IF this home was human, it would be a quaint old charming man who just had a facelift.
That all translates to a renovated two bedroom one bathroom cottage with its own free-standing studio in Mt Lawley.
A mix of sparkly new and vintage, it will appeal to a creative couple, an artist or people who like a cottage with lots of character.

The Voice loves the beautiful cornicing and high ceilings in the lounge.
There’s a nice brick fireplace and mantel, with an old electric heater taking centre stage.
It’s a quirky touch and I’m not sure if it generates much heat, but it certainly looks cool and is a talking point.

The renovation is on full show in the kitchen, which has sleek white cabinets and drawers and a cute two-seater breakfast bar-cum-serving hatch.
The bathroom has been nicely renovated too, featuring a contemporary shower and stylish vanity, with the long mirror enhancing the sense of space.
There’s lovely period touches sprinkled throughout this home, including the decorative metal frames on the windows.

The backyard is a blank canvas. There’s some nice privacy and shade from the mature leafy trees, but you could easily add a patio, splash pool, BBQ and pizza oven.
It could be a lovely area, especially with summer about to hit.
The surprise package is the studio at the front of the property – a cool 3m x 6m space to indulge your hobbies or use as a separate home office/consulting room. There’s also an alfresco area out the front.

The home includes a large laundry, two WCs in total and a car bay.
Situated on Monmouth Street, between the Mount Lawley and North Perth precincts, it’s close to all the bars, cafes and restaurants on Beaufort Street, and not far from Hyde Park and Mt Lawley Bowling Club.
