Sprawling renovated character home
Embracing all the romance of the 1930s, this sprawling Californian Bungalow will capture your heart from the moment you step through the picket fence and into the leafy gardens. By the time you enter, the character of this gorgeous home is irresistible with its high, decorative ceilings and leadlight windows.
It's easy to understand why one family have owned and loved this property for the last 44 years. Extensive renovations and extensions sympathetic to the era designed by the late architect Michael Broderick blend heritage with modern living, with subsequent improvements over the decades such as reroofing, the installation of a pool, solar panels and garage, and upgrades to the bathrooms and laundry. The kitchen was completely renovated this year with high-end appliances and Caesarstone countertops. You'll be the very first person to prepare a meal for your favourite people in this gourmet kitchen, overlooking the open-plan family living and dining areas.
The considered floorplan caters well to families with a dedicated kids' wing with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The entire upstairs is a parent's retreat with a spacious primary bedroom with an ensuite and balcony overlooking the neighborhood, plus a separate room ideal as a nursery, a study or a dressing room. A formal lounge, the original primary bedroom, and a separate entrance servicing the self-contained granny flat present several configurations for multi-generational families, visiting family or an Au pair. Imagine the lifestyle you could create with so many options available.
Well-established gardens bloom with frangipanis, lavender and productive fruit trees such as apricots, grapevines, lemons, limes, figs, apples, mandarin and avocados. Alfresco dining overlooking the below-ground solar-heated pool inspires languid gatherings.
With numerous elite schools within easy reach, take your pick from Freshwater Bay Primary School, Christ Church Grammar School, Methodist Ladies' College, Scotch College, Presbyterian Ladies' College, St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls and the University of Western Australia. This home is convenient for medical professionals from the Perth Children's Hospital, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Hollywood Hospital. You also have the Claremont Quarter, Nedlands Golf Club and Nedlands Yacht Club nearby, plus you're just moments from Kings Park, the Swan River, Cottesloe Beach and Perth's CBD.
This timeless home is situated on a corner 923sqm block surrounded by affluent properties. Homes of this caliber rarely stay on the market for long, so please get in touch with James Heath at 0478 064 428 or [email protected] today.
