189 Bishopsgate Street, Carlisle, WA 6101

Character home renovation done right.

Beginning with a timeless circa-1950 brick home, an incredibly sympathetic extension has transformed 189 Bishopsgate Street into a beautifully composed 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, design for modern living.

Behind the white picket fence and front verandah, polished jarrah floors, high ceilings and ornate detailing speak to the home's past.

The oversized main bedroom is a genuine retreat, with a substantial walk-in robe and a light and bright contemporary ensuite.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 retain the proportions and charm you would expect from a home of this era, with built-in robes and double glazing (to all the bedrooms) for the deepest of undisturbed slumbers!

Then the house changes gear.
Polished exposed aggregate concrete floors define the extension, sitting beautifully against the warmth of the original jarrah boards.

At its heart is a seriously good kitchen.
Recycled red brick, expansive stone benchtops, a large island bench, 6 burner gas cooktop, 900mm oven and excellent pantry storage make this a kitchen designed to be used.

The kitchen, dining and living areas combine into one generous, light-filled space before wide sliding doors open directly onto the decked undercover alfresco.

Inside becomes outside with very little fuss.

Beyond is an established, private and fully fenced backyard with lawn, mature greenery and enough room for children, pets or to replay the AFL grand final (just fix the last 4 minutes!).

On 466m² of survey-strata land, the home offers around 139m² of internal living, plus the front verandah and a generous alfresco, also under the main roof.

And perhaps one of the most compelling things about this home today is what you don't have to do.

The design decisions have been made.
The extension has been built.
The kitchen and bathrooms are finished.

The old home has been celebrated and improved.
With the cost, time and disruption involved in substantial renovations, there is a lot to be said for buying a character home where the hard work has already been done - particularly when it has been done this well.
