OPEN BY APPOINTMENT

Imagine the tales this wonderful house could tell, the changes it has witnessed! Originally built in 1910 by a father and his sons as the best wedding present ever for his daughter, who raised her family and resided here until 2008, this magnificent home has only been owned by one other family since!! That family, too, has been nestled and nurtured and grown and flown the nest, so now it is time for a new story to begin, another chapter to be written within these solid walls.

I have always loved this house, it looks so awesome and intriguing from the outside. Obviously one of the originals. A real call back to the Australiana of yesteryear, giving off a country homestead vibe, with its wrap around veranda shading the thick, solid walls from the Western sun and such a grand presence with its wide street frontage. But it was not until I entered this stunning, renovated home that I realised just what a standout this exceptional property really is. With extra huge rooms, polished jarrah boards, wide passages, and high ceilings with Art Deco styling which is what captured my heart.

Recently updated, the house has been fully rewired and fitted with ducted, zoned reverse cycle air conditioning. The new kitchen sits to the rear, offering an induction cooktop, electric oven, double wide fridge nook, a huge pantry and loads of storage, wide warm timber benches, a breakfast bar island, and a double sink looking out across the veranda to the spacious gardens beyond. Adjoining is a dining room big enough to host a grand banquet, which leads through to the central oversized lounge room. The photos just don't do these spaces justice, this house is truly massive!

The two front bedrooms are huge, double king sized, with plenty of space for a home office or sitting area. The third bedroom is queen sized and the fourth is a double. The main bathroom, with a bath, shower and toilet, is at the centre of the home, and was redone a few years back. The second washroom is newly renovated and sits at the rear of the house, offering a shower, toilet, and laundry combo, so you can rinse off and chuck your gear in the wash after a day at the beach.

Sitting on a huge 733 m2 corner lot, zoned R20/R25, this property could not be more ideal for a family wanting their kids to grow up enjoying the same Aussie childhood they enjoyed, playing backyard cricket in the summer, footy in winter, picking fruit off their own trees, and there's still plenty of room to park a boat, a caravan, and all the cars. 

This property also presents an excellent opportunity to retain and subdivide (subject to relevant approvals), creating a second street front lot to sell, build your dream home on, or build a house for your Mum and Dad to move into (built in babysitters!) or those grown children who still haven't quite flown the nest yet.... The possibilities are endless...
