With a premium address, historic Wheelwright Road offers up this property which will take your mind back …. these homes were known as 'Character Bungalows' and there is opportunity to transform this property by taking her back to the beautiful original and creating a light filled extension (Fremantle or Leederville style) resulting in, what is commonly known as the finer 'Gentleman's Bungalow'.
Whilst the City Of Kalamunda can only place her as early as 1965 (the first overheads on their files) we believe she is probably circa 1930's - 1950s (unconfirmed). The signature steps to the handsome elevation, 3 metre ceilings, wide entry hall, FIRE PLACE, etched and STAINED GLASS along with the art deco and cottage ROSETTES and feature cornice are HALLMARKS which relate to earlier 1900s than mid-century 1965.
As we are, settle in and be COMFY 'wabi sabi' style. With 5 Bedrooms (or optional use), an updated bathroom (2nd toilet) and 3 living zones, life is good here.
The front PORCH heralds a cane chair to watch comings and goings on the street while the side decked VERANDAH off the kitchen is a SANCTUARY for your cup of tea or game of chess.
The Japanese style 'ZEN' decked Pavilion at the rear offers shade under the ancient trees sitting amongst quaint garden art in contrast with the Australiana historic WELL and elevated water TANK (currently non-functioning) which would have provided the water supply for the original custodians.
This property enjoys a desirable location on the PRETTY and historic Wheelwright Road, we ask you to take care at this time of year and give way to the beautiful DUCKLINGS crossing the street.
We enjoy close proximity to highly regarded Mazenod College, St Brigids College, Lesmurdie Primary School, Bus Services, Ray Owen Sporting Complex and Shops. NB there are 'SHORT CUT' footpaths from Wheelwright Road through Gilroy and Goodall to Lesmurdie Primary School, Sanderson Road Shopping Village and Mazenod College.
If you are seeking CHARACTER and OPPORTUNITY for something special, I would recommend your early attention. Please call Pamela Abraham on 0409 581 008 for more information or to book your inspection.
