Behind a gorgeous classic white picket fence lies this charming 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom character home, filled with century-old nostalgia and graced by a combination of space and stylish finishes that help encourage easy living in a central and convenient West Leederville location.
The residence's traditional gabled roof and covered front porch create an inviting feel, while the surrounding greenery and mature trees provide a peaceful and private setting for all. High feature ceilings, solid timber floors, picture rails and ceiling roses help preserve the property's original heritage of yesteryear.
A huge master-bedroom retreat at the front of the house features a sash window, split-system air-conditioning, a gas bayonet and a striking corner fireplace. The front second bedroom is also massive, whilst a large third bedroom has a feature corner fireplace of its own.
The spacious central lounge room is kept comfortable all year-round by a split-system air-conditioning unit. The country-style open-plan kitchen and dining area keeps meals separate from conversation, comprising of another split-system air-conditioner, a servery window into the lounge, a storage pantry, double sinks, an original Metters stove, a Chef gas-upright cooker and lovely views out to a sunken north-facing backyard - with lawn, a sitting courtyard under the trees and shade, a large outdoor laundry (with storage and a double wash trough), an outdoor powder room and even an outdoor rain shower. All accompanied by the sounds of chirping local birdlife singing away, up in the surrounding treetops.
Back inside, the separate bathroom defines warmth with its timber-clad walls and ceilings, claw-foot bathtub, separate shower, vanity, toilet and direct access into the living room. There is plenty of scope to add your own personal modern touches and even extend the existing abode, if you are that way inclined. The generous block size would also be perfect for your family's dream masterpiece later down the track, when all of the stars align.
Embrace living mere footsteps away from lush green neighbourhood parks and picturesque Lake Monger Reserve around the corner, with fantastic playgrounds, the freeway, public transport (including the Leederville and West Leederville Train Stations), cafes, restaurants, wine bars, shopping, medical facilities, the city, the coast and top schools - namely the highly-regarded catchment zones for both West Leederville Primary School and Bob Hawke College in neighbouring Subiaco - all only minutes from your front door, in their own right. What a splendid place to call home!
