76 South Western Highway, Mount Richon WA 6112

To someone who loves and understands Art Deco, has some skill in building, and who is looking for an opportunity to own a fine example of the period, this 1925 home is both an opportunity and a challenge.

The original owners had considerable financial means and wanted to make a statement on their elevated block, overlooking Armadale Town Centre. Very much an important part of early history (the Hands family owned 3 butcher shops in the region), the home will be well worth the money and effort required to bring it back to its former glory.

A recent building inspection indicates that most of the residence appears solid and stable, and very little has been changed from the original Art Deco design. With almost 100 years of existence, however, the home is showing signs of wear-and-tear. That said, flooring, doors, windows, skirting boards, architraves, ceilings and cornices are in relatively good condition. The 6-inch-wide jarrah floorboards, when restored, will be magnificent! The decorative cornices, repaired, will make an impact, the ornate leadlight doors and windows may be 'wow' again and the open fire can be the heart of the home, once more.

If you would love to own a period home, wouldn't normally have the funds to own one, and are up for the challenge, please call Maggie Burke to view.
