Having only ever been owned by the one family since it was built back in 1956, this spacious and contemporary 4-5 bedroom 3 bathroom two-storey home exudes a timeless charm that can only come from decades of cherished memories, offering functional, flexible and versatile multi-generational living at the very same time.
This superb residence on a massive block embodies a unique blend of heritage and modern comfort. From the moment you step foot inside, you're enveloped in a sense of history and belonging.
The front part of the house (an old 2x1 war-service bungalow) consists of a carpeted front lounge room with split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, an electric heater and double sliders for privacy, as well as a huge second/guest bedroom with its own split-system air-conditioner, a fan and built-in wardrobes/storage, a large third bedroom with the same and an intimate second bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity.
Beyond the residence’s origins, you will discover a central 2016-renovated kitchen and open-plan family and dining area with a generous under-stair storeroom, low-maintenance timber-look flooring, split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, sparkling stone bench tops, a breakfast bar for quick bites, a pull-out double-door storage pantry, double Franke sinks, a range hood, Siemens oven and five-burner gas-cooktop and stainless-steel-dishwasher appliances of the same brand.
Complete with its own external side access, the spacious carpeted theatre – or games – room can be whatever you want it to be, from a 5th bedroom to a home office that also has its own split-system for climate control, as well as a gas bayonet for winter heating. Staying downstairs, a separate second living quarters is ideal as either a teenager’s retreat or accommodation for older-generation family members, boasting a fully-tiled 2017-renovated “third” bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity, a double sliding-door linen press, a massive carpeted “fourth” bedroom with built-in double robes, a fan and split-system air-conditioner and an open-plan living, meals and second-kitchen area with its own small rear verandah, French-door access to the backyard, two ceiling fans, split-system air-conditioning, an electric cooktop, a DeLonghi oven, double sinks, an appliance nook and a corner pantry for good measure.
Upstairs, an enormous carpeted “parents’ retreat” has a ceiling fan, a gas bayonet and French-door access out to its own fabulous front balcony with sweeping tree-lined views of the Perth city skyline and our picturesque Swan River. A giant king-sized master suite shares a similar vista, alongside a fan, split-system air-conditioning, a large walk-in robe, a separate toilet and a light and bright ensuite with a shower and separate bathtub.
Outdoor access from the lower-level family room to the alfresco (with storage) and a pitched patio-entertaining area is rather seamless and also reveals a private backyard with low-maintenance turf and gardens, plus a powered garden shed with a handy storage lean-to attached to it.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the corner to grab a coffee, lunch or dinner from anywhere within the buzzing Davis Road precinct, whilst the river foreshore itself, Santa Maria College, Attadale Primary School and Mel Maria Catholic Primary School are also nearby and very within arm’s reach. A plethora of lush local parklands, public transport, shopping, the Point Water Golf Course and Reserve, the heart of Fremantle and so much more – it’s all only a few minutes away from your front door, for the utmost in living convenience.
Now, this storied abode eagerly awaits its next chapter, inviting you to become part of its enduring legacy!
