78 Rookwood Street

Menora WA 6050

Standing proud in one of Menora's most admired streets, this deeply held c1922 Federation home has remained in the same family for almost a century, quietly shaping generations of memories behind its wide return verandah and solid brick faade. Set across a substantial 759 sqm (approx) allotment with a generous frontage and deep street setback, the setting carries a captivating sense of permanence and privacy, offering something increasingly difficult to find in such a prized neighbourhood.Original character is beautifully preserved throughout, from the high ceilings and leadlight windows to the hardwood detail and decorative fretwork lining the entry foyer. A formal lounge sits to the front of the home with broad proportions and a gas fireplace set within its red brick surround, while the main bedroom enjoys a corner garden outlook and an adjoining sunroom ideal as a study, nursery or dressing room. A second large bedroom reflects the same soaring ceilings, supported by a classic bathroom with shower over bath, with a third bedroom set along the extended rear hallway beside the laundry and second bathroom with separate WC.At the centre, the dining area flows into a dine-in kitchen updated in the 1980s, complete with ample bench space, a walk-in pantry and direct connection to the outdoor spaces. Beyond, a large gabled pergola opens to an impressively deep backyard, where fruit trees, lawn and established plantings create a peaceful, private outlook with room for future ideas such as an extension or pool, subject to approval. Carport parking, abundant storage and a walkable position near St Paul's Primary, Ron Stone and Hamer parks, cafs and transport, plus zoning for Mount Lawley Primary and Mount Lawley Senior High School, complete a treasured home that has been cherished for generations and is now ready for its next custodians.Features you will love: c1922 Federation home Solid brick construction Held by the same family for almost one hundred years Updated in the 1980s Largely original, yet immaculately presented Wide return verandah Recently repointed solid brick faade Formal front lounge with a gas fire Three bedrooms, two bathrooms Separate study Main bedroom with a sunroom/potential WIR High ceilings throughout Leadlight windows Decorative fretwork detailing Large dine-in kitchen with walk-in pantry Westinghouse oven Expansive gabled pergola over the entertainment zone Carport and ample driveway parking Established fruit trees Deep backyard with a garden shed Scope to renovate or refurbish to modern tastes (STCA) In the catchment for Mount Lawley Primary and Mount Lawley SHS Walk to St Paul's Primary, Ron Stone and Hamer parks Council rates are $2144.99pa Water Rates are $1,470.64paFor more information, contact Vanessa Mannion on 0493 715 553 or email vanessa.mannion@belleproperty.com
