YOU can search all you like for Green Cove in Mt Lawley but you won’t find it, as I discovered to my cost after mishearing the address. Fortunately the agent texted to confirm our appointment and in no time I was happily parked in Bream Cove, opposite Banks Reserve, a green delight right on the…

I’M hoping a film-star lifestyle is heading my way after my “starring” role in an infomercial about this East Perth apartment. Of course when the big bucks roll in I’ll be able to afford this four-bedroom/three-bathroom penthouse on the water’s edge. My role was accidental, having rocked up early for a home review to find…

I THOUGHT I was inured against the luxuriousness of dwellings around Claisebrook Cove in East Perth having seen many and happy to return to my modest abode. Then I stepped into the Mardalup apartments and my jaw dropped. The penthouse is reputed to be the biggest in Australia. My house and garden would fit easily into…

It’s hard to believe in an age of homes shoe-horned…

SHOPPERS flocked in when Perth’s first department store, Boan’s, opened in 1895, and by the end of its first day there wasn’t much left on the shelves. By 1912 the Boans brothers’ modest store had been replaced by a spiffing new building extending between Wellington and Murray Streets. And with so much stock, including bulky…

I LIKE the way Maylands’ streets are numbered—it’s so easy to find your way around. Having just crossed Eighth Avenue I knew I’d missed Seventh so it was easy to turn around and back-track to find this lovely old home Late federation meets early art deco in this grand old dame where a stunning kookaburra-theme stained…

THERE’S a mystery to this Grant Street, North Perth home and despite close scrutiny it remains a conundrum. Is the beautiful stained glass front door the original entry—or was its twin, which opens onto a rear verandah? The rear door looks original, down to the large, ornate doorknob and it’s odd to see stained glass…
