44 Ruby Street

North Perth WA 6006

Exceptionally located, on a corner block, in one of North Perth's most desired streets, this timeless home c.1920 unifies a gracious past with a 2010 renovation designed with the future in mind.

After being greeted by the bullnose front veranda with the original interior of the house features a central hallway off which sizable bedrooms are found, each adorned with period attributes such as high ceilings and ornate rosettes. A spacious lounge room has a traditional fireplace continuing the timeless appeal until, at the end of the hallway a great sense of space, light and comfort is created by the modern extension containing the kitchen, dining and living areas - featuring cathedral windows, double sliding doors, and polished concrete floors throughout. The kitchen flaunts glass splash backs, gas and electric cooking, ample storage, Caesar stone tops and a dishwasher. This is the bright focal point of the home transitions outdoors to an impressive, solar covered pergola and alfresco deck equipped for year-round entertaining. With a north-south orientation overlooking the water wise gardens, a large entertaining space and BBQ facilities sets the scene for relaxed outdoor living.

Striving to reduce the property's carbon foot print as much as possible, the 2010 extension with a north-south orientation is solar passive in design, with double glazing throughout, polished concrete flooring, cross ventilating double glazed louvre windows supplemented by ceiling fans. This natural design is complimented by an extremely water wise garden featuring strategically placed deciduous trees and sub-soil reticulation throughout. Going one step further the home boasts installed rainwater tanks with a capacity of 4,500 litres and associated grey water system to ensure the collected rain water gets used twice - first in the house and then again on the garden!
