Flanked by Australian native trees, an abundance of outdoor living and a symphony of birdlife, this original four-bedroom, one-bathroom Californian ranch-style home is oozing renovation or restoration potential.
With all the charming hallmarks of original jarrah boards, high ceilings, oversized casement windows, decorative tiles and an iconic pitched roof, the home has remained in pristine condition since it was built in 1958.
Adopting warm and inviting country vibes, the open plan living, kitchen and dining enjoy copious amounts of natural light along with garden views from every corner. Fitted with timber bench tops, a five-burner gas stove top and large Eurolec oven, the northern aspect of the kitchen is particularly pleasing for the home cook or entertaining guests.
Located at one of the most elevated sites in Mount Claremont, the home enjoys cooling sea breezes in the warmer months, along with excellent insulation for comfort in the cooler seasons.
Like many homes of this era, the original sleep-out, now converted into a kitchen larder/storage nook, still remains, and extends to one of several outdoor garden and entertaining zones. Similarly, the original laundry offers abundant storage, external courtyard access and a separate guest toilet.
Framed by a paved alfresco and protected veranda, the outdoor potential here is endless. This generous 840sqm block could accommodate a swimming pool, a modern extension or be transformed into a gardening lover's paradise - or perhaps all three combined!
Each of the four bedrooms, one with French door access to a light-filled courtyard, are generously sized with excellent natural light, ceiling fans and access to a shared bathroom fitted with a tub and vintage decorative tiles.
Other handy features include individual carport and a lock-up garage area with a workshop, garden shed and off-street parking to accommodate all manner of motoring items including, four vehicles, a caravan, trailer or small boat.
Adored for its neighbourly charm within a quiet, friendly and secure community, this home enjoys close proximity to some of the finest leisure, retail, sporting, and recreational options in Perth.
Pinetree Park, stunning open spaces around Lake Claremont, Bold Park and Perry Lakes, along with HBF Challenge Stadium, Cottesloe Golf Club, Swanbourne beach, gym and pool facilities and the charming caf strip at Asquith Street are all within walking distance.
Scotch College and John XXIII College, Mount Claremont Primary School (and the weekend farmer's market), Claremont Quarter and the spectacular new Foodies Market IGA (Claremont), are also accessible by foot or via convenient public transport routes.
