Built circa 1930 and thoughtfully reimagined for the way families live today, this character home blends jarrah floorboards, leadlight windows and picture rails with a fully renovated, free-flowing floor plan on a generous 814sqm.
Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged across two distinct wings. At the front, a formal lounge with gas fireplace and a separate formal dining room flank the entry, with three bedrooms including a new master suite with walk-in robe and twin-vanity ensuite set privately to one side. A separate rear wing holds a huge sunken games room and a fourth bedroom with its own ensuite and courtyard access, equally suited to parents, guests or older children.
The open-plan family, meals and kitchen area is the heart of the home with engineered stone benchtops, a breakfast bar and Bosch appliances opening onto established gardens, with new Buffalo lawns front and back giving the kids and pets plenty of room to run, and scope to add a pool at the front or rear.
Positioned towards the southern end of Bruce Street, you're just moments from Melvista Park, Nedlands Golf Club and Nedlands Tennis Club, with the river only a short stroll away as well as easy access to Perth's top private schools. UWA and the city are also within easy reach.
Nearly a century old, and built for exactly how you live now.
