THIS Mount Lawley home is reminiscent of a scene from the TV series Mad Men.

Maybe it’s the 1960s-style furniture and paintings, the textured ceiling, the wood panels in the kitchen, or the archway leading to the lounge.

Everywhere you look there seems to be a nod to the Swinging Sixties and you wouldn’t be surprised to see Peggy or Don Draper walk through the front door of this two bedroom one bathroom townhouse.

The carpeted lounge is bright and airy, and I like how the kitchen is semi-separate (there is an archway connecting the two rooms).

It creates a noise buffer if you are watching TV and don’t want to turn up the volume everytime the kettle is on.

The kitchen is going to be divisive – I love the retro 60s furniture and the natural grain finish on the cupboards and drawers, while others will crave a more contemporary look.

There’s plenty of natural light, courtesy of the window above the sink, which has nice views of the leafy back garden.

The two upstairs bedrooms are carpeted and have a nice colour scheme with white ceilings and grey-blue walls. It adds a bit of character without being idiosyncratic.

The main bedroom has two built-in robes and the second bedroom is double-sized.

They share a neat and tidy bathroom with a large shower cabinet and contemporary vanity.

There’s a spacious courtyard out the back and it’s a bit of a blank canvas, so plenty of scope to add potted plants, outdoor furniture and maybe even a patio to transform it into an all-year round entertaining spot.

There’s also a nice pergola at the front of the property.

The home includes a powder room (two WCs in total), laundry, study nook, air con, lots of storage and an undercover carport plus visitor parking nearby.

Situated in a quiet complex with only 16 townhouses on Sleaford Lane – with access from both Coode Street and Third Avenue – it’s walking distance to all the cafes, bars and restaurants on Beaufort Street and the Maylands Whatley Crescent/Eighth Avenue precinct.

It’s also in the catchment for Mount Lawley primary and high schools.
