Homes of this calibre are seldom on the market, and with limited opportunities in this tightly held suburb, early inspection is strongly recommended.Stepping onto the elevated front verandah, there's an instant sense of calm. Morning light catches the original Jarrah doorframe, the painted Jarrah floors glow softly underfoot, and the whole home feels settled, grounded and quietly elegant. It's the sort of atmosphere you rarely find anymore-warm, gentle, and created with genuine respect for what was already here.This 1930s Art Deco residence hasn't been "renovated" in the usual WA sense. It has been protected. Thoughtfully restored with the discipline usually seen in European conservation homes, it keeps everything that matters: ceiling roses, cornices, leadlight, original Deco fireplace tiles, cold-brick construction, and Jarrah joinery. Rather than stripping the house back and replacing it with short-life finishes, the restoration honours nearly a century of architectural history and brings it forward with grace.Each era remains visible and appreciated:- 1930s Art Deco - decorative ceilings, leadlight, fireplace tiles- 1950s-60s Australian modernism -rear extension with geometric ceiling lines- 1970s textured stucco - now finished in a refined French Linen palette- Contemporary European styling - velvet-over-voile drapery, brass-and-timber details, natural fabricsInstead of blending these differences away, the home celebrates them. It feels curated, calm, and deeply authentic.Light is one of its strongest qualities.The living areas receive beautiful Eastern morning sun, the north side stays naturally bright through the day, and the west bedrooms fall into warm afternoon light. As the light shifts, so does the mood of the home. The effect is soft, cinematic and immediately comforting.The living room-part of the mid-century extension-has been transformed into an inviting, sunlit space. Soft linens, creams, timber tones and French drapery create an understated atmosphere where the hand-detailed Jarrah floors and tri-era fireplace can truly be appreciated.The kitchen carries a European, apartment-style charm with solid Jarrah cabinetry, breathable white finishes, ceramic farmhouse sink, Cornish-blue tiles, brass hardware, Kleenmaid steam oven & oven, brand new induction cooktop and QuadWash dishwasher. It is tactile & practical.Four generous bedrooms sit within the original 1930s wing, each maintaining its proportions, ceiling detail, velvet-and-voile drapery and bespoke pendant lighting. Every room feels restful and grounded.Bathrooms are split between eras: the original retains its authentic 1930s layout, while the 2nd bathroom and laundry bring in terrazzo-style tiles, brushed-gold tapware, non-toxic finishes and a frameless shower-simple, clean and elegant.Outside, the courtyard is private, peaceful and ready to be shaped into a Mediterranean, evergreen or sculptural garden. Morning light falls beautifully across the eastern side, while the north-facing zone offers potential for herbs, citrus or vertical planting. Two sheds, a reinforced wall for outdoor cooking and a discreet drying rack add practicality.Sustainability is built into the fabric of this home. The cold-brick construction provides natural thermal mass, original Jarrah windows & doors were repaired rather than replaced, and the decision to preserve rather than demolish significantly reduces embodied-carbon waste. This is a long-life home, not a trend-led one.Zoned R60, the property offers rare long-term value in an increasingly tightly-held suburb:- boutique multi-storey residence (STCA)- architectural builds capturing northern light + possible city views from South Location is set in one of North Perth's most desirable lifestyle pockets, this home is just 200-700m from Hobart Deli, Kyilla Primary, Kyilla Farmers Market, Angove Street cafes, childcare, and public transport.
