What we love..A picture-perfect weatherboard cottage on a pretty Subiaco street. Unlatch the gate of the white picket fence enveloping the home and revel in the terracotta-tiled verandah, ornate iron lacework and stunning lead light glass. Linger a while on what will become one of your favourite spaces to 'be'.An enchanted rear garden awaits. A high recycled brick wall encloses an automated carport via rear laneway with air-conditioned 'out house' featuring storage/workshop space and a 'flexible room' with floating floorboards - office/exercise studio or entertaining space? You choose. Attractive latticework separates the carport/workshop from the verdant garden with mature trees, twisting vines, hedging, limestone garden beds and a winding brick-paved path and staircase leading to the picturesque decked patio with pitched roof. French windows and doors provide a hint of what's going in the kitchen and beckon revellers indoors... eventually!Brimming with authentic period features: wide floorboards, soaring ceilings, archways and corbeling, ceiling roses, sash windows with plantation shutters, ornate fireplaces, decorative cornicing, pendant and chandelier lighting, and timber and brass switches.
