Offered to the market for the very first time since its construction in 1966, this much-loved family home presents a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Curtin's history.

Combining original character with modern comforts and exciting possibilities, this is a wonderful opportunity for a new family to create their own lasting memories.
Stepping inside to the front entrance, you're welcomed into the formal living and dining area, a warm and inviting space that enjoys beautiful natural light through large north-facing windows overlooking the established front garden and leafy street. Soft carpet underfoot and a combination of sheer and blackout roller blinds create a comfortable setting, perfect for relaxing with family or enjoying quieter moments away from the main living areas.
Moving through the home, the central kitchen and family living area retain a lovely sense of the home's original charm. The kitchen offers practical storage, including a full walk-in pantry, and is equipped with a freestanding Fisher & Paykel electric cooktop and oven. Hybrid timber-look flooring brings a fresh, contemporary touch to the space, while extension, completed in 1978, added the adjoining living area provides a relaxed setting for everyday family life.
The thoughtfully designed extension, introduced the generously proportioned main bedroom, privately positioned away from the remaining bedrooms. This oversized retreat enjoys lovely northern sunshine, soft carpet underfoot and a walk-in robe. The beautifully renovated ensuite adds a modern touch, featuring floor-to-ceiling tiling, a contemporary vanity with generous storage, recessed mirrored cabinetry and a window providing natural ventilation.
The home's original main bedroom is equally impressive in size, enjoying large north-facing windows, two spacious built-in robes and a split-system air conditioner. The additional bedrooms are well appointed, with built-in wardrobes and lovely natural light.

Servicing these bedrooms is a thoughtfully updated main bathroom, complete with a separate bathtub and shower, a vanity with ample storage and recessed cabinetry. A separate toilet adds everyday convenience, while the laundry provides a large storage cupboard and direct access to the backyard.
Outside, the backyard is a true highlight of the property, offering an abundance of space rarely found in such a convenient location. A large, level lawn provides the perfect setting for backyard cricket and children to run and play, while beautiful, mature trees create a lovely balance of shade, privacy and open sunny spaces. A paved entertaining area offers plenty of room for outdoor dining, weekend barbecues and family gatherings, while a substantial garden shed provides valuable additional storage.
