1/475 Canning Highway, Melville WA 6156

Please note this property is quietly located on the slip road.

This beautiful 3 bedroom 1 bathroom art-deco-style character home has been cleverly extended over the years and recently renovated too, enjoying an enviable location off an easy-to-access street at the very same time.

You will be pleasantly surprised by just how easy parking is here, with space for at least two extra cars in front of your own huge double lock-up garage – complete with a large powered side workshop area and rear access to a large backyard with lawn, established low-maintenance gardens and a private entertaining courtyard with a shade sail up above. The kids can kick a ball and the pets can run round around with minimal fuss, with a massive enclosed north-facing gated front yard just as safe and secure – playing host to several fruit and palm trees, an entry verandah, a sunken paved courtyard for further sitting or entertaining and the potential to install a future swimming pool, if you are that way inclined.

Double front gates from the street reveal extra parking for between 1-2 cars, with a bonus single patio/carport providing cover and protection from the elements for a trailer or boat, if need be. The exterior is completed by a paved back courtyard that provides a second entry into the residence, alongside an additional east-facing courtyard/terrace where contemplation and relaxation is just that little bit quieter.

Inside this original Californian bungalow, soaring high ceilings, gleaming wooden Jarrah floorboards, Italian floor tiles, intricate art-deco roof detailing, decorative ceiling cornices, striking ceiling roses and tall feature skirting boards allow your imagination to be captured, as you take an enchanting journey back through time.

A carpeted front master bedroom is spacious in size and leads into a carpeted dressing room – or parents’ retreat – with floor-to-wall-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes, as well as access out to the side terrace. The commodious front lounge room welcomes you with its split-system air-conditioning unit and gas log fireplace, with double doors revealing a private dining room and its gorgeous chandelier light fitting.

Easy-care floors grace a revamped central kitchen that oozes modern quality in the form of sleek Caesar Stone bench tops, a breakfast bar for casual meals, stylish pendant light fittings, tempered glass splashbacks, an integrated range hood, a Fisher and Paykel Induction cooktop, a separate oven of the same brand, a stainless-steel Fisher and Paykel dishwasher and an integrated Beko microwave. A large separate family room doubles personal living options with its own split-system, a gas bayonet, high raked ceilings and direct terrace access.

The second bedroom is of a decent size, also allows you to step out on to the “morning” terrace, whilst a huge third bedroom at the rear has low-maintenance timber-look floors, a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning and backyard access. The updated bathroom comes complete with a shower, separate bathtub, a feature skylight and twin stone vanities, whilst the laundry has built-in clothing baskets, alongside a stone bench top, a separate toilet, ample storage and a door leading out to the courtyard. Doubling as a breezeway, the tiled back utility area has more built-in storage and is where the home’s alternative entry lies.

Excellent storage area under house accessed from the outside.

There is public transport right outside your front door, while sprawling Swan River parklands can be found nearby, as can excellent schools and wonderful community sporting facilities. Shopping at Westfield Booragoon is only 10 minutes away, pristine swimming beaches are just 15 minutes away and Fremantle is within a very close proximity, adding convenience to this property’s overall charm and nostalgia. Vintage chic awaits you here – and isn’t it just fantastic?!
