Charming character, three bedroom home in great condition ready to move in.
A traditional entrance porch under main tiled roof greets and shelters you and your guests. Entering the home, you will notice that period design features have been retained to give a picture of class and sophistication. The house has been cleverly opened with widened doorways from entry to the lounge, dining, and kitchen giving a surprising feeling of space - a home that feels much bigger than expected.
Beautiful, wide polished hardwood floors flow from the entry foyer into the inviting lounge room that is all class. It has the modern comforts too, with reverse cycle air-conditioning along with alternative heating from a built-in slow combustion fireplace, with original feature mantle over, or even use the gas bayonet. Ornate architraves surround the wide opening to the dining room, large enough for you to seat and dine 6 to 8 comfortably.
The kitchen has been tastefully modernised with new, but period sensitive, built-in appliances. Oak timber look doors to wrap around cabinets with plenty of bench space to prepare and serve from. It will be the centre and heart of your home.
Three bedrooms are made up of a king-sized master with polished hardwood floors and 11-foot ornate ceilings, leadlight windows and timber venetian blinds.
The second bedroom is queen-sized and has carpet over the wooden boards with 11-foot high ceilings and the same window treatments. These two rooms are either side of the modernised bathroom and enjoy a degree of separation.
The third bedroom leads off the dining area on the other side of the home, through two re-purposed period stained glass doors, and is double-sized providing flexibility, and currently used as a home office with carpeted floors and built-in robe.
A built-in sunroom opens to an outdoor roofed timber deck which overlooks a large back yard, where original brick pathways take you through the garden to a rear fenced below ground swimming pool (pool requires refurbishment), with hedge of trees across the rear of the property providing privacy.
The location of the home provides amazing convenience - drive, ride or walk. There is a lock-up garage for your car and extra off-road parking behind front brick fence with picket infill. You could leave your cars home and walk to everything with cafes, restaurants, convenience stores and pubs around the corner on Beaufort Street. You can bus it in minutes to Mt Lawley and Perth CBD. Local lower and senior schools are walking distance or just a bike ride away.
Some options are:
- You can move in and live right now;
- There is loads of space to renovate or extend either back or upwards;
- By removing the side garage and rear side room you can create access to subdivide, leaving the existing home and another block; then sell off both or either properties;
- Or build a 2-storey home with city views on the rear block
There are many possibilities which make this property much more than just the lovely, stylish home that is ready to live in.
