1/133 Birkett Street, Bedford WA 6052

A true '50s marvel, this is a home with both practical and aesthetic appeal.

70+ and still as gorgeous, interesting and charming as ever? Obvious yes: Helen Mirren playing a daughter of Atlas. But also: this spunky character home. A cute facade greets you from the street, with the sweet colour palette and pretty garden saving the elevated aspect from being overly imposing. Step up to the verandah and you'll find there's plenty of room for a snuggly outdoor setting where you can keep an eye on the littlies while they play at the park across the road. Even true blue heroes need downtime. Or leave the kids to it and pop back inside where the Jarrah floorboards and high ceilings bring a touch of charm and a whole lot of welcoming vibes. Original features, like the fireplace, have been retained and modern additions and upgrades have spiced things up. Split system aircon? Essential in this climate. Built-in storage? The more the better. But wait. Pop out the back to the alfresco entertaining area. Time is still nebulous here. The spacious backyard is neat as a pin with paving and fencing and a delightful patch of lawn. But there are also well-established olive trees which hark back to decades past. Pick and cure the olives yourself and you'll just about feel like a domestic deity.
Location-wise, this is incredibly convenient. You're close enough to Grand Prom (550m) and Walter Road West (280m) to just about lasso a bus as it goes by. Yet this leafy street is just enough removed from the hustle and bustle of city life to offer a sense of peace and tranquillity. The park directly across the road helps, of course. As does the golf club (1.8km) if you're keen to get on the green. If not, the local Bowls Club is only 1.1km away and is a lot of fun too. Go for a drink and a roll with a handful of mates and you'll see what we mean. Of course, there are traditional social options to be found nearby, such as dinner at Cecchi's (1.8 km) or Our Table (650m), or a cocktail enjoyed while lingering over tapas at Django's (650m). Meanwhile, Galleria (1.8km) hits the spot for shopping excursions. Everything's so close you won't ever need to ride a dragon. Shazam!
In the name of all that is good, get yourself to see this spacious champion.
