Set among soaring trees on a huge block, this two-story home is a delightful shady haven that offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and a business or family opportunity.
From the driveway, a path takes you through the lush gardens to a veranda where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful views of Bill Bennett Park opposite.
Step inside and you'll find a large living area. This serene space boasts park and garden views, double doors to the veranda, a gas-log fire for winter comfort and air conditioning.
The layout flows through to a dining area with built-in cabinetry and an alcove with sliding doors to a patio that catches the winter sun and is a charming spot to relax with a coffee.
Off the dining area is the kitchen with a suite of stainless-steel appliances, ample storage, and a servery window.
Also on this floor is the master bedroom with built-in robes and garden and park outlook, a second bedroom/study with built-in robes and the main bathroom with shower, vanity unity and toilet.
what was once the rear veranda has been converted to a sunroom that has access to the laundry which also has bathroom facilities.
Now this is where the magic and opportunity begin.
An extension in the early 1990s added a second story. This space can be a living area, parents' retreat or bedroom and can also be divided into two bedrooms if needed. Plus it is accessed via a foyer, which has a separate external entry, meaning the space can also be used to run a business from home with clients not needing to enter via the main residence.
Set at the back of the home is a granny flat. It can be accessed through a second foyer and also has its own entrance. It's a great opportunity for multi-generational living (both for older relatives or adult children who either haven't flown the coop or have returned home). Or you could rent it out for an additional income stream.
It has a living/dining area, kitchenette and bathroom on the ground floor, with another extension providing up two bedrooms upstairs, or a bedroom and study/craft room etc.
Outside, the backyard is a children's dream with plenty of places to play and hide, while paved areas and courtyards offer spaces to entertain or just sit in the shade.
There is also a second carport at the rear of the block, a garden shed and studio/hobby room.
With so many options, the home can be whatever you want it to be. You may want to give it a modern makeover, and with such a large block, you may also want to demolish and build your dream home in this fabulous location, which is minutes from the river, Riseley Square and Applecross Primary School. While nearby Canning Highway provides access to the City and Fremantle.
