A world-class architectural masterpiece in Perth's prestigious Peppermint Grove is available for sale with offers over $14 million.
Carbrakine House, an 1898 Federation Queen Anne residence, has been meticulously reborn as a breathtaking contemporary sanctuary boasting jaw-dropping design and unparalleled heritage.

Set on a sprawling 1,302 sqm block, 143 Forrest Street represents a seamless fusion of century-old craftsmanship and cutting-edge artistry.
The result of a powerhouse partnership between Space Agency architecture and acclaimed interiors firm, Hare + Klein, Ray White Cottesloe director Jody Fewster said Carbrakine House is unlike anything else in the area.
"It truly stops you in your tracks," Ms Fewster said. “Every element has been reimagined with absolute respect for its 1898 origins while embracing the finest in contemporary Australian design."

“Space Agency brought an architectural rigour and understanding of proportion, while Meryl [Hare] infused the interiors with warmth, tactility and soul. It’s that rare synergy where architecture and interior design speak the same language.”

The home has three generous bedrooms plus a study (or optional fourth bedroom). The master suite is a truly private retreat, complete with a luxurious marble ensuite featuring bespoke cream terracotta tiles sourced from Italy, custom robes, and a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the gardens.
“Materials like Grigio Perlato marble or handmade Italian terracotta tiles tell a story; they age beautifully and reflect a standard of design that’s built to endure. Every surface here has been completed with that level of thought.

“The courtyard is the heart of the home,” Ms Fewster said. “It’s not just beautiful, it’s incredibly functional for the way we live in Perth.”
A new standard for Perth’s elite market
Consistently holding the title of Perth's most expensive suburb — with a median house price of $4.37 million — Peppermint Grove is characterised by its enviable riverfront location, grand mansions and tree-lined streets.
“We’re seeing strong interest from highly sophisticated buyers, people who travel, who understand great design and who want a home that reflects their values,” Ms Fewster said.

“It’s attracting attention from those who typically buy in Sydney’s eastern suburbs or Melbourne’s Toorak, which says a lot about where Peppermint Grove now sits on the national stage.
“Peppermint Grove already sets the benchmark for prestige real estate in Western Australia, but The Carbrakine House sits in a class of its own.

"I think it has every potential to set a new benchmark and it will most certainly raise the bar in our suburb.”
