Perfectly positioned on an elevated corner block in one of Floreat's most family-friendly neighbourhoods, this 1940's character home blends timeless appeal with everyday practicality and warmth.
One of the area's earliest residences, it continues to shine with art deco charm. True vintage hallmarks include beautifully decorative high ceilings, polished jarrah floors, and original timber windows and doors creating a sense of openness and timeless character throughout.
As you enter, a welcoming veranda offers a peaceful spot for watching the world pass by, overlooking lush wrap around gardens, a stunning liquidambar tree and glimpses of the city skyline.
Inside, the functional floorplan features three bedrooms (plus a study, nursery, or walk-in robe accessed through the master bedroom) and two renovated bathrooms. An under-croft cellar offers extensive storage, while a double carport at the rear completes the home's practical layout.
This property is perfectly situated within a tight knit, welcoming community, offering easy access to Floreat Forum, The Herdsman Market, local parks, and schools including Floreat Park Primary and Shenton College. It represents a rare opportunity to either renovate the existing character-filled cottage or design and build your dream home in one of Floreat's most cherished streets.
Beyond its charm, this home is also a much-loved community landmark. Renowned locally for its spectacular Christmas, Halloween, and Easter decorations, it has become a must-visit destination for hundreds of children each Halloween, and a place where families regularly stop to enjoy the magical Christmas lights illuminating the front garden and trees. The expansive gardens offer countless special spots for children to hunt for Easter eggs, creating unforgettable memories and a genuine sense of neighbourhood spirit.
