10 Wilberforce Street

Mount Hawthorn WA 6016

Meet Wilber House a masterful synthesis of heritage character and contemporary architectural expression, where a century-old residence has been meticulously reimagined with clarity and restraint. Set along one of Mount Hawthorns leafy, designated character streets, this circa 1920s home has undergone a refined 2024 transformation by ZARQ Architecture & Interior Design, emerging as a secure, design-led sanctuary that honours its original fabric while introducing a sophisticated spatial reconfiguration. Generous proportions, preserved period detailing and a cohesive palette of curated materials are complemented by an expansive open-plan layout, where natural light and seamless transitions enhance flow and liveability. Large-format openings dissolve the threshold between interior and exterior, revealing a landscaped, low-maintenance garden and poolside entertaining domain framed by considered planting and architectural hardscaping. Above, a private upper-level retreat offers a calm, self-contained escape, reinforcing the homes layered functionality. Positioned within a coveted inner-city pocket, Wilber House exemplifies the art of adaptive reuse, where enduring character is elevated through thoughtful, contemporary design.THE HOME 4 bedroom2 bathroomFamily / dining / kitchenLounge / sitting roomLaundryPowder roomAlfresco / carportSwimming poolStoreroom3 wcInterwar home built in the early 1920s (approx.)Renovations completed in 2024 (approx.)
