68 Third Avenue, Mount Lawley

End Date Sale - Absolutely ALL OFFERS to be presented by Tuesday 15th April at 5pm unless sold prior. You don't get more Mount Lawley than this. Perfectly poised on one of the suburb's most sought-after avenues, this landmark character residence blends historic charm with modern comfort, delivering a family sanctuary nestled on a full 880sqm, beautifully landscaped block. Beyond its manicured verge and majestic street presence, the home's striking red-brick façade with classic tuckpointing, iron roof, and hooded verandah sets a timeless tone. Framed by a tree-lined canopy and embraced by mature gardens, it's a place that immediately feels like home. Step through the radiant leadlight front door and into a world of yesteryear beauty - where soaring ceilings, original timber floors, ornate picture rails, and delicate ceiling roses capture every inch of Federation craftsmanship. White sheers gently diffuse the light, adding a softness to the strong architectural bones and complementing the era's elegant detailing, right down to the classic switches and trims. Thoughtfully extended by renowned ecological architect Gerard Siero some 35 years ago, the rear addition transformed this charming cottage into a dynamic family home. A celebration of timber and glass, the architecturally designed space seamlessly connects the indoors with the outdoors, creating a breathtaking light-filled retreat with framed garden vistas and abundant space for formal dining, relaxed living, and joyful connection. The galley-style kitchen continues the theme of form and function. With a commanding view over the open-plan living and gardens beyond, it's equipped with a 5-burner gas cooktop, wall oven and grill, a dishwasher, and a practical shopper's entry - all designed for everyday ease and weekend entertaining alike. Tucked away in its own peaceful rear wing, two generously sized bedrooms share a sun-drenched activity room, the ultimate kids' zone or guest retreat. Flooded with natural light and framed by expansive glazing, it's a space that can evolve with your family's needs. A beautifully appointed bathroom, complete with standalone shower, separate bath, and ample vanity storage, services this wing with effortless comfort. Step outside and feel the world melt away. The awe-inspiring backyard is a sanctuary of mature trees, formal hedging, and meandering recycled brick paths. A wisteria-wrapped pergola invites long afternoons of entertaining beneath its dappled shade, while a saltwater fibreglass pool glistens at the rear, framed by serene garden beds. Returning to the original early-century footprint, the front lounge offers a peaceful retreat, beautifully layered with character features and a statement fireplace. Flowing through to the fourth bedroom - currently embraced as a quiet study - it's a space that exudes timeless charm and can effortlessly adapt to your lifestyle. The master suite is truly exceptional. Grand in size and ripe with potential, this haven of tranquillity can be customised into the sanctuary of your dreams. With room for a reading nook, dressing space, or even a personal library, it's a retreat hidden away from the world to call your own. Recently renovated, the adjoining ensuite is a vision of contemporary elegance - featuring full-height tiling, a frameless glass shower with rainfall head, and private side garden access. This is more than a home - it's a cherished piece of Mount Lawley's story, gracefully reimagined for contemporary living.
