Boasting some of Bassendean’s best and classiest period features along with original architecture from circa-1912, this gorgeous 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home benefits from elevated district views on a massive 1,012sqm (approx.) block that has so much space and is also subdivisible, for those with a keen eye on the future.
Soaring high ceilings, wide and solid Jarrah floorboards, feature character skirting boards, picture rails and pressed-tin to the ceilings and hallway are prevalent. Beyond a splendid gated front garden that is overlooked by a classic bull-nose verandah entry deck. The front master-bedroom suite is huge and plays host to separate “his and hers” built-in wardrobes, an open fireplace and a charming ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet and stone vanity.
Also at the front of the house, the second bedroom doubles as an alternative living room, away from the spacious main lounge where you will find a feature gas fireplace. The third bedroom is also massive in size, whilst a stylish second bathroom plays host to a stunning claw-foot bathtub, a rain showerhead, a toilet and built-in storage.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is separate and comprises of sparkling granite bench tops, a Smeg steam oven above the regular Smeg oven, a gas cooktop of the same brand, a range hood, a sleek white Siemens dishwasher and access to both the lounge room and out to a fabulous rear alfresco-entertaining deck. The roof to the latter is insulated and complements a ceiling fan, modern light fittings and shade blinds for protection from the elements, ready for use all year round.
Also outdoors are a handy powder room, a separate laundry with ample storage options and expansive backyard lawns for the kids – and the family pet – to run around on, under the shade of multiple trees. This includes a phenomenal 100+ year-old Peppermint Tree that is arguably one of Bassendean’s oldest. There is also a paved courtyard that is ideal for a firepit, gated drive-through access to a massive powered workshop shed-come-double garage (with mezzanine storage) and a separate and legally-habitable rear studio/home office with split-system air-conditioning and Cat5 cabling.
