Secreted behind limestone and modern blade fencing with manicured hedging offering additional privacy; an enchanting, beautifully renovated and extended 1915 character residence situated in a brilliantly, convenient, central to everything neighbourhood, walking distance to bustling cafes, restaurants and bars in Rokeby Road, Subiaco Arts Centre, the Farmers Market at Subi Primary, Rankin Gardens, Subiaco Theatre Gardens, Kings Park, and with easy access to public transport and the CBD.
An absolute delight is revealed from behind the high limestone wall - a picture perfect tuckpointed façade, double gables with decorative finials, tall, white framed windows, a wide bullnosed verandah with turned timber posts, and striking stained glass and timber front door. Equally captivating, interiors are a beautiful fusion of old and new with towering ceilings, jarrah underfoot, double cornices, high skirtings and original fireplaces resting easily alongside contemporary open plan spaces at the rear.
The original home with traditional central hallway hosts two super-sized bedrooms with built in robes, tall sash windows and ceiling fans, a modern family bathroom and spacious third bedroom. Opposite is the tranquil main bedroom with floor to ceiling robes, a gorgeously teensy courtyard for plants/greenery and stylish en-suite.
Under a high skillion ceiling, generous light filled open plan living and dining extend towards the rear, anchored by a well-appointed kitchen with gloss cabinetry, stone counters, casual seating, Miele conventional oven and microwave/grill, dishwasher, Ilve multifunction cooktop and a large walk-in pantry. Two sets of perpendicular stacking doors open to a large decked alfresco and adjacent BBQ area, offering plenty of space for dining, lounging, and entertaining friends. A vergola roof system ensures year-round outdoor living - it's the perfect spot to sit, relax and rest, dine alfresco, read a book or just listen to the birds in the trees.
Auto double garage accessed from the ROW.
An instant 'fall head over heels in love' home, situated in a brilliantly central spot, perfect for families with young kids looking to live near excellent public and private schools, or professional couples/downsizers looking for all the conveniences of this enviable location.
