Gracefully standing since 1935 and thoughtfully revitalised in recent years, this enchanting character home beautifully balances timeless charm with modern refinement in one of Rivervale's most tightly held pockets. Set proudly on a 553sqm corner allotment at the top end of Rivervale, this classic Californian bungalow captures the romance of a bygone era while delivering the comfort and functionality today's families seek.
From the moment you step through the front door, the welcoming foyer offers a charming place to pause and sets the tone for what lies beyond. Exquisite ornate ceilings, intricate leadlight windows, original chandeliers and doors, and soaring ceilings immediately create a sense of history and craftsmanship rarely found today.
The spacious lounge, complete with a gas fireplace, is a warm and inviting gathering place, where rich Jarrah floorboards and an uplifting colour palette enhance the home's character. Throughout the renovation, great care has been taken to preserve its old-world charm while introducing modern enhancements with sensitivity and style.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen features stone benchtops, breakfast bar, an oversized sink, stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage, along with generous preparation space ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. There is an additional second lounge and a separate dining room highlighted by an ornate fireplace, while the front sunroom/study provides superb versatility as a light-filled home office, reading retreat, or additional living zone.
Three generously sized bedrooms ensure comfortable accommodation, with the master enjoying air conditioning for year-round comfort. The ensuite bathroom has been stylishly renovated in keeping with the home's heritage, featuring white subway tiles, a stunning bathtub with overhead shower, gold tapware, and a spectacular feature tiled wall. The second bathroom remains in its original condition, offering further scope. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to create a home that feels refined, welcoming, and completely move-in ready.
Step outside and you will discover a decked timber patio complete with drop-down clear blinds, creating the perfect setting for year-round entertaining. This inviting outdoor zone overlooks a secure, fully fenced yard where children and pets can play safely. The gardens have been designed for low-maintenance living, and two practical garden sheds provides additional storage for tools and equipment.
