78 Rookwood Street, Menora.

Standing proud in one of Menora's most admired streets, this deeply held c1922 Federation home has remained in the same family for almost a century, quietly shaping generations of memories behind its wide return verandah and solid brick façade. Set across a substantial 759 sqm (approx) allotment with a generous frontage and deep street setback, the setting carries a captivating sense of permanence and privacy, offering something increasingly difficult to find in such a prized neighbourhood. Original character is beautifully preserved throughout, from the high ceilings and leadlight windows to the hardwood detail and decorative fretwork lining the entry foyer. A formal lounge sits to the front of the home with broad proportions and a gas fireplace set within its red brick surround, while the main bedroom enjoys a corner garden outlook and an adjoining sunroom ideal as a study, nursery or dressing room. A second large bedroom reflects the same soaring ceilings, supported by a classic bathroom with shower over bath, with a third bedroom set along the extended rear hallway beside the laundry and second bathroom with separate WC. At the centre, the dining area flows into a dine-in kitchen updated in the 1980s, complete with ample bench space, a walk-in pantry and direct connection to the outdoor spaces. Beyond, a large gabled pergola opens to an impressively deep backyard, where fruit trees, lawn and established plantings create a peaceful, private outlook with room for future ideas such as an extension or pool, subject to approval. Carport parking, abundant storage and a walkable position near St Paul's Primary, Ron Stone and Hamer parks, cafés and transport, plus zoning for Mount Lawley Primary and Mount Lawley Senior High School, complete a treasured home that has been cherished for generations and is now ready for its next custodians.
