Wembley is one of those prized suburbs that blends all the convenience of inner-city living with easy access to the beach on weekends. This, along with the quiet, neighbourly streets, convenient shopping strips and excellent schools, means it has perennial appeal to both families and savvy investors.
This spacious, character-filled redbrick home has the kind of space and layout that is ideally suited to modern life. There's also scope to add your own individual style and signature to the picture.
Living areas are zoned and well-designed - a formal living room at the front of the house could also be used as a music or theatre room, with built-in cabinets around the fireplace and a domed ceiling feature reflecting the home's heritage.
The main living space is very substantial - ideal for families, entertaining and busy mornings. Cool terracotta tiles underfoot are lovely in summer and can be warmed up in winter with floor rugs, while easy access to the back garden and kitchen makes this a fantastic space for parties.
The kitchen is vast, with solid timber cabinetry and an ILVE chef's oven. An adjacent laundry leads out to a drying courtyard and has its own walk-in linen cupboard and storeroom. This space is large enough to turn into a scullery, should you desire even more space for cooking and food preparation. A second walk-in storeroom off the hallway, plus a bank of floor-to-ceiling cupboards, keeps the house clean and uncluttered.
With four bedrooms, plus a study or option fifth bedroom, there is space for larger families and great separation for those with older children. Two bedrooms at the rear of the house, overlooking the backyard, share a good-sized family bathroom with tub, separate shower and adjacent toilet.
To the front of the house is a lovely main suite with space for a small TV, study or library - a peaceful spot to escape to, with its own ensuite and walk-in robe. Another bedroom is located just off the front hallway, and there's a fifth bedroom or study off the family room.
Gardens are large and established, with some beautiful shady Chinese Tallow trees both front and back, a deep front veranda and generous rear alfresco area, and plenty of room for a swimming pool further down the line. There's also convenient rear laneway access and a double carport out the front for cars and boats. A perimeter fence adds security and safety.
The location is superb: just off Grantham Street on a neighbourly street, you're close to Lake Monger and Wembley Primary School, as well as plenty of cafes and shops, and a 24-hour IGA on nearby Cambridge Street. And, of course, you're just a quick drive to the beach, freeway or CBD.
Light and airy, with high ceilings throughout in keeping with the original home's style, this is a gorgeous family home, ready to go with scope to add your own style in time.
