Overview

A Timeless Art Deco Treasure with Soul, Character & Spectacular Sunsets

Some homes simply provide a place to live. Others tell a story. In an era when so many of Australia's beautiful Art Deco homes have disappeared, this enchanting residence stands as a rare reminder of a more elegant time. Built when Armadale's local policeman patrolled the streets by bicycle, this remarkable home has been lovingly preserved while updated in parts for modern living. Set behind a charming picket fence and framed by an established, manicured front garden, this captivating three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence showcases what buyers adore about early-century architecture. From its high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and stunning timber floors to its leadlight doors, graceful, curved lines and generous verandah, it exudes warmth, craftsmanship and timeless appeal. Designed with generous proportions throughout, the wide hallways create a wonderful sense of space, while the large living areas and bedrooms offer comfort not always found in modern dwellings. The kitchen, bathroom and laundry have been renovated over time, blending contemporary convenience with the home's enduring character. Positioned to capture breathtaking sunsets over the coastal plain, the expansive front verandah has long been a favourite gathering place for family and friends. It's the perfect setting for enjoying the spectacular City of Armadale fireworks from the comfort of this elevated home.
