HERBERT and Sherbert gaze meditatively across Royal Street, their colourful-metallic bovine presence guarding entry to this delightful East Perth dwelling.
“If I was buying this home I’d be wanting them to stay,” I thought as I took in the raised terrace frontage and the lovely park next door.
It was a short introduction as wild weather blew me straight into the formal lounge, a lovely light-filled space even on a grey day, thanks to huge windows on two sides, one overlooking the rich, green, rain-drenched park.
“TV and radio reception must be pretty good,” I thought, gazing across the parkland to the ABC’s swanky Perth HQ.
Lovely golden-timber floors glow in the lounge, before morphing into white tiles in the open plan living/dining/kitchen, where there are even more windows.
The artistic use of solid blocks of gun-metal grey on a some walls amplifies the crispness of the many white ones.
a great chance for a slice of very stylish living…
The spacious kitchen has plenty of cupboards and soft-close drawers in a honey-gold timber, and beautiful black and white granite tops.
The generous living area overlooks parkland and the pleasant artificial “creek” that threads its way down to Claisebrook Cove, burbling past many great cafes and restaurants.
Follow the path as it wends its way under overpasses and you can cross East Perth without crossing a single road.
And when the gang drops in for lunch on the generous balcony on the weekend, finish up with a pleasant stroll for a coffee or a pint.
The three bedrooms of this 244sqm property are upstairs, one with a street-facing balcony, while the spacious main bedroom, and its generous balcony, overlook the park.
The stylish ensuite has double vanities, separate bath and shower, and a separate toilet.
Head down to the basement and you’ll find a cavernous double garage and spacious laundry. There’s plenty of storage space inside, and even undercroft parking for visitors.
A short CAT bus ride from the CBD, or a pleasant stroll to rolling parkland down to the river in the other direction, close to shops and cafes this is a great chance for a slice of very stylish living.
But sadly you’ll have to find your own cows, the vendors are herding them up when they leave.
