Bursting with personality, warmth and endless potential, this character-filled 4 bedroom 2 bathroom gem is nestled on a spacious R30-zoned block and blends quirky charm with contemporary comforts, making it perfect for families ready to settle in now - or dreamers with an eye for exciting future development opportunities.
With its inviting spaces, unique features and a layout designed for comfortable living, this very special home is your canvas to create, expand or simply enjoy as is. Solid wooden floorboards - alongside timber skirting boards, door frames and trimmings - are commonplace throughout, with the welcoming front lounge room also warmed by a Vulcan heater on the wall. It also extends out to the delightful entry verandah for a sense of flow.
The central open-plan meals and family area boasts a gas bayonet and corner Osborn pot-belly wood-fireplace heater to help counter the winter chill, as well as two ceiling fans, a breakfast bar, a large under-stair storeroom and access out to an intimate side patio for covered entertaining. The adjacent kitchen and dining space has its own breakfast nook, as well as two feature skylights for natural illumination, a storage pantry, double sinks, a Euro ceramic cooktop and stainless-steel range-hood, under-bench oven and Bosch-dishwasher appliances.
Also downstairs are a front second bedroom (with a ceiling fan, ample built-in-wardrobe and storage space and a make-up nook with a mirror), a carpeted third bedroom with its own mirror/make-up nook and built-in robes/storage cupboards, a study with lots of storage and shelving, a rear fourth bedroom (with a raked ceiling, full-height built-in robes/storage and direct backyard access), a practical main family bathroom with a bathtub, showerhead, vanity, under-bench storage and floor-to-ceiling tiling and a laundry - complete with stainless-steel double wash troughs, a separate toilet and window louvers for cross-flow ventilation.
Upstairs, a huge carpeted third living room is essentially a "parents' retreat" with air-conditioning, wooden panelled walls and a splendid leafy aspect to savour. Via double sliding doors, it also leads into a carpeted master suite with a fan, loads of built-in timber robes and storage cupboards, its own make-up nook and mirror and a fully-tiled ensuite behind gorgeous Japanese-style double sliders - bubbling central spa bath, hose showerhead, toilet, vanity and all.
Back outside, a hidden paved courtyard affords you further entertaining space, pleasantly overlooking a shimmering below-ground swimming pool. Beside the swaying poolside palm trees, you will also discover a generous workshop shed that can be accessed via gates off the privacy of a rear laneway.
In terms of living convenience, the International School of Western Australia and Doubleview Primary School both sit only footsteps away from your front door, with the Doubleview IGA supermarket, cafes and restaurants in the opposite direction. Also nearby are bus stops, the local Scarborough Library and Leisure Centre, lush local parklands, beautiful Scarborough Beach, shopping at both Westfield Innaloo and the new-look Karrinyup precinct and some of Perth's best schools - Churchlands Senior High School, Newman College, Hale School and St Mary's Anglican Girls' School included. It's all about location, location, location, here!
