There's an undeniable magic to a character villa – especially one that wears its history with pride while welcoming the next chapter with open arms. Built 1908, meticulously preserved, and thoughtfully evolved, 54 Bower Street brings heritage soul and western-suburbs ease together in complete balance.
Set behind manicured gardens, a bluestone façade makes a picture-perfect first impression, effortlessly in step with its historic streetscape. Inside, the original footprint unfolds with grace, soaring square-set ceilings, polished timber floors, and ornate fireplaces carried over a wide central hallway and three generous bedrooms. It's a timeless canvas that feels calm, classic, and primed for your personal style to sing.
Daily rhythms run smoothly thanks to a renovated bathroom with luxe bathtub, frameless double shower, wide vanity, and heated towel rail, complemented by a versatile dressing room that flexes to meet any need.
Then comes the shift – an open-plan living zone designed for total connection. A high-end kitchen becomes a natural gathering point, boasting Caesarstone benchtops, electric cupboards, and integrated appliances. A walk-in pantry/laundry combo keeps everything organised, while an oversized island brings everyone together.
Glass doors peel back to a sunlit deck, wrapped in café blinds for year-round ease, where alfresco living takes centre stage. Fire up the Gozney, linger over a long lunch, or watch the kids play as you sip your coffee - the lines between indoors and out quietly disappear.
Beyond, an expansive rear yard completes the equation. Red brick paths lead to a freestanding pavilion, curated gardens stretch wide, fruit and citrus trees which include lemon, blood orange, lime and a triple grafted apple and veggie beds continue the rich home-harvest traditions of the western suburbs, and a separate workshop stands as your gym, hobby hub, or creative studio.
Practical comforts are quietly woven in, with solar panels, irrigation, cellar, garden shed, off-street parking, and split-system air-conditioning ensuring a home that lives as beautifully as it looks.
And then there's the lifestyle. Morning coffees at Two Sisters, long lunches at NNQ, classic fish n chips at the Woodville Fish and Chippery, one of the few remaining local family owned and operated businesses and the newly launched Banca specializing in traditional Italian dishes. You are certainly spoilt for choice. Weekends exploring St Clair, and shopping runs made simple with Welland, Findon, Arndale, and West Lakes all within easy reach. Woodville Primary and Findon High keep school days streamlined, while the CBD is a quick drive, cycle, or train trip away.
Totally turnkey yet full of unhurried potential to extend out or up, reconfigure, or simply embrace as is, it's an enviable package ready to meet your needs now and into the future.
A standout home in a location that speaks for itself – you'll never look back.
