SOLD - 1ST HOME OPEN - BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!
Set on one of Melville's more elevated streets, this mid-century beauty showcases classic features and contemporary flair. Soaring high ceilings and polished jarrah floorboards honour its 1950s origins, while modern comforts ensure a welcoming and homely atmosphere for everyday living. Set on a quiet and leafy street, amongst a close-knit community where neighbours know one another and children play together, this location is close to parks, schools, transport, shops and more.
A semi-circular driveway curves towards the front door, offering a single car bay sheltered from the elements. The garden blooms with citrus and native Australian flowers and foliage including kangaroo paws and banksia. Enter through the west facing veranda where the spacious and light-filled interiors retain and celebrate the prized mid-century features; period cornices, angled architecture and a row of awning windows that stream sunlight in, offering additional ventilation in those warmer months. Sunsets are especially beautiful, flooding the west facing rooms with warm golden hues.
The sweeping high ceilings and jarrah floorboards extend down the grand hallway comprising of three generous bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and soft, taupe carpet underfoot. The main bedroom has a reverse cycle air-conditioner with ceiling fans in the remaining two for year-round comfort. The dining leads out to a paved brick courtyard with a hanging peppermint tree tucked into the corner, adding rustic charm to this space behind the privacy of established hedges. Let the kids roam free in the secure back garden while you enjoy undercover alfresco dining with loved ones. The neat u-shaped kitchen is well appointed with Miele appliances, stone bench tops continuing to the splash back, and a breakfast bar - perfect for entertaining guests while you cook.
Tastefully updated in recent years, the bathroom features a shower, bath and vanity with a separate WC in the spacious laundry. Outdoor access to the back garden leads to a drying area down the side, alongside a corner shed and veggie garden bed framed by timber screening. Grey-painted brick exterior at the rear of this home nods to its mid-century modern aesthetic.
This classic and contemporary family home is ready for its next owner to create treasured memories. In a highly sought after pocket in Melville, it offers the endearing charm of a stylish 50s original and the very best in modern living.
