Stucco plaster work, high ceilings, ceiling roses, cornices, jarrah floors, original windows, fireplaces, a gable end with the classic Federation rising sun motif, and a return front verandah.
It was love at first sight (almost 10 years ago) for the current owners of 13 Esperance Street.
Behind the new powder coated picket fence with automatic gate, this original 1928 jarrah weatherboard home is much loved and is perfectly located to enjoy the best of the Vic Park Life!
With 2 bedrooms, both with built in robes, and a modern bathroom and laundry, there is plenty of modern amenity to ensure you can have the charm of yesteryear, whilst enjoying today's creature comforts.
Over the last 10 years all the work has been done for you! Extensively renovated and improved by the current owners you'll benefit from their hard work and foresight. New fences, landscaping, studio, automatic gate, carport, heat-pump and solar are just the tip of the iceberg.
The light-filled open plan kitchen and dining area open directly to the undercover alfresco entertaining and paved back yard. The kitchen boasts plenty of storage and bench-space as well as a gorgeous feature leadlight window.
Located within a short stroll of Perth's most vibrant foodie, cafe and small bar strip - 13 Esperance Street enjoys a bucolic leafiness with peppermint trees lining the street. Close to the action, but just far enough away!
Relax on your return front verandah and soak in the fully fenced front yard with a grove of established fruit trees, including olive, lime and lemon. These trees fruit prolifically, meaning the neighbours have also benefited in the past! There is even a good sized patch of lawn, perfect for pets and kids.
Extra paved space beyond the carport could be just right for your camper trailer or dinghy....
