A Rare 1937 Character Home — First Time Offered in Nearly 40 Years

2 1 1

Authentic character. Timeless craftsmanship. A home with a story.

Rarely does a property come to market that offers this combination of genuine history, beautiful period features and a warm, inviting sense of home.
Built in 1937, this distinctive two-bedroom, one-bathroom ground-floor character unit is being offered for sale for the first time in nearly 40 years — an extraordinary opportunity for those who appreciate the beauty and individuality of a bygone era.

Set within a small boutique complex of just 12 residences, this is anything but a typical modern apartment. High ceilings, quality timber, period detailing and an abundance of natural character create a home with a personality all its own.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed American hemlock pine kitchen, complemented by elegant stone benchtops. Throughout the residence, freshly finished Jarrah floorboards bring warmth and richness, while the bathroom features solid Jarrah cabinetry and Federation-style tiling — thoughtful details that celebrate the home's heritage.

And then there is the fireplace…

The working open fireplace creates an irresistible focal point and brings a sense of warmth and romance that modern homes simply cannot replicate.

The generously proportioned main living space is enhanced by impressive 11-foot-high ceilings, adding to the feeling of space and grandeur. A large floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobe provides excellent storage, while reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort.

The second bedroom opens directly onto the veranda and a large paved, pet-friendly courtyard, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, entertaining friends or simply relaxing with a four-legged companion, this private outdoor space adds another dimension to the home.
