71B Rome Road, Melville WA 6156

Sheltered by gardens on a corner block is a rambling fifties house with plenty of personality. This is a relaxed place with a Freo vibe, from the blue front veranda to the huge high-roofed alfresco out the back, and plenty of flexible spaces inside. Here, you’re close to shopping and restaurants, the river is nearby, and you can walk to Melville Primary and Melville High School.

Original jarrah floors add real character and warmth, and unique bay windows give generous curves to the living area and to the big master bedroom at the front of the home. The central kitchen opens to the dining, and also flows through to the sunken living room. Spacious and practical, the kitchen features a central breakfast bar, a Schott induction cooktop and Bosch oven.

Beyond the kitchen are two bedrooms overlooking the back yard, with louvred windows and a sunroom atmosphere. The black and white bathroom is a retro triumph, with original pink pedestal basin and bath, and there’s an additional toilet on the way out the back door. There, the home really expands for relaxed outdoor living with plenty of room for family and friends to gather, as a high-pitched roof covers a huge alfresco area, and gardens curve around the side of the home.

Upstairs, a loft space creates a real retreat, with light streaming from brand new high windows on two sides – one with long views across the river to the city skyline. Featuring built-in storage, this could be a bedroom, office, studio or extra living space.

The wiring has been re-done, there’s a new Colorbond roof, and old-style air-conditioning in the kitchen/dining, alarm security and good off-street parking. You can easily invest in this great location and bank it for the future as an ideal rental – or just move in, spread out and enjoy the atmosphere!

This sale and move must have been the most professional and smooth-flowing that we have experienced, having done 20 over the years.

The key to this feeling was Catherine, a charming and lovely young lady whose communication skills were without question the very best. Nothing was too much, and her concern for us and our needs was beyond reproach; we feel that she became one of our family, and we will miss her interaction and friendliness.

Catherine made every step of selling my property easy

Catherine and the team are very approachable and really make it feel like you’re on the same side! This family feel at White House have all the knowledge we needed regarding comparative sales, previously sold properties that were very similar to mine, and exact price guides. I can’t recommend Catherine enough, as she really does know the real estate market and made me feel very safe in the sale of the family home.

Thank you, Carlie!

From the moment I met Carlie, I knew she was the right agent for us. She’s professional, approachable, and truly knows the North Coogee market—because she lives there. She listened to our needs, kept us informed, and never pressured us. Her calm, honest approach made selling far less stressful. Her team was also fantastic. I’d recommend Carlie without hesitation—she turned a daunting process into a smooth and positive experience.

Highly recommended

Well handled from start to finish. Helped me with knowledgeable decisions to overcome a couple of small hurdles during the selling process. I had the option of using a previous agent, but I’m glad I switched and decided to trust Curtis. No doubt I made the right choice.
