Colonial character jam-packed into 1930s era Mount Lawley masterpiece

Nestled in one of Perth’s best pockets, this circa 1930s Californian bungalow is tucked away in a quiet Mount Lawley cul-de-sac, making it a perfect family residence.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom split-level property at 44 Woodroyd Street has retained its colonial charm despite extensions and renovations to its kitchen and outdoor area.

“It’s a beautiful whisper quiet location,” selling agent Danielle Geagea from Zsa Zsa Property said. 

“You have got a beautifully large landholding of 946sqm, and you are in really good company there with incredible houses in that street and that immediate location.

“And I think it’s one of the best parts of Mt Lawley to be in.”

A Belling cooktop, marble benchtops, and a large island bench take centre stage in the substantially renovated kitchen, while the sprawling alfresco area has a gazebo, two outdoor dining spaces, and lush gardens.

Ms Geagea said the home was ideal for a family of all ages.

“It’s obviously got wonderful amenities. It’s got the gazebo – it is set up really beautifully for entertaining.

“But it’s also got a really large grassed area, so if you have got kids and want space for them to be able to play, that’s perfectly set up for them as well.”

Other features include a large cellar underneath the home, a formal dining space, two living areas, and a two-car garage, plus a driveway which fits about five vehicles.

“To be honest, that is a rarity for Mt Lawley – it’s not common you can park seven vehicles,’ Ms Geagea said.

The well-maintained property’s unique architecture set it apart from other homes in the area, she said.

“You have got a combination of the Californian bungalow at the street, and at the back of the rear you’ve got this beautiful sort of colonial structure. 

“But it actually has quite a significant elevation to it, so it’s got quite a beautiful presence to it. So, I just think it’s a really charming home.” 

The property is priced in the mid-$2 million range.
