See the moon rise over the Stirling Ranges from this very high position, home to a solar-powered early 60s home on a big R40 zoned block. Enjoy the warm atmosphere of a brick-and-tile built to last, with large corner windows and original jarrah floors throughout, all well-maintained and in fine condition. Set back from the road behind a high fence, screened by leafy trees and a generous front lawn, there is also plenty of space at the rear, with those long views from the back veranda. Perfect to live in right now, there is also fantastic potential here to make the most of the expansive gardens, and consider the possibility of a second storey for even more incredible views.
The traditional Cooby classic layout opens to the living room with fireplace, ceiling fan and big windows to make the most of the northern aspect. Jarrah floors flow through to the dine-in kitchen, with charcoal tops, white cabinetry and another big corner window, and adjacent is the laundry and separate toilet. Two sunny northern bedrooms have double hung sash windows looking to the front garden, a third bedroom has wonderful views over the treetops to the hills, and nearby is the neat white bathroom with bath.
Step out to the back and you really get a sense of how high up you are, with the breezy elevation and expansive outlooks that make this home so special. You will spend lots of time on the long, wide veranda, with a sheltered spot for the outdoor table. Green space stretches out with lawn, shady trees and grapevines, on this generous block that is an inspiring prospect for creating some beautiful garden areas and growing your own veggies. It's a practical set-up for vehicles, trailer or caravan, with a long driveway continuing through the carport to hardstand and a big shed/garage/workshop.
All kinds of shopping, parks and schools are nearby, with easy access to transport, hospitals and Murdoch University. Come on up the hill and check out the character and the potential of this much-loved classic ready for a new era.
