Close to the Birkdale Street shopping precinct, public transport and local parkland, this beautifully presented mid-century home is walking distance to just about everything and will appeal to buyers looking for character, convenience, a low maintenance lifestyle and an affordable entry point into this premier suburb.
With undercover parking for two cars behind a secure gate, this lovely home offers a charming welcome via its classic raised verandah, a perfect spot to capture the sea breeze on warm summer evenings.
Inside, the home exhibits genuine vintage hallmarks, with high, decorative ceilings, picture rails, exquisite art deco leadlight doors and windows and original jarrah floors. Extended over the years, the surprisingly large interior includes four comfortably sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 large living areas, including an open plan kitchen/meals/family room.
To the left of the entrance, a large master bedroom overlooks the garden, while the second bedroom, to the right, offers the perfect space for a nursery, home office or guest room. Both rooms feature high, decorative ceilings and stunning leadlight windows and are serviced by an adjacent family bathroom.
The nearby loungeroom is a delightful space, again featuring decorative ceilings, leadlight windows and an open fireplace. Together, these rooms provide a distinct "parents' zone", a welcome retreat from the day-to-day business of family life.
Beyond here, the home has been thoughtfully extended to include a generous, open plan kitchen/dining/family area with a prized northern orientation. The functional kitchen provides an opportunity for further enhancement, either in the existing space overlooking the family room, or perhaps by extending into the large adjacent dining area. Whatever you choose, herein lies the freedom to add your own personal touch to this classic character property.
Bathed in natural light from north facing windows, the large family room enjoys high vaulted ceilings and lovely views to the garden, an ideal setting for day to day living. 2 children's bedrooms, the laundry and a family bathroom extend from this area, providing ideal separation, comfort and space for the entire family.
Outdoors, the secure back garden is bathed in northern light and offers a safe, private play area for children with ample space for a trampoline or cubby house.
Positioned on a generous 518sqm block, the location is extremely convenient, with easy access to Subiaco, Leederville, Claremont and the beach, as well as direct public transport to the city and Claremont. Mere steps from the popular Birkdale St shops, this home is close to local cafes and restaurants, doctors' surgery and pharmacy. Located within the coveted Shenton College catchment, many of Perth's best sporting facilities, major hospitals and the University of Western Australia, are also within easy reach.
A must-see for downsizers, professional couples, or young families seeking to establish themselves in the Floreat area, please contact Helen to register your interest!
