Set back from the wide front verge, an immaculately presented home of yesteryear sits quietly nestled amongst a serene garden setting. It's a peaceful spot to live - trees gently swaying in the breeze, birdsong above and a welcoming neighbourhood rich in community spirit - and that's all before setting foot inside. Lovingly held in the same family for over 50 years, you're spoilt for choice with options to explore; move in and enjoy the home as is, sub-divide the generous 1,050m2 block into two or three lots (with the bonus of rear laneway access from Biddles Lane) or completely transform the home with a contemporary renovation.
Step through the north-facing tiled porch into a beautifully preserved 60s time capsule; original jarrah floorboards, geometric ceilings, timber pelmets above the windows and frosted glass sliding doors sectioning off the living, dining and kitchen areas allowing for great separation if needed. On the left, you'll find three original bedrooms down the hallway (the master with built-in robes) each sharing the family bathroom, and a large laundry with separate WC, while on the right is the light-filled lounge, dining and solid timber 80s style kitchen.
The kitchen has great bones to renew for modern living complete with laminate benchtops, ample storage space and electric appliances. A lovely sunroom sits at the rear overlooking a scenic display of Mediterranean-inspired greenery with lush lawn, sprawling 50 year old grapevines (inherited from a Swan Valley vineyard) and a range of fruit trees including citrus, fig and olive - the established grapevines even offer the chance to make your own wine on-site in the undercroft cellar.
Upstairs, a multi-purpose room has a wonderful vista across the Valley allowing you to appreciate the large size of this block and its elevated aspect. Adding flexibility to the original floor plan, it can be used as a second living area, playroom, teenager's retreat, home office or fourth bedroom with the bonus of another bathroom nearby.
Outside, an undercover alfresco enjoys cool breezes and the serenity of the huge back garden. There's a secure garage (with workbench space) for one vehicle, another sheltered patio area with a sink, rainwater tank for the grounds, chicken coop, storage shed and additional parking down the long driveway for more cars including a caravan, boat or trailer. There's so much room in the backyard to transform this space further – add a pool, extend the alfresco or take inspiration from surrounding neighbours to re-develop this large sized block.
This retro 60s treasure captures the best of Valley living in a wonderfully convenient location close to so much; Fremantle, beautiful beaches, public transport routes, leafy parklands, schools, shops, cafés and a range of amenities. Dream big and imagine the possibilities that await on this huge block!
