Holy land

The Voice loves the historic precinct tucked behind the Perth Mosque in the heart of the city.

One minute you’re in the hustle and bustle of William Street, then suddenly your walking down quiet, narrow streets and admiring quaint federation cottages with gorgeous tuckpointing, bullnose verandahs and chocolate-box gardens.

It’s like you’ve stumbled through a wormhole and emerged in a gorgeous parallel universe, before returning to the chaos of 2024 and the sight of a grubby car yard in the distance.

This two bedroom one bathroom abode is on the edge of that historic precinct on Church Street.

The rear garden literally backs onto Stuart Street Reserve, a lovely leafy park with mature trees and manicured grass.

It’s a super relaxing backdrop and the owners have no doubt spent ages in their alfresco, staring out at the treetops with a glass of vino, contemplating life.

The refurbished kitchen is spacious and modern with polished concrete floors, a stylish cooker and plenty of storage.

There’s heaps of space for a large dining table and lots of natural light streaming through the frosted glass on the back door. A swish light on the ceiling completes the pretty picture.

There’s a neat lounge with a period fireplace that could be restored to its former glory and become a focal point for the room.

The bathroom is a cute bijou which has been renovated to a high standard with frosted glass and a chic vanity.

This green-titled home is situated on a narrow 180sqm block, classic for its time, but it’s zoned mixed-use R80, so there’s potential to have four storeys with killers views of the park and city.

North-facing, it includes a large courtyard with external store and WC, and a single garage and three street parking permits.

The much-loved Parkside Coffee is just metres away (gold in the mornings on the way to work) and the home is in the catchment for Highgate Primary and Mt Lawley High schools. It’s also close to Robertson Park Tennis Centre and Hyde Park.

It’s currently leased at $550 a week until January 7 next year.

This is a glorious opportunity for an investor or for someone who wants to escape the chaos of the 21st century and pretend they are living in simpler times.
