You'll feel like you've stepped back in time when you view this magnificent Californian bungalow in dress-circle Mount Lawley. With three bedrooms and one bathroom, this breath-taking beauty is packed with original and reproduction period features consistent with the style and all the modern comforts you love.
Set on a compact, street-front strata-titled block, the property has a charming render and red brick facade and a red-tiled roof. A freestanding double carport of the same construction is offset behind an electric security gate, and the sweeping veranda welcomes you home and offers a sheltered alfresco space.
Gleaming original jarrah floorboards flow throughout the home, with gorgeous slate tiling to the kitchen and dining. Jarrah beams adorn the ceilings, with dado and picture rails, architraves, panelled doors and window frames of the same timber throughout each glorious room. The french doors into the beautiful living room feature the original hand-cut leadlight glass panels.
Farmhouse meets Hamptons in the spectacular kitchen and scullery to the rear of the home, beneath a soaring cathedral ceiling with exposed jarrah beams and exquisite wrought iron feature lighting. Earthy slate flooring, solid granite benchtops, creamy off-white cabinetry and splashbacks, a retro Falcon cooker, and Oregon slow combustion heater pay respect to a bygone era, while modern elements include a double drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and integrated bar fridge. Mealtimes with family and friends will be an absolute joy in this beautiful space.
The beautifully-appointed bathroom offers floor-to-ceiling tiling, shower, marble floor tiling, a pedestal basin, reproduction tapware and Art Nouveau lighting. Luxuriate in your deep claw-foot bathtub and soak off the hustle and bustle of your day.
Two separate living areas, each with a fireplace, provide space for family members to enjoy personal space or come together. Adjacent to the impressive living room is a light-filled study, complete with bay windows, french doors and stunning original floor tiles. The three bedrooms are all relaxing retreats, with lofty ceilings, built-in robes and elegant pendant lighting.
Lush, green gardens on reticulation are easy-care so that you have more time to spend enjoying your magnificent home and enviable Mount Lawley lifestyle. Stroll 80m to Beaufort Street where a variety of entertainment, dining and shopping options are on your doorstep. Enjoy a cruisy Sunday afternoon at the iconic Queens Hotel, spoil yourself with some jazz and cocktails at Trio Cafe and Wine Bar or indulge in mouthwatering Italian fare at Ischia Ristorante.
Also a desirable location for schools, the property enjoys proximity to Mount Lawley Senior Highschool, Perth College and Mount Lawley Primary School, with Chisholm Catholic College, St Peter's Primary School, and ECU only slightly further. Just three kilometres sees you in Perth's CBD and less than 1km to Mount Lawley station for a rail commute.
