40 Ferguson Street

Maylands WA 6051

Built circa 1914, 40 Ferguson is one of only a few brick homes on a street originally established to house workers from the local foundry. While most were simple weatherboard cottages, this residence was built for the foundry's accountant - a mark of its elevated status and enduring quality. Recently renovated, it retains its historic character while embracing contemporary living, offering the chance to become part of a story more than a century in the making.SPOTLIGHT/ Built circa 1914/ Green title 556 sqm block/ Rear laneway access/ Tuckpointed brick facade and bullnose verandah/ Renovated kitchen and bathrooms, built by Louis Homes/ High ceilings and well preserved internal character features/ Exposed brick feature walls/ Solar panels/ Hitachi refrigerated ducted air-conditioning/ Ilve electric oven with gas stove/ Siemens integrated dishwasher/ Chambord farmhouse sink/ Open gas fireplace to living room/ Landscaped rear gardens and reticulation off the bore/ Powered rear double garage and workshop space/ Walking distance to Meltham train stationWith its tuck pointed brick facade and bullnose verandah hidden behind a secure, gated entry, this unassuming frontage reveals a spacious and well appointed residence, blending turn of the century Federation style and modern comfort.
