Curl up with a glass of red in front of the open fire in winter or kick back with a barbecue and a swim in summer - this house offers easy living year round. With beautifully preserved 1930s features and an extended living area that spills out into a big backyard, it will appeal to fans of elegant character homes, all within walking distance of shops, cafes, Lake Monger and a local supermarket, and close to the CBD.
The established front garden is enclosed by a picket fence and offers plenty of off-street parking and a grand welcome from the elevated front verandah. Inside, a wide entrance leads through to an inviting formal living room with a redbrick working fireplace, original timber cabinetry, leadlight windows and high ceilings. Then it's through to a dining area and charming country-style kitchen with timber cabinets, a red-brick feature wall and French hand-painted tiling.
The home's rear extension has been beautifully executed by its current owners, with the high ceilings and timber architraves faithfully replicated, along with original doors and skirting boards. A Jotul wood-burning stove warms the space in winter, and terracotta tiles in the dining area are both practical and timeless. North-facing high-level windows provide beautiful natural light year-round.
Through an elegant archway is a secluded bedroom wing with two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a generous laundry. The main suite at the front of the house has a walk-in robe, ensuite and adjacent study or optional fourth bedroom.
Outside is a shady alfresco area paved in recycled brick, with a Tuscan-style pool with a stunning limestone feature wall, lawn and low-maintenance gardens. A solid brick and tile workshop has electricity and plumbing, and offers potential as a guest area, home office or studio.
The location is superb: tucked away on one of Wembley's leafy, neighbourly streets, yet close to everything: the beach, Lake Monger, the city, the freeway, Subiaco, Leederville and the local shops and cafes along Cambridge and Grantham Streets, plus great local schools. You're only ever five minutes away from everything in Wembley, something that is making the suburb increasingly appealing to buyers.
