Welcome to 47 Ivanhoe Street, Bassendean, a character-filled five-bedroom home offering comfortable family living, modern improvements and exciting future potential.
Dating back to circa 1915, the home was originally built for a local blacksmith and his family. During the First World War, letters sent home by one of the family's sons serving in France were later published in Western Australian newspapers, giving the property a fascinating connection to Bassendean's early history.
Today, the home retains many of its period features, including high and pressed-tin ceilings, fireplaces, leadlight French doors, jarrah detailing and a generous verandah. These are complemented by a renovated kitchen, laundry and updated bathroom, two W/Cs and updated paintwork in key areas.
The dining area flows directly to the outdoor space, while the verandah provides a relaxing place to enjoy the established surroundings year-round.
Outside, the powered shed with loft offers excellent versatility for storage, a workshop or possible future conversion into a granny flat, subject to the necessary approvals. The backyard also includes established fruit trees, ample parking and a water tank at the front yard.
Positioned on approximately 910sqm, the property provides generous outdoor space and plenty of opportunity to add further value.
