3 bedroom | 1.5 bathroom | 1 carport plus off street parking
Bursting with warmth and family memories, this delightfully restored bungalow celebrates its period features via high 'deco' style decorative ceilings and cornices, jarrah floors and an original wood stove in the kitchen, while northern light is enjoyed from a timber deck and sunny indoor living.
Located in the heart of Palmyra's inviting, family-friendly community, this charming character home has brought many years of neighbourly connection to the owners and its young family. Walking distance to the highly-esteemed Palmyra Primary School and its weekly (Palmyra) Western Farmers Market; abundant parks and playgrounds, and the river - this home has seen many celebrations over the years – drinks on its elevated deck overlooking the garden, cricket matches on the lawn or cozy gatherings around a crackling wood fire.
Anchored by an original mantle and fireplace, the serene and calming north-facing lounge-room, is drenched in ethereal natural light at its entrance, while a discreet hallway nook separates two generous bedrooms (one with a large built-in-robe & picture rails, and the other fitted with split-system air-conditioning) and a family bathroom (with tub and heated ceiling lamp).
A bright and sunny kitchen is the true heart of the home. Featuring an extra high ceiling and clad in white subway tiles, this practical zone overlooks an open-plan dining area and sunroom with French door access to a light-dappled garden and brick-paved veranda, sheltered by rows of stunning Lilly Pilly trees.
Honouring an original hearth and antique, cast-iron Instone-Fremantle wood stove (in good working order!), the kitchen is appointed with ample bench space and cabinetry, along with a water filter, Westinghouse 4-burner gas hob & oven, and Bosch dishwasher. Completing the rear layout is a privately located third bedroom, with French door access to the garden and paved veranda, along with a generous laundry (with external drying court access) and a separate toilet.
Other features include a cubby house in the rear garden, fully reticulated (low maintenance) landscaping, three individual garden sheds, a single carport, plus off-street parking for additional vehicles, charming picket-fenced exterior, ducted evaporative air-conditioning, quality locks on doors and windows, gas bayonets (lounge room & dining) and elegant window treatments.
Surrounded by growing families and charming neighbours of all generations, this supremely low-maintenance home is very close to every convenience and amenity desired, along with proximity to main arterial roads allowing direct access to central, south and east Freo, and just minutes to the beach.
