Come and see the endless possibilities of this grand family home, which offers true character on a very generous 1012sqm block. This magnificent old dame is circa 1930s; built on tradition with good bones, high ceilings and jarrah floors. Add the huge north-facing back yard and it's a recipe for success!
Freshly painted throughout, with the period character you expect from a home that was built by the celebrated Durack family at the height of their West Australian expansion, the brick and tile home has been in the same family since the 1950s.
Having seen many generations of the family blossom, the splendid property is now ready for a new era. Charming elements such as a built-in shoe-shining cubbyhole tell a tale of times past, yet the good bones of a happy home are timeless.
Period elements in the interior include solid jarrah floors, jarrah window frames and doors, casement windows and high skirtings. The huge back yard has the potential to fulfill all your dreams of a resort-style alfresco or a garden full of family fun. There are prolific fruit trees, a chook pen, outdoor shower, pretty garden shed and a wide expanse of lush lawn.
Other spectacular features are the wide frontage, mature trees, huge block size and the proximity to the Nedlands Golf club, Swan River, excellent schools, shops, cafes, UWA and lovely parks. Don't miss the chance to be part of history and create something special!
