Quietly iconic with room for reinvention.
Circa 1940s charm is already a vibe. But stretch that across a full 956 square metre, R25 zoned block in one of Bedford's most enviable pockets and suddenly you're not just buying a house, you're future proofing. In a big way. This is the kind of investment that'll have you thinking big and dreaming brighter. Renovate, revive, further extend, subdivide (subject to all those sensible approvals), or simply love the classic bones for a wee while until you've planned your next move. Here, you have serious room to play. The current home carries that era's trademark charm: high ceilings with decorative roses, cornices that make your heart flutter, picture windows, and a front porch that feels like a proper welcome.
The front yard is generous in a way you just can't get with new builds featuring lawn and mature gardens; put in some green thumb time now and come the cooler months, everything will look lush and lovely. As you step inside, the formal entry leads you into a front lounge with a gas fireplace and french doors connecting to the formal dining room (or modernise this space and transform it into a glorious work from home space). The main bedroom sits at the front too; spacious, airy, and equipped with air con and a ceiling fan. Bedroom two has built-ins, the bathroom keeps its character with stained glass windows and a heated towel rail (bless). The kitchen is practical and roomy with a double sink and the kind of fabulous bones that'll have you Pinteresting kitchen cabinet fronts pronto.
To the rear, the vibe shifts thanks to the extension featuring a huge open-plan living and meals area with another beautiful decorative ceiling, loads of natural light, and French doors spilling out into the backyard. And that yard packs a punch with even more potential, starting with a paved alfresco, mature trees (including that show-stealing Jacaranda), and a sweet garden shed. It's the kind of property that feels nostalgic in all the best ways, without ever being stuffy. And it's oh, so ready for your input.
Location-wise, it's the sweet spot Bedford locals are rightfully smug about. Tucked South of Grand Promenade, you're close enough to everything you need without the hustle clipping your heels. Schools? Inglewood Primary (700m), and St Peter's Primary (850m) are all within a quick morning dash. Coffee or a bite? Head to Beaufort Street (180m) where cafes, bakeries, and brunch spots do the heavy lifting, including local favs Baking Corner (450 m) and Finlay's (950 m). Grocery runs are a breeze with Bedford IGA (750 m), Coles Inglewood (450 m), Aldi (1 km), and Woolworths Inglewood (1.2 km),all within easy range. Parks and green spaces are right here too, including Catherine Reserve (270 m) and Macaulay Park (1.2 km) both perfect for walks, kids' play, or a quiet moment with the doggo. Team sports your thing? Mount Lawley Golf Club (2.1 km) is ready to tee off, and Bedford Bowling Club (550 m) has you covered for local social games. Daycare is close for the little ones at Salisbury Street (450 m), and when the city calls, Perth CBD (5.4 km) is an easy trip.
