Nestled in the vibrant inner-western suburb of Croydon Park, this beautifully maintained mid-century home awaits its next chapter after almost seven decades with its original owners.
The front garden's manicured lawns and shrubs, visible behind stylish wrought- iron fencing, give this impressive offering immediate street appeal.
Inside, this solid double-brick home is a veritable time capsule of highly sought-after Art Deco design features, including 3m high ceilings, decorative cornices and mint-condition medallions, etched glass doors, and original jarrah floorboards preserved beneath terracotta-coloured lino.
The front-facing lounge room features the original fireplace, bordered in rich burgundy tiles and flanked by mid-century display shelves. Exquisitely etched glass double doors separate the lounge room from the spacious kitchen and dining area. Here, the curved benchtops, overhead glass cabinets, and combined Chef stove/oven neatly blend character with modern convenience.
Natural light bounces throughout three spacious bedrooms, two of which contain quality built-in wardrobes. The bathroom showcases some of the most-loved features of this era: green terrazzo flooring, pink wall tiles, and a deep blue bathtub beside an etched glass shower cubicle and a separate toilet.
Both the kitchen and laundry provide access to the fully covered back verandah that runs the full width of the house - a perfect space to enjoy time outdoors with family and friends.
The backyard comprises expansive lawns and established trees that deliver fresh produce throughout the seasons, including lemons, apricots, peaches, figs, loquats, avocados and pomegranates. This homegrown feast is watered by automated drip irrigation.
The electronically operated sliding front gate leads to the single-car garage, complete with its own pit for the home mechanic. Two extra cars can be securely parked in the driveway with access to the backyard through the garage or double side gates.
Perched on a huge 700sqm block with a wide frontage of almost 20 metres, this timeless and rare property presents numerous options - customise, renovate and extend, subdivide, redevelop, or enjoy this slice of history just as it is, in a prime postcode less than 5km from the CBD and close to great local shops, playgrounds, restaurants and cafes.
