'Lorne' - A classic 1930's California Bungalow in a Tranquil Riverside Neighbourhood
Ideally positioned in a peaceful enclave just metres from historic Mason's Landing on the banks of the Canning River, this beautiful 1930's bungalow will delight those who appreciate the beauty of period architecture, while the unique location so close to extensive riverside parklands, cycle-ways, and of course, the river itself, will appeal to those seeking a healthy outdoor lifestyle. With endless shopping options and the cinema and restaurant precinct of Westfield Carousel within strolling distance, and with easy access to the city and Perth Airport, this stunning home is the complete package and is ready for you to simply move in and enjoy.
Stepping beyond the white picket fence through established gardens, the classic charm of the home is immediately apparent. Leadlight doors and windows, high ceilings with ornate detailing, plate rails, and jarrah floors capture the essence and character of the home, while the wide entry hall anchors the traditional layout. The formal lounge, complete with original fireplace, provides a quiet retreat, while the sunroom at the rear provides an extra zone for play, work or reading.
The kitchen is a standout, with stone benchtops, a central island bench and a picture window overlooking the garden and welcoming the morning sun. The main bathroom has been beautifully renovated and features a freestanding claw-foot bath, premium tap wear, detailed tiling and underfloor heating while the updated second bathroom doubles as a practical laundry. Generous bedrooms, good separation of spaces and an easy flowing, adaptable floorplan complete the picture.
The outdoor spaces feel like a natural extension of the home, with lush gardens and lawns providing plenty of space for children and pets to play. A large pitched-roof patio is the perfect space for entertaining family and friends, while a remarkable mature avocado tree sits proudly in the corner of the yard, providing shade and character - a testament to the depth of history of the home.
Ducted evaporative cooling and split-system air-conditioning add comfort across the seasons, while the solid brick-and-tile construction reflects the quality of the era. With its mix of charm, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces and a warm community setting, this is a home that offers both practicality and personality - the perfect place to settle in and create a lifetime of memories.

• Original fireplace, enhanced by the convenience of a gas log fire
