Secure, comfortable and remarkably private, this beautifully maintained character home has it all: Leafy gardens, multiple living areas, large bedrooms... and a warm first impression, courtesy of its charming art deco curved verandah and large entrance hall.
Displaying all the hallmarks of its 1950's heritage, this superb home was immaculately renovated and extended 15 years ago -character features now provide an elegant backdrop for modern living. The home offers a spacious and flowing layout, with handsome jarrah floorboards, original 1950s fireplace and cabinetry, decorative cornices, high ceilings, solid timber doors, and more.
Wrapped in mature trees, the 718sqm property is a private paradise away from the world. At the rear, the open plan kitchen/meals/family areas extend seamlessly to a large L-shape verandah via French doors. The private lawn, gardens and alfresco entertaining areas are sheltered from the wind and sun... A picturesque gazebo invites you to relax amongst the bird song, and the paved area is great for kids.
Back inside, the formal living and dining areas enjoy exquisite northern sunlight, as well as pretty views to the garden. Depending on your needs, the dining room could be perfectly repurposed as a home office or study.
All the bedrooms are large, welcoming and full of natural light. The master has an ensuite bathroom, substantial built-in storage and a view across the frangipani tree. Two children's bedrooms also have built-in robes, and a fourth bedroom is ideal for a teenager or a guest room, as it enjoys a private position at the far end of the house, adjacent to the laundry with a third shower and toilet. The original single garage has been converted to a basement activity room and would work perfectly as a home studio or gym.
The property has a central position in this popular family neighbourhood, well served by public transport and incredibly walkable. You can leave the car at home and do just about anything on foot: stroll to Perry Lakes, walk to sports and after school activities (cricket, tennis, netball), hop across to Floreat Forum, or local gem Kirwan St Cafe. You're also in highly desirable school zones (Floreat Primary and Shenton College), within easy reach of the state's top private schools, as well as being enviably close to both the CBD and beach.
This fantastic home has everything going for it. Don't delay in making your move - strong interest is anticipated.
