Discreetly positioned behind a vine covered limestone wall, this gracious and welcoming single level Federation home is charming and beautiful. Set amongst gorgeous landscaped gardens filled with hedges, lush topiary trees and climbing star jasmine, the home's classic features combined with the modern conveniences every family desires. With deep architectural roots, it offers a compelling blend of the ornate and the understated, where design, craftsmanship and liveability coalesce.
A wide, wrap around veranda welcomes visitors into the home, setting the tone for what lies within. Soaring ceilings, spacious rooms, intricate corniced ceilings, high skirting boards, sash windows and original jarrah floorboards blend beautifully with a modern extension and renovated bathrooms. All of the elements speak to a time when homes were made by hand, and detail mattered. The home offers a stunning formal lounge/dining room, three king sized bedrooms, one smaller bedroom/study, two bathrooms, a laundry, secure parking for two cars (a third car can be parked in the driveway) and an open plan family/meals area and kitchen.
Move through to the rear of the home and you'll find a light-filled extension. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated and features granite benchtops, hybrid flooring, extensive cabinetry, Miele appliances and space for a double fridge plus a wine fridge.
The master bedroom has a large ensuite with a bath, shower, double vanity and WC as well as a walk-in robe. Two large bedrooms are fit for a queen, featuring ceiling roses, high ceilings and fitted with plantation and/or window treatments while overlooking the manicured gardens. The fourth bedroom or study is perfectly appointed and features built in robes and shelving. Both bathrooms have been recently renovated, paying homage to the era of the home. The separate laundry is well appointed, close to the rear courtyard, clothesline and storage shed.
Brimming with warmth and soul, this is a wonderful home for down sizers, singles, couples and small families who appreciate the innate and irreplaceable charm of a character home with the river, parks and modern conveniences on your doorstep.
