio bedroom, which would make a great teenage pad.
Mum and dad fare well too with a generous main bedroom, with lovely French doors to the patio, a bank of built-in wardrobes and ensuite.
This is a gorgeous home in a fantastic location, with the Leederville, Beaufort and Fitzgerald Streets’ cafe strips close by and Perth a short bus ride away.
And when the amazing Hyde Park fair is on in March you’ll be there.
