Level-up but stay local.
You know what's exceptional? A true classic '60s home that's enjoyed a modern glow-up and still leaves room for you to add your own flair. That's exactly what's on offer here with this charming duplex half. It's been freshened up where it counts - reconstituted stone benchtops in the updated kitchen, air conditioning, fans, and downlights, timber decked alfresco out the back - but it hasn't lost its original character. Which is exactly what makes it so special; there's a distinct and welcome lack of sterile, copy-paste feel here. Instead, you'll get warmth, personality, and still plenty of spots to make it more 'you'. The open-plan living is air conditioned and filled with natural light, the kitchen layout is positively gloriously functional (pull-out pantry and breakfast bar for the win), and both bedrooms are generously sized, so no one feels second best. Plus, there's a bonus sleepout area. It's currently doing a smashing job as a study, but it's totally flexible depending on what you've got going on - now and down the track. Don't we love a versatile space?! The real showstopper, though, is out the back. This yard absolutely nails it when it comes to being expansive and long lunch ready: there's that gorgeous Jarrah decked alfresco area you're going to positively adore come the warmer months. Add in the bonus shed, full-length driveway, and plenty of parking and you've got yourself a ripper place that's ready to grow with you.
Location-wise, you're right in the thick of it. Beaufort Street (45m) is literally steps away so there's every reason for the best coffee and catch-ups with your favourite folk. No need to even find the car keys. Stretch your legs at Beaufort Park (550m) or Hillcrest Reserve (550m), then refuel at Red Man Cucina (1.8km), Cecchi's (1.1km), Our Table (1.5km), or Djangos (1.5km) - all local legends for the good-food inspired. Need essentials? Coles Inglewood (1.2km), Bedford IGA (1.5km), and Aldi (1.8km) have your back. For full retail therapy, Morley Galleria (2.0km) has all the big names. Schools are also all easy access: John Forrest Secondary College (900m), Hillcrest Primary School (550m), and Chisholm Catholic College (140m) - literally around the corner. And when it's time to head into the city, the CBD is a cruisy 6.2km away - hop on any of the buses that come along Beaufort. Basically, you're surrounded by perks, parks, and pasta; what's not to love?
Hit Alannah or Jade up now (call or email). Or rock up to the home open.
Parking: As parking along Lawrence Street is limited, we recommend using the cul-de-sac off Broun Avenue, the Beaufort Street cul-de-sac in front of Chisholm College, or parking along Perth Street and walking down.
