108 Barker Road

Subiaco WA 6008

Cosy, quaint abundant gardens and hedges belie the amplitude within, and guarantee privacy and seclusion; country cottage comforts in great proportions are offered on a grander scale.
Attention to detail evoked by it's origins in the early 1900's is manifest in ceiling medallions, dangling light fixtures, soaring ceilings, high skirting boards, variously detailed cornices, gloriously maintained jarrah wide floor boards which give a luxe feel with their warm rich colours, and numerous fireplaces abound with a diversity of tiled hearths and mirrored mantlepieces create the comfortable atmosphere of a friendly welcoming residence.
Sunshine pours in through the fabulous featured leadlight throughout; and, one wonders, was the former owner a Sea Captain, with his own leadlight port hole? The raised eyebrow of arches welcomes you down an extensive corridor of drama. Love love love the raised dais of a private vined patio and verandah surround, while oozing graciousness continues to flow out the French doors, a buffer zone of calm before the bountiful garden beds beneath.
It's utterly expansively cosy, beautifully maintained, and appears as if it contains great stories of great people, demanding upright behaviour and demeanour in its hallowed halls.
Utterly charming.
And, as they say, "But wait, there's more!"
A second equally charming (currently tenanted) residence (circa 1950) also presents with four more bedrooms, offering an overflow of period features with a nod to the main residence.
These are houses that are ready to welcome warm loving families, comfort them, care for them, guard them, wrap them in a big hug, and a sense of security and serenity.
Also utterly charming. Love them, need them, want them, let them both engulf you.
Such attention to detail, a respectful nod to a bygone era, wholesomeness, familial spaces for sharing activities, rare enormous rooms allowing for congregating and community, expansive grounds for entertaining and sports, light, bright, cheery surroundings. These are residences that make a house a home.
From a practical point of view, there's sufficient grounds to add on extras, should they be required.

LIFE IN SUBIACO:
You've got a small-town feel adjacent to the CBD, that is incredibly walkable. You will only use your car when leaving Subi! Countless cafes, shops, transportation hubs, parks and schools, it's almost impossible to find a metropolitan suburb that offers such a vast array of amenity right on your doorstep. With the addition of Subiaco One helping to revitalise the Rokeby Road precinct, Subi is returning to her former glory in a few months...so you'd better get in quickly before this property and all it offers are long gone. Additionally, with the new Subi East Development within walking distance (located at the site of the Former Princess Margaret Hospital). Even more amenity provides an exiting array of cafes and restaurants, as well as more parks and playgrounds. In addition, with the nearby Subiaco Oval site and Mueller Park, you will be spoilt for choice. Last but not least, within a few minutes drive you have Perth CBD and Kings Park on your doorstep. This decision should be an easy one.
