This much-loved home has changed hands only once since it was built more than half a century ago.
When you step inside, you'll quickly realise why families set down their roots here.
Beautifully upgraded for the modern day, the home offers a spacious and versatile layout, with 4 bedrooms plus study (or 5th bedroom), a recently renovated kitchen, formal and casual living areas, plus a large north-facing backyard. It's a perfect home for the changing needs of a family - you may also want to explore the potential to add a second storey, which would unlock city views.
One of the most special features of this 966sqm property is the huge backyard. It's an enchanting space that takes you back to the 1950s - complete with lemon tree, cubby house and hills hoist. There's also an abundance of grass for kids and pets to play, all overlooked by an elevated, covered patio. French doors opening from the main living rooms provide an easy indoor-outdoor flow.
Built at the beginning of Floreat's building boom in 1948, the house itself has been lovingly maintained over the years and features beautiful Art Deco character, including Jarrah flooring throughout, original timber joinery, plus stunning decorative ceilings that tower high overhead. The formal living room also boasts an original fireplace (now fitted with a gas bayonet).
Last but not least, this location is simply fabulous. Just about everything is within an easy walk, including Floreat Primary School and Early Learning Centre, Floreat Forum, Cambridge Library, and the local Birkdale Street shops - where you have a pharmacy, doctor's surgery, cafe and selection of local restaurants. For city workers, there's easy public transport into the city from The Boulevard or Cambridge Street.
Positioned on the crest of the hill, this enviable location also puts you in the very desirable catchment zone for Churchlands Senior High School, close to several sports facilities (netball, cricket, tennis, HBF Stadium, and more), and 7 minutes' drive to the beach.
The decision to make this home yours will be an easy one - don't let someone else beat you to it!
