This 1950s brick and tile character on its 981sqm R25 lot with 20.1m frontage isn't trying to be cute, it's too full of untapped potential to be anything but real. It delivers a proper front verandah with original ironwork, and once inside, the leadlights, ornate ceilings with roses and decorative cornices remind you that folk used to care about details, and French doors to boot. It's all here, waiting for someone bold enough to get planning and playful. The kitchen is honest: gas cooktop, oven, skylight, and plenty of bench space - showcasing that you could, in fact, live here while doing the place up just the way you've always dreamed. The sweet meals area opens to the backyard, where fruit trees, a big Frangipani, and space for a pool (or second home*) will have your imagination running wild, while the traditional sleepout is certainly a space you'll want to keep as a third bedroom, ripper home office, or secret creative lair. Laundry, separate WC, workshop? Check, check, check. Bonus: if you love the idea of an authentic pink vintage bathroom, you're going to be wooed silly. Side access on the big block means future renovations, or extensions, or subdivision options will be far easier than you imagined in such a popular spot*. It's rare to find this much glorious canvas that still retains quality character. Strong bones, big block, undeniable vibe.
Location-wise, the good times roll with Beaufort Street just 500m from your door, putting bars, restaurants, and cafes well within an easy stroll (perfect for when you need sustenance mid-reno!) Plus the magic of Grand Promenade is only 600m too. Stretch your legs at Grand Promenade Reserve (700m), Brown's Lake Reserve (450m), or Beaufort Park (700m), or tee off at Mount Lawley Golf Club (2.6km) if you're feeling fancy. Sporty types can hit up Bedford Bowling Club (650m) or explore Walter Road West (1km) for all kinds of recreation. Schooling options are close and convenient: Hillcrest Primary (1.1km), John Forrest Secondary (1km), Chisholm Catholic College (750m), and St Peter's Primary (1.3km) all giving growing families plenty of solid choices. Foodie? You're 100% sorted with Our Table and Djangos (both 900m), Cecchis (1.3km), and Finlay & Sons (1.8km), while Galleria Shopping Centre (1.6km) handles all the other essentials unless you just need a quick groceries trip to Bedford IGA (900m) or Coles Inglewood (1.4km). Meltham Station (2km) will whisk you into the city (6.2km) quicker than you can get through a single episode of a home design podcast.
