Some homes simply have a soul, and this enchanting circa-1900 character gem is one of them.
Hidden away in one of West Leederville's best-kept secrets, just footsteps from the serenity of picturesque Lake Monger, this delightful 2 bedroom 1 bathroom haven wraps you in warmth, charm and tranquility from the very first glance. Beyond its storybook white picket fence, gorgeous weatherboard facade and welcoming verandah entry deck, lies a residence overflowing with original nostalgia, timeless appeal and the kind of cosy comfort that's becoming harder to find with every passing year.
High ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, picture rails and feature skirting are commonplace throughout, with decorative ceiling roses, stylish pendant lights and elegant sash windows gracing a spacious front second bedroom, as well as a huge dining room. The latter neighbours a commodious living area where soaring raked ceilings, split-system air-conditioning, a feature skylight and modern light fittings complement an updated kitchen that is nice and close to where conversation takes place.
Decent pantry storage, double farmhouse-style sinks and subway-tile splashbacks are accompanied by stainless-steel range-hood, free-standing Smeg four-burner gas-cooktop/oven and Esatto dishwasher appliances. A contemporary bathroom/laundry wet area is made up of a relaxing claw-foot bathtub, a separate shower, a powder vanity, a toilet and a separate wash trough with shelves and a skylight up above.
The massive main bedroom next door comprises of a high angled ceiling and its own split-system air-conditioning unit, for climate control. Double French doors off both here and the living room seamlessly extend entertaining out to a large "vergola" deck, overlooked by elevated backyard lawn and a lemon tree.
Also out back are an outdoor wash trough and a separate studio, home office or gym that can be whatever you want it to be - boasting power and double entry doors. A sliding rear access gate to the yard, off the private laneway, is simply an added bonus.
A location this special rarely needs an introduction. Within a stone's throw of the lake and surrounded by leafy parks and family-friendly playgrounds, you'll also appreciate being moments from bustling cafes, restaurants, wine bars, shopping, medical facilities, public transport (including both Leederville and West Leederville Train Stations), the freeway, Perth's CBD and our spectacular coastline. Throw in the prized West Leederville Primary School and Bob Hawke College catchments and you've discovered one of Perth's most enviable lifestyle addresses.
