Auction Location: 191 Preston Point Road, Bicton
Here's your opportunity to restore this beauty to life or build your dream home (STCA).
Very few properties are blessed with such grandeur and unique riverside surroundings as this charming Art Deco-era bungalow steeped in generations of treasured family memories.
Occupying a vast corner allotment spanning 905sqm and the entry off of Petra Street the opportunities are endless.
This historic home and property enjoys unobstructed views over the tennis club and Swan River beyond, with convenient access to the river foreshore, East Fremantle Yacht Club and scenic walking trails, all at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac position.
Deco reminders of decorative crown mouldings and high ceilings, leadlight clear-glass windows and solid jarrah floors and architraves, present the perfect canvas to restore or renovate this rarefied gem into something truly spectacular.
From the foyer, a grand living room features a Deco inspired fireplace and leadlight doors to a connecting sitting room awash in natural light and sunny terrace access looking over the gardens and river beyond.
A series of doorways connect to a retro-inspired kitchen with more lofty northern light, 70s-style timber veneer cabinetry and views to the river, while a few steps down is another sitting room or dining area, anchored by a cosy gas wood fire.
From here, with its wall of original timber robes and vintage drawers, the master suite benefits from a discreet ensuite bathroom and warm sunny influences.
A network of interconnecting bedrooms, each fitted with original timber cabinetry, occupy a separate wing of their own, with swimming pool access from one, and options to convert into study spaces, or playrooms for the kids if desired.
Nearby, a family bathroom, in addition to a spacious laundry, with rear access, are neatly tucked off the hallway, while the potential to transform the pool zone and expansive gardens, is an alluring proposition for the imagination.
With its curved vintage design and framed in endless brick paving, the mind wanders to the potential here - tropical resort style luxe or striking Palm Springs chic - while light dappled gardens offer copious corners for cubby houses and swings, perhaps a vegie patch, poolside gazebo and abundant parking for family and guests.
Walking distance to some of Perth's most scenic natural beauty – fused with picturesque walking trails & cycle paths, multiple playgrounds & cafes and excellent primary schools just minutes away, this rare beauty is awaiting a sparkling glow-up and new era in family living.
