Home to the same owners since being constructed in 1961, 97 Glengariff Drive embodies many of the hallmarks of its era and is ready to be embraced by a new generation.
An early project by architect Tony Brand, the home has a mid-century modern pedigree ripe for renovation. Its configuration with main house and separate self-contained outbuilding linked by a covered courtyard offers flexibility of occupation and huge potential for adaptation to suit our contemporary lifestyle. The main house incorporates 3 bedrooms, main bathroom and separate toilet, laundry, kitchen, lounge and dining spaces all accessed off a parquet floored entrance and hallway. Many rooms include original built in timber cabinetry, light fixtures and wallpapers, lending character and authenticity to the spaces.
The outbuilding houses a living/study space, bedroom and bathroom, perfect for independent living or working from home. The established gardens are reticulated by a bore and have been lovingly tended by the owners over the decades and even include an original Hills Hoist for good measure. A sweeping driveway leads to a covered double carport providing plenty of off street parking.
Alternatively, the level 850sqm site, with its long northerly aspect could be the perfect location for your brand new family home. While plans are being prepared the existing home is liveable or could be tenanted to provide a rental return and offset holding costs.
It is rare to find a property that offers so many options and is located in such a desirable location in the coveted 'west of the forum' precinct of Floreat, surrounded by established homes and close to amenities including Bold Park, Perry Lakes, Wembley Golf Course, Roscommon Bushland, Floreat and City Beaches.
Floreat offers a community focused lifestyle for all ages, especially young families. Close to nature with beaches, parks and bushland on your doorstep, yet accessible to the CBD, Claremont and Subiaco, its amenities and location ensure properties in this beautiful garden suburb are always in demand.
Located in the Churchlands High School catchment and accessible to private schools including Hale School, St Mary's Anglican Girls' School, John XXIII and Newman College, there is much to offer residents of this premium suburb, as evidenced by the current owners who enjoyed over 60 happy years here.
In so many ways this is your opportunity to acquire a piece of history and create a new legacy in one of Floreat's most sought after streets.
