Register for viewing times.For the first time in almost 90 years, the landmark Windsor Hall is offered for sale presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a beautiful heritage mansion in the prestigious Perth suburb of Mount Lawley.Evoking timeless elegance and refined grandeur, Windsor Hall occupies a prized position on a rare and generous 1892 m2 block (approx.), its elevated position capturing breathtaking views of Perth's skyline. This remarkable two-storey heritage-listed mansion was constructed in 1904 for the Mayor of North Perth by the distinguished architect H.J. Prockter. A stunning Free Federation-style residence; it now stands as a testament to the architectural splendour and superior craftsmanship of Western Australia's Gold Boom. One of the first homes built on Queens Crescent, Windsor Hall set the standard for the grand mansions of Mount Lawley, a suburb synonymous with comfortable affluence. Having been cherished by three generations of a single family, the residence underwent a meticulous restoration in late 2023 by heritage craftsmen, renowned for their work on the award-winning Coogee Hotel. Now, after almost 90 years, this iconic property is ready to welcome a new family, heritage enthusiast, or savvy investor eyeing the potential of a prime, sub-dividable block in a locality boasting high-quality residential, educational and medical zoning.Take a journey back in time and step through the leadlight front door and brick-and-limestone walls to discover the tranquil and harmonious ambience of an Edwardian family home.

Stained-glass windows overlook a leafy garden filled with birdsong. The low-maintenance garden is secured by front pedestrian and driveway gates.
