  • Cool townhouse 

       THE outside of this Mt Lawley home has a distinctly English air and reminds me of a townhouse in deepest Hampstead. It’s probably the red brickwork and overhanging roof coupled with the lush trees and bushes flanking the driveway.  But the inside of this three bedroom two bathroom home is decidedly modern Australian with…

  • Central stunner  

    The Voice has reviewed some heritage stunners in Mt Lawley over the years, but this could be the best yet. A charming three bedroom two bathroom property, it has a wealth of period features including soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, timber architraves and beautiful ceiling panels. There’s gorgeous natural wood throughout with the warm hue of…

  • Rental ripper  

    A lot of city centre apartments have a clinical feel with not much personality, but this two bedroom number on Adelaide Terrace feels very welcoming. The lovely floorboards in the open plan lounge and natural wood in the kitchen create a very homely feel. This is enhanced by the warm earthy tones on the rugs,…

  • Historic home

      IF you like historic buildings with plenty of style, you’ll love this 1930s Parkside property in Mt Lawley. Situated opposite Hyde Park, the facade is a real jaw-dropper wth lovely arches and plenty of architectural gusto. The WA Heritage Council were impressed too: “Parkside is an exemplar of the Interwar Mediterranean style of flats,…

  • The Entertainer 

    IF you want an apartment with cracking views and a snazzy kitchen, this could be the one. The glossy, bright red cupboard doors in the u-shaped kitchen are sure to be an instant talking point when people come to visit. In the wrong hands it could be garish or a bit naff, but it contrasts…

  • Exotic charm

       PROPERTIES like this don’t come on the market very often. Situated on a whopping 1600sqm block overlooking the Swan River in Maylands, this home really is a bit special. The massive first floor balcony is a joy to behold – it overlooks Baigup Wetlands with lush vegetation in all directions and the blue river…

  • Killer views

    THIS Perth penthouse has an amazing wraparound-balcony that is bigger than most apartments. It’s so big, the 12-seater table out there looks tiny with seemingly acres of space around it. The views aren’t too bad either with stunning panoramas of the Swan River, Kings Park, Elizabeth Quay and beyond. With about 212sqm of space, an…

  • Picture perfect 

    THE Voice has reviewed a lot of homes over the years, but the formal lounge in this Bayswater property really took our breath away. It has a bevy of classic features – vintage fireplace, leadlight windows, ornate cornicing, ceiling medallions – and was perfectly furnished with a flamboyant twist. That came courtesy of the period…

  •  Cool home

    LET’S face it, some pools are a waste of time. If they’re not a decent size they become an expensive hole in the ground that doesn’t get much use and eventually becomes a neglected eyesore. No such problems at this three bedroom one bathroom Dianella home, which has a cracking pool in the backyard with…
