This beautiful, renovated cottage is perfect for buyers after a piece of local history in a central and sought-after location.
With a pretty front garden, tuckpointed red-brick facade and bullnose veranda, the charm begins as soon as you step through the white picket and brick fence and into a front garden planted with old-fashioned roses, frangipani and wisteria. A bullnose veranda with lacy wrought iron trimmings and a deep jarrah deck is a lovely spot to watch the world go by.
Inside, a long hallway with archways and ceiling roses leads past two good-sized bedrooms with high ceilings, jarrah floorboards, original tiled fireplaces and split-system air-conditioning. A formal living room at the end has a striking mirrored timber fireplace and beautiful leadlight French doors.
Then the home opens out into a renovated open-plan living area. The kitchen has a Blanco stove, stone benchtops and a central island/breakfast bar. A third bedroom off the kitchen doubles as a study with a built-in desk and cabinets underneath a loft bed - a fantastic use of space.
The bathroom is classic character, with a timber vanity, green-and-white heritage-style tiling and a clawfoot bath.
Off the living room is a lovely backyard. Sheltered by tall limestone walls, and with a shaded lawn alfresco area, built-in barbecue and water feature, this is a peaceful spot to unwind on weekends and evenings, and a great space for kids. A garage has laneway access for added convenience, and there's also space to park on the front verge.
The location ticks all the boxes for lifestyle and convenience: West Leederville has a great community feel, yet is close to the CBD, freeway, and just a short drive to the beach for weekends.
Transport options are excellent, with two train lines to choose from, plus frequent bus services on the weekend and the freeway just minutes away.
There are plenty of shops and a supermarket within walking distance, and for leisure, you have a lovely cafe, Piccolo's Corner, just minutes away, plenty of parks and playgrounds, and Lake Monger down the road. For going out, Leederville and Subiaco are both nearby, with plenty of restaurants, markets and shopping to choose from. Plus you're in the catchment for West Leederville Primary School.
