Big block, big bones and even bigger dreams - this solid and spacious 4 bedroom 2 bathroom brick family classic is sitting pretty on a prized Nedlands quarter-acre, with a future limited only by your imagination.
Comfortable, generous and brimming with untapped potential, this much-loved home presents a rare opportunity to embrace the charm and substance of yesterday while deciding exactly what tomorrow might look like. Architect-designed by its original owner for himself and his family, this much-loved home offers a wonderful sense of individuality and character. Add a few stylish modern touches, embark on a spectacular renovation, extend to accommodate your growing family or simply enjoy everything as it stands while those grand plans quietly take shape.
And if your heart is set on something entirely new? The expansive landholding provides a magnificent "blank canvas" for a future dream-home masterpiece, where your architectural ambitions can take centre stage, subject to the relevant approvals of course.
For now though, the residence's lush frontage and lawn, complete with its gracious avocado tree, ties in with its lovely leafy locale, with a large verandah stepping into a formal entry foyer with a skylight and powder room. The verandah also enjoys separate access into a welcoming front lounge room with wooden floorboards, a feature ceiling, shelves and splendid garden views.
A large walk-in storeroom/linen press in this part of the house has its own clerestory window for natural light, neighbouring a generous formal dining room with low-maintenance timber-look flooring, two skylights, storage and both foyer and kitchen access. The charming kitchen itself is functional, playing host to character timber cabinetry, an over-sized walk-in pantry, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a separate double-door storage pantry, two skylights, a breakfast bench with a servery window into the main living space, a Westinghouse four-burner electric cooktop, a separate fan-forced oven/grill of the same brand and a verdant backyard aspect to savour.
Single foyer and kitchen doors lead into an expansive open-plan family and casual-meals area where high ceilings come to the fore, alongside split-system air-conditioning, shelves/storage and access out to a paved open pergola courtyard for shaded entertaining amidst the birdlife and backyard greenery. Also at the rear lies a large garden or workshop shed, with the vast backyard sanctuary playing host to abundant trees, lots of shade, a clothesline and heaps of room for a future swimming pool or studio, if you are that way inclined.
Back inside, a separate study - or home office - has timber floors and a multi-person workstation with desks and storage. A single door shuts off the sleeping quarters from the family room.
There, a second walk-in linen cupboard and a generous laundry with more storage and double stainless-steel wash troughs meet a separate side-access door from the garden, a separate second toilet, a carpeted master bedroom with bedside storage, floor-to-wall-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and storage cupboards, backyard access and a pleasant north-facing aspect to wake up to, two practical bathrooms with vanity basins (one with a bathtub and the other with a walk-in shower) and three carpeted spare bedrooms - each boasting full-height built-in robes/storage, shelves and their own window outlooks to the yard.
With sprawling Melvista Park waiting at the bottom of the street - home to the Nedlands Golf, Croquet, Tennis and Bridge Clubs - your weekends are practically sorted before they've even begun. A fabulous selection of local restaurants, shopping options, convenient bus services and the new Nedlands Square Shopping Centre and Woolworths supermarket only add to the everyday appeal, while Nedlands Primary School, the picturesque Swan River and its beautiful surrounding parklands, Nedlands Yacht Club and a host of other fantastic sporting clubs are all wonderfully close to home.
Throw in the world-class shopping and dining delights of Claremont Quarter, prestigious Christ Church Grammar School, Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College and Shenton College, plus first-class medical facilities, the University of Western Australia, Fremantle, the coast, Kings Park and the Perth CBD, and you've got yourself a location that ticks just about every box imaginable.
Revamp a little, reinvent a lot or start from scratch when the time is right - this is the beauty of owning a classic family-sized Nedlands block, where the land is golden, the possibilities are plentiful and the next chapter is entirely yours to write!
