201 Washington Street simply feels right.
Set on a generous 606m² green title block, this substantial single storey 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence has a calm, grounded presence.
It is big without being showy.
Practical without being plain.
Comfortable now, with the kind of bones that invite the next owner to imagine what it could become.
Solidly built in double brick and tile in 2001, the home offers a scale of living that is difficult to find in Victoria Park.
The front garden creates a lovely sense of arrival.
A wide paved driveway, double carport, verandah and private entry are framed by greenery.
Step inside and the proportions are immediate.
High ceilings, expansive rooms and generous windows give the home a relaxed feeling of light and space.
The large open plan front lounge and dining is a beautiful big room.
Soft carpet, a high ceiling line and a large window to the internal courtyard garden give it a quiet elegance.
It is removed just enough from the main living areas to feel like a retreat, yet still connected to the rest of the home.
The main bedroom is also positioned at the front of the home.
It enjoys a garden outlook, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, curtains, blackout blinds, a walk-in robe, separate built-in robes and ensuite.
The ensuite includes a decadent corner spa bath, shower, vanity and WC.
The heart of the home is where the floor plan really earns its keep.
The kitchen, meals and sitting areas sit together in a large everyday living zone.
There is room to gather without being on top of each other.
Cooking.
Talking.
Reading.
Homework.
Visitors.
A late cup of tea.
The kitchen is large, practical and well placed.
It has generous bench space, gas cooking, wall oven, walk-in pantry, large fridge recess and good storage.
It is immaculately presented and ready to use, while also giving the next owner an obvious opportunity to modernise when the time is right.
A charming enamelled wood fire adds winter warmth and character to the central informal dining area of the home.
Beyond it, the rear lounge gives the home another layer.
With built-in jarrah shelving, cabinetry, a garden outlook and direct access to the undercover alfresco - this is quintessential Western Australian indoor outdoor living.
The generous study nook is a surprise and currently boasts bespoke timber desks, shelving and storage, making it a genuine work-from-home space.
The bedroom layout is practical.
The balance of bedrooms are well separated from the main bedroom.
Built-in robes, ceiling fans, new carpets to three bedrooms and a recently painted interior all speak to the love this home has received over the years.
The accessible main bathroom, with an easily reached toilet, wash basin and open shower with folding seat, is a plus for the less mobile members of the household (designed around accessibility requirements).
A portable ramp can be used to access the front door, sunken lounge and rear of the house.
This is a house that simply works better for more people.
Outside, the home softens again.
The rear garden is quiet, private and established.
There is a covered alfresco, small lawn, mop-top trees screening the back fence, side paths and a powered 3m x 6m shed.
It has shade, texture and a lived-in honesty that is hard to fake.
This is a relaxed leafy established garden.
Stop, slow down and enjoy.
There are also retractable external blinds on the north-western side of the home.
They help create summer shade and can be raised in winter to allow natural warmth.
And there is more...
• Ducted evaporative air-conditioning.
• Reverse-cycle air-conditioning.
• Ceiling fans.
• Gas fire to the lounge.
• Crimsafe screens to most windows and the front door.
• Traditional security screens to the rear bedrooms.
• Alarmed.
• 24 solar panels with Fronius inverter.
• Excellent internal storage.
• Double carport.
• Additional off-street parking.
Washington Street does the rest.
Leafy, quiet and central, it places you close to local schools, parks, public transport, the Perth CBD, and the vibrant Vic Park foodie strip is only a stroll away.
There is a lot to love.
A lot of house.
A lot of land.
A lot of potential.
Inspection is a must.
