38/177 Oxford Street

Leederville WA 6007

The 4 townhouses in this enviably located Oxford Lane development are all that remain of the original Mechanics Institute which dates back to 1908. This is the largest of the 4 townhouses in this uniquely located group, another two of which still have the original owners, a testament to the value placed in these properties by those who have been lucky enough to acquire one.
The 2 bed, 2 bath, 3 WC townhouse features 2 large private courtyards (front and back) and has 2 side-by-side secure covered parking bays - a rarity in this day and age for a property of this type.
Located in the beating heart of Perth's most desirable dining & entertainment hub, within the secure & beautifully manicured grounds of Oxford Lane you would hardly know you were in the centre of Leederville until you step onto the streets.

My reluctant Sellers have had to find a larger home to accommodate their growing family's needs but had this to say of their fond years in Oxford Lane
'We have loved living in such a vibrant neighbourhood - great cafes, restaurants & bars, excellent public transport, including the train & free CAT bus to the city, as well as being jogging/cycling distance to the CBD.
Lake Monger & Britannia Reserve are both a stone's throw away. Kings Park isn't much further. We referred to the IGA across the road as 'the pantry' and it was so convenient being open 24/7. The courtyard in the complex is like a 'secret garden' - you don't know it's there from the outside and it's a lovely place to chill out and listen to the bubbling fountain. The pool is great too - all the enjoyment but none of the hassle and maintenance of looking after it.nIf this sounds like the lifestyle you have been craving then I invite you to register your interest in this unique piece of cutting-edge history today.
