Nestled securely behind a red-brick wall on the corner of Beaufort and Drummond, this is one of those Bedford homes that has it all: character, generous land, a sought-after postcode and ample room to grow. Classic 1930s architecture, rendered walls, a gabled roofline, tall chimney and terracotta tiles meet thoughtful modern updates for an effortless balance of character and contemporary family living.
Step inside and the home's character greets you: soaring ceilings with intricate stepped plasterwork, picture rails, warm jarrah floorboards and diamond leadlight windows casting coloured light across the rooms.
The entry sets the tone, framed by leaded and patterned glass and wide enough to properly welcome you home. Off it, the front lounge is the heart-stealer, a genuinely grand room anchored by a stepped Art Deco fireplace with a jarrah mantel and twin original leaded-glass cabinets built into the chimney recesses. Cavity doors slide back on both sides, allowing you to open the room to the dining space when entertaining or close it off when you want somewhere quieter to retreat.
The dining room continues the story in soft sage, with a leaded casement framing the garden and a wide opening through to the kitchen, the sort of layout that works as well for Sunday roasts as it does for weeknight dinners. The kitchen itself is crisp and bright, with granite benchtops, white cabinetry, a subway-tiled splashback, freestanding gas cooker, dishwasher and a window over the sink that keeps an eye on the garden.
It rolls into a relaxed family and study zone with a built-in desk, opening directly through sliding doors to the deck. Character, space and easy modern living.
Three bedrooms sit comfortably apart, all generously sized. The main is a beauty, with a panelled feature wall, ornate ceiling and diamond leadlight casements opening to green. The updated main bathroom pairs classic detailing with everyday functionality, featuring white tiling, a deep bath and separate shower, while a second bathroom and laundry make family life easy.
Then the home truly opens up. A pitched, timber-lined alfresco creates a substantial outdoor living and entertaining space, with ceiling fans, festoon lights and room for a ten-seat table and then some. Rich jarrah decking steps down to herringbone brick paving and a level lawn, surrounded by established gardens, clipped hedges and mature trees. There's even a raised cubby house with a slide for the kids. Private, north-friendly and built for long lunches that drift into the evening.
Out front, the corner block delivers rare street frontage, a wide brick-paved driveway and a garage accessed from Drummond Street, a no-through road that keeps passing traffic to a minimum on that side. Directly across from Beaufort Park and moments from Beaufort Street's cafes and restaurants, quality schools and parklands, and an easy run into the city.
A character-filled Bedford home offering generous proportions, effortless indoor-outdoor living and genuine room to grow, all on a substantial corner block in a location you'll be proud to call home.
