Behind its heritage Federation façade, 88 First Avenue reveals a meticulously reimagined residence that honors its architectural origins while introducing a refined, contemporary rear. Extended and renovated in 2020 under a clear and considered vision, the home seamlessly pairs preserved early-1900s character with a progressive modern language. The result is a grounded yet quietly sophisticated residence, beautifully reflecting its position within one of Mount Lawley’s most established and tightly held streets.
Designed on a 439 sqm survey-strata block, the project carefully preserves original details like jarrah flooring, ornate ceilings, and stained glass, before transitioning into a minimalist, fully integrated Miele kitchen. Fluid living zones open via bi-fold doors to a private alfresco with a pizza oven, while accommodation includes three character-rich bedrooms and an elevated contemporary main suite. The home is rounded out by intelligent practicalities, including a dedicated wine cellar, mudroom, 5kW solar system, and a secure garage with a vehicle turntable.
