42 Mars St, Carlisle, WA 6101

Some homes are bought for practicality. Others are chosen because they feel like the place your life is meant to happen.

Bordering Lathlain, in one of Carlisle's most tightly held pockets, 42 Mars Street offers the kind of lifestyle that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Archer Street's cafés, bakery, local eateries, everyday conveniences and public transport are all within easy walking distance, while the Lathlain Oval precinct, Crown Perth, Optus Stadium, Victoria Park's café strip, Perth CBD, Perth Airport and the Swan River are all just minutes away.

Behind the white picket fence lies a beautifully renovated character home that perfectly balances timeless charm with the comfort and functionality of modern living.

When the current owners first found 42 Mars Street, they knew instantly that it was more than a house. It was the kind of home where children grow up riding bikes along the footpath, where friends stay too long over wine on cool evenings, and where the white picket fence feels less like a feature and more like the beginning of a story.

The Lifestyle

Positioned at the sought-after top end of Carlisle, you'll enjoy the best of two vibrant communities. Archer Street's cafés, restaurants, bakery, local services and public transport are just a short stroll away, while the lively Lathlain Oval precinct, home to the West Coast Eagles training facilities and a vibrant calendar of community events, sits moments from your doorstep.

From your morning coffee at Laika and weekend bakery runs to Carlisle Bakehouse, to nearby parks, everyday conveniences and public transport, so much of what makes this location special is within easy walking distance. It's the kind of neighbourhood where the car often stays parked.

With seamless access to the Perth CBD, Victoria Park's café strip, Crown Perth, Optus Stadium, the Swan River and Perth Airport, it's easy to understand why Carlisle continues to be one of Perth's most sought-after lifestyle suburbs.

Stepping inside, you'll discover a home filled with warmth and personality.
Timber floors, high ceilings and decorative cornices pay homage to its character origins, while thoughtful renovations have transformed the home into an inviting space that embraces the way people live today.

From the welcoming front porch through to the expansive rear entertaining area, every space has been thoughtfully considered to feel connected, comfortable and easy to enjoy. The flexible floorplan provides separation where needed while maintaining a natural flow between the living, dining and outdoor spaces.

The Kitchen 

Centrally positioned and designed for the way people truly live, the kitchen forms a natural hub of the home. Featuring stone benchtops, a generous island and a suite of quality appliances including a Smeg 900mm freestanding cooktop, Technika 900mm rangehood and Bosch dishwasher, it offers both functionality and considered design in equal measure.

Overlooking the living, dining and alfresco, it's a space designed to keep you connected while cooking, entertaining or unwinding.

Beyond the central living hub, a separate lounge offers a quiet retreat—a space to unwind, watch a movie or simply enjoy a slower pace away from the main living zone. Soft carpeting and a calming, neutral palette create a comfortable setting that feels instantly like home.

The Bedrooms

The accommodation has been thoughtfully zoned to balance privacy and connection, with the master suite positioned separately to create a true sense of retreat. Generous in scale and finished with warm timber flooring, it features a walk-in robe and a calm, neutral palette that feels instantly restful.

The secondary bedrooms are well-proportioned and quietly positioned, each complete with built-in robes and ceiling fans. Light-filled and inviting, they offer flexibility for growing families, guests or a home office while maintaining a cohesive and comfortable feel throughout.

Bathrooms

Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, balancing clean, modern design with everyday functionality.

The ensuite is generous in scale, featuring a double vanity, oversized mirror and a soft, neutral palette that enhances the sense of space and light. Designed as a private retreat, it offers a calm, refined extension to the master suite a space that feels both elevated and effortlessly comfortable.

The second bathroom has been cleverly integrated with the laundry, maximising functionality without compromising style. Thoughtfully designed to accommodate the demands of everyday life, it maintains the same contemporary aesthetic found throughout the home.

Indoor–Outdoor Living

Overlooking the living and dining spaces, the home flows effortlessly through to the alfresco beyond, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining or everyday living.

Stepping outside, the home truly comes into its own. The expansive covered alfresco provides a private and versatile entertaining space perfect for long lunches, evening gatherings and relaxed weekends with family and friends.

The fully enclosed front yard, secure electronic gate, additional off-street parking and easy-care landscaped gardens combine to create a rare balance of character, practicality and peace of mind. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to deliver a home that feels welcoming, secure and easy to maintain.

There's a sense of familiarity here reminiscent of the classic dream of a home with a white picket fence, where life feels a little slower, more connected and unmistakably your own.

A home with character. A home with soul. A home that simply feels right.

For the next owner, this won't simply be a purchase it will be the beginning of their next chapter.
