AUCTION ON SATURDAY at 11AM! Open from 10.30am - If you're looking for something you can make your own, you'll love what's on offer here at the end of Alexandra Road!
Perched up high, this late 1950's brick home is sturdy and solid, with a large under croft garage and storage room and chunky limestone foundations. From the front of the house, every room on the west can see the ocean, the front porch, lounge, and two bedrooms through large timber framed windows. In the living area you can see the ocean and the port, and from a second storey the views would be breath taking.
The home isn't heritage listed so the opportunities are endless and inside it is virtually completely original. The original living dining zone is open and spacious with high ceilings and curved cornices which are an extension of the ceiling and a low, brick fireplace. The kitchen is so original its retro with a tiled hob and 50's cabinets. A wide corridor leads to the three bedrooms, all generous in size with built in robes and a massive bathroom. This bathroom is worth keeping if you like pink! It has the original pink tiles, pink bath, separate shower, pink pedestal basin and yes, a pink toilet all in very good condition! It is a testimony to its era!
There is a rear annex/ sunroom with a large laundry attached and this leads out to a terraced yard surrounded by mature shrubs. There's another garage out the back and a long drive up the side of the house so plenty of room for that boat, caravan or any other toys.
There is a lot of storage with built in robes, large rooms, linen cupboards, the rear annex, huge laundry under croft garage and free standing garage. You will have problems filling all the space!
With a bit of imagination, this home would polish up into a very attractive version of its original self. Take out the wall between the kitchen and living room and create a fabulous open plan family zone. Add some stairs and build above, with a living area maybe opening onto a large deck drinking in the ocean views and sea breezes. A parent's retreat and master suite would be delightful! You are in a great location here and the base is solid, strong and iconic.
However, if a modern residence is more your style, you have that option! As the home isn't listed and the block massive, there is scope to build a stunning home with amazing views and either way, you will be stacking on the value with this location.
Because this is a fabulous location for a gorgeous forever home. Ocean views from the house, the river is only a stroll away, along with the Left Bank, Dome and Zephyrs. You're in walking distance to Richmond Primary and in the John Curtin catchment area. The Yacht Clubs and nearby Bicton Baths offer a great water lifestyle. This is a wonderful opportunity to either create a dream home from a solid base or start from scratch. There's not a lot of these opportunities around and they don't come up very often, but here is one, just waiting for you to come along and own it. Just come and see what you think - you'll love it!
