63 The Strand, Bayswater, WA 6053

You have to start with your home, right?

There are so many aspects of our lives that give people a sense of who we are. The way we present ourselves, the careers we choose, the cars we drive, our hobbies, who we associate with... it's all part of our overall image. And where we choose to live? That's pretty major. But if what you're wanting to project is charisma, a relaxed attitude, plenty of style, and a dash of sweetness and whimsy, this home has you sorted. It's absolutely charming from the get-go, with the big jacaranda tree and white picket fence setting the scene for the 1950s delight beyond. Painted in a pretty pastel palette both inside and out, this is an immaculately presented 3x1 that'll suit you whether you're solo, coupled up, or a small family unit. The polished timber floorboards, cosy fireplace, and country-style kitchen add some wonderful rustic contrast to the sleek stylings of features such as the plantation shutters and track lighting, and it all combines to conjure up images of what life here could be like: joyful, low maintenance, practical, comfortable, serene. 

And as nice as it is for a home to meet your expectations, this one will actually exceed them. The practicalities are sorted – plentiful storage, a big sturdy oven and cooktop, reverse cycle aircon, reticulated gardens – but so are plenty of extras. The paved alfresco entertaining area out the back is perfectly complemented by the decking and lawn space and it's easy to imagine lazy afternoons spent out here with friends and a few drinks, or quiet mornings cosied up on a day bed with a book and a cuppa. The front verandah is just as appealing, especially with the bit of extra privacy afforded by the house being set back from the road. Would it be indulgent to have a day bed here too? Probably, which is why we encourage it. All the better to daydream with. 

Location-wise, this property offers a snapshot of the peak Bayswater lifestyle: plenty of parks and reserves to enjoy, the convenience of a nearby train station, and a sprinkling of cafes and restaurants to frequent. Get some fresh air at delightful Essex Street Reserve (260m) or take things up a notch at Hillcrest Reserve (700m). it's home to the local footy club, and you can catch regular games or sign up to have a kick yourself. Beaufort Park (450m) is another option should you prefer casual weekends spent with family and friends while the kids wear themselves out on the playground. Start your days with coffee and a feed from any one of the nearby cafes such as Little Picture (1.5km), Kinky Lizard (1.4km), or 3.8 Baysie (1.5km) before heading into the city. Meltham Street station is only 1.2km from your door, making it easy to leave the car home and walk or ride there - because battling for a parking spot is not part of your fantasy lifestyle! Good food, however, definitely is. Grab dinner at local go-tos such as Pizza on Beaufort (550m), Thai Esarn (1.6km), Oscar Kebab (2.3km), or Varsity (2.2km) and you can tick that box too. Suddenly the concept of a perfect life is within reach.
