What we love
The character, the comfort, the convenience. This lovingly-renovated and cleverly-extended four bedroom two bathroom home was originally built in the mid-1930s and occupies a wonderful location close to both the city and coast, whilst also being perfectly positioned just footsteps away from picturesque Lake Monger. It now makes for a gorgeous family residence where soaring high ceilings, a mix of old and new solid Jarrah floorboards and decorative cornices meet feature high skirting boards, wooden trimmings and a host of classic - and original - features throughout.
Spacious in size, an elegant formal lounge room is warmed by a brick fireplace and precedes a light, bright and open-plan family and dining area with a lush outlook to the rear lawns and double doors that reveal a stunning backyard - comprising of a covered entertaining verandah, a splendid "Flagstone" courtyard and a trickling water feature to help set the mood. A beautifully-tiled kitchen will inspire you with its quality marble tops, a floating bench, Cherrywood cabinetry and finishes, Franke double sinks, an integrated dishwasher, gas cooktop and more. The main sunken split-level sleeping quarters even play host to a versatile sitting/television room that makes for a perfect children's retreat, whilst an outdoor studio (or office) is totally separate from the house and boasts split-system air-conditioning and mezzanine storage behind the privacy of double doors.
What to know
The bedrooms are all huge - including a front master that sits next to a fully-tiled bathroom with a bathtub, toilet, vanity and stylish light fittings. On the other side of the wall, the fourth bedroom off the entry can easily be converted into a potential dressing room down the track, if you are that way inclined. A carpeted second bedroom benefits from the luxury of built-in robes, as does the versatile 3rd bedroom (off the retreat), whilst a separate modern laundry complements a shower, toilet and vanity in the main bathroom - plus ample hallway linen storage.
Extras include a large tandem double carport and entry verandah for sitting quietly, gas-bayonet heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning to the main living space, split-system air-conditioning to the main, second and third bedrooms, a security-alarm system, gas hot-water system, reticulation, sprawling front lawns, manicured gardens, a side-access gate to the yard and off-road parking options on McKenzie Street. The popular Pronto gourmet cafe is only a few doors up on the next corner, whilst bus stops, shopping on Cambridge Street, the freeway, excellent schools, sporting facilities and the surrounding entertainment hubs of Subiaco, Leederville and Mount Hawthorn are all conveniently located nearby. What a wonderful place to live!
