Just off Oxford Street in Leederville, this beautifully renovated 1940s home is made for entertaining or family life. Ready to move into straight away, this is a great home for families, downsizers wanting to be close to the action but in a quiet location, or a professional couple commuting into the city.
The front garden is protected by an architectural steel fence and fully automated gate, and has a double carport with a good-sized storage room. Low-maintenance gardens, exposed aggregate paving and a grey rendered exterior give the home an appealing contemporary look.
Modernised and renovated throughout, there's no immediate work to be done.
At the front of the house are two double bedrooms, both with high ceilings and restored jarrah floorboards. A cosy formal living room has an original brick fireplace, and a third double bedroom next door. The generous main bathroom is also beautifully renovated, with cream tiles and a corner bath/shower.
The house then opens up to a contemporary, generously proportioned open-plan living area. Pale polished Blackbutt floorboards and high ceilings give the space an airy feel, and the kitchen has Blanco appliances, a good-sized pantry and ample storage, and a stone benchtop and breakfast bar linking it to the dining area, resulting in a great layout for entertaining and family meals.
Off the living area is a laundry/second bathroom, with plenty of storage and a shower and toilet, with access out to a drying courtyard.
French doors lead out to a covered alfresco area with recycled jarrah decking, a built-in outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, and space for a bar fridge. The garden has limestone paving and a limestone feature wall, with lawn and lemon and lime trees adding shade and greenery.
And then there's the location: Bourke Street runs off Oxford Street, and offers a swift commute into the city via Loftus Street. Down the road is the Re Store - great for throwing together a quick Italian dinner - and numerous cafes, a 24-hour supermarket and the Luna Cinema within walking distance, as well as Leederville train station. The amenities of Mount Hawthorn are close by, and the Loftus Centre, library and gym are minutes away on foot. The home is also close to the freeway.
Leederville goes from strength to strength as an inner-city urban hub, with some of Perth's best cafes and restaurants to discover, a newly established farmers' market on Sundays, and a new children's playground. You're also in the catchment for the popular West Leederville Primary School, and for a picnic or some exercise there's beautiful Lake Monger just a brisk walk away.
