Take a look at this 1930s Tudor Revival charmer!
Perhaps it’s the romantics in us… But a sweet flowering hedge, a bay window and a white picket arbour? One glance and in our heads we’re baking apple pies, braiding ribbons into our hair and picnicking in the garden!
It’s no surprise, then, that this Yokine home had us daydreaming at our desks.
Opposite the prestigious West Australian Golf Club, the 1930s home was built by the same architect and during the same period as the WAGC Clubhouse.
Both buildings share the distinctive Tudor Revival aesthetic that had a surge in popularity at the time – although the home’s interpretation is a little more intimate in scale than the Clubhouse’s!
And while we say it’s more intimate – it’s no less impressive.
Once you’ve made your way through that charming front garden, you’ll quickly find yourself in the living room, flanked by a dining room and library by stunning timber sliding pocket doors.

The scale is befitting of the homes decades of old-world entertaining – although its formality has been dialled down a smidge for contemporary tastes! We’re particularly taken by the timber seat, cosily nestled into the bay window.
While the bright and airy kitchen maintains a sense of 1930s charm – including its sweet archways that enclose the workspace and stove – its also been updated for contemporary needs.
Of course, all of the home’s four bedrooms are rather endearing – but who could go past the rather spectacular primary bedroom? Six by four metres, with its own charming bay window and built in window seat, soaringly high ceilings and – if you can believe it for a home of its era – a built-in robe!
Separating the primary bedroom from the rest of the home, a cosy family room looks out at a cute paved courtyard – across from which is a standalone studio with its own loft space.
