274 Nicholson Road Subiaco, WA 6008

Some homes simply steal your heart from the very first glance - and this enchanting 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom century-old character charmer is one of them.

Beautifully blending timeless circa-1920s appeal with thoughtful modern updates where they matter most, this gorgeous haven delivers all the warmth, personality and soul you could hope for, on a delightful block with the added bonus of tranquil laneway access.

High ceilings, jarrah floorboards, decorative ceiling roses, picture rails and tall feature skirting boards are commonplace throughout, beyond a gated front-yard entrance where a large and pleasant verandah doubles as a lovely place to sit and relax, overlooking the lawn and an exquisite garden olive tree.

A generous front master bedroom boasts six doors of full-height built-in wardrobes, as well as a split-system air-conditioning unit and a feature corner fireplace. The central second and third bedrooms sit opposite a spacious front living room with a split-system air-conditioner and corner fireplace of its own - as well as double French doors that flow out onto the entry verandah.

The separate open-plan dining and kitchen area has been cleverly revamped to include a stainless-steel range hood, a large standalone stainless-steel five-burner gas-cooktop and oven combination, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher, a microwave recess and subway-tile splashbacks.

A professionally renovated bathroom off here impressively plays host to high angled ceilings, a stone-vanity basin, under-bench storage, mirrored cabinetry, a toilet, a walk-in rain shower and a separate free-standing bathtub. Also off the kitchen, an updated laundry features contemporary floor tiles, louvred windows for cross-flow ventilation, a double linen press, under-bench cupboards and a powder room.

Both the laundry and dining spaces open out to a private rear outdoor patio deck, with an undercover clothesline. It all overlooks a terrific north-facing backyard with lawn, a corner garden shed and stunning frangipani gardens, as well as a sunken courtyard for further entertaining - or even a trampoline or spa, if you are that way inclined.

A large single lock-up garage, accessed from the rear laneway and fitted with a brand-new roller door, provides secure parking and convenient direct access to the backyard. Additional street parking is also available along Nicholson Road.

Immerse yourself in the very best of Subiaco living, where daily essentials and some of the area's favourite lifestyle destinations are all within easy walking distance. Start your morning with a coffee from The Little Pantry, shop locally at Coles or The Good Grocer in Shenton Park, and spend Saturday mornings browsing the fresh produce and gourmet offerings at the much-loved Subi Farmers Market. The boutique shops, acclaimed cafes and vibrant dining scene of Rokeby Road are also nearby, while picturesque Lake Jualbup provides the perfect setting for a peaceful walk through its leafy, family-friendly surrounds.

Adding to the appeal are sought-after school catchments and an unrivalled location moments from the prestige of the University of Western Australia, the sprawling beauty of Kings Park, the shopping and dining experiences of Claremont Quarter, Subiaco Square and the exciting new Shenton Quarter precinct. With the Perth CBD only minutes away, nearby bus services and both Shenton Park and Daglish Train Stations within easy walking distance, this is the kind of setting where the car becomes optional.

Nestled in a convenient pocket, it's the perfect opportunity to step into one of Perth's most coveted postcodes without compromising on nostalgia, lifestyle or future potential. Now, this is a home that feels every bit as special as its address!
