What we love…
… is a quiet street in a sought-after “West of the Forum” location that this solid 3 bedroom 2 bathroom mid-1950s character home finds itself nestled in, comfortably sitting on a square 875sqm (approx.) block at the very same time
… is the opportunity to renovate further to meet your personal/modern needs, with recent refurbishments ensuring that all of the creature comforts are available to you should you wish to live in it now, whilst land-banking for later when you are eventually ready to build your dream family abode
… is the huge carpeted front living room (with a feature brick fireplace and shelving to either side) that, via double doors, leads into the adjacent separate dining room – then eventually a handy study, with access out to a spacious back verandah for covered outdoor entertaining
… is the massive “blank canvas” of a backyard that can be whatever you want it to and leaves heaps of room for a future swimming pool – and more – if you are that way inclined
… is the property being perched within the sought-after Floreat Park Primary School and Shenton College intake areas, with the lovely Rosscommon Nature Reserve situated around the corner and only walking distance separating your front doorstep from Floreat Forum Shopping Centre, the spectacular Perry Lakes precinct, community sporting facilities, Wembley Golf Course, public transport and Bold Park Aquatic Centre – without forgetting that beautiful beaches, the city and excellent private schools are also nearby and very much within arm’s reach
