Homes of this character, and blocks of this size, are incredibly difficult to come across so this residence is certain to be in strong demand from families keen to secure the dream.
The residence was originally crafted in 1901 for a local sailmaker and named "Arcadia". The house features a detailed facade that includes a bull nosed verandah, tuckpointing and limestone quoin work which creates a dramatic entrance statement as you approach the home. Internally the home features all the hallmarks of the era including decorative ceilings, ornate fireplaces, bay windows with antique coloured glass, jarrah timber flooring, rooms of generous proportions and grand ceiling heights. Benefitting from more recent renovations, which include a new ensuite bathroom and dressing room to the master suite, a new main bathroom and a new family size kitchen, the home provides the modern conveniences to create an enviable setting for family living. A later extension to the rear of the home provides additional living and zoning opportunities for the times when everybody needs their space. The property provides ample storage with an under-croft area on the lower floor which could serve as a cellar for the wine enthusiast and a further workshop/store area also beneath the main residence. Whilst the main body of this substantial home is presented to a very high standard, there is still the opportunity to add further value and to personalise the rear section of the home with minor cosmetic improvements making this a home for today and tomorrow.
