Serenely situated in what is arguably Bibra Lake’s best family street, this solidly built and character-laden 4-bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey home requires a little bit of “tender loving care” to restore it back to its former glory.
The current bones are fantastic though, with a sunken and carpeted front lounge off the entry playing host to a lovely bay window, a pot-belly wood fireplace, and charming original brickwork.
It is overlooked by a carpeted formal-dining room that has stylish light fittings and opens out to a wonderful full-width veranda entertaining area at the rear, right beside a “blank canvas” of a backyard with lawns and a below-ground swimming pool. The potential is there to turn the back garden in the outdoor setting of your dreams.
Back inside, a sunken front family room off the entry will impress you with its high ceilings, second bay window, split-system air-conditioning, and low-maintenance timber-look flooring.
A spacious open-plan country-style kitchen and meals area will warm your heart with its original slate floor tiles, breakfast bar, brick feature walls, two separate storage pantries, separate oven and dishwasher and cooktop recesses.
Upstairs, there is a large master-bedroom suite with two built-in double wardrobes and a private ensuite bathroom with a bathtub, shower, vanity, and toilet.
The second main family bathroom on this floor has been renovated to include a shower, separate bathtub and its own powder vanity. The second upper-level toilet is separate – and there is also a separate third toilet downstairs, in the laundry.
Other features include, but are not limited to:
• Double security-door entrance
• High ceilings
• Huge separate living areas
• Carpeted 2nd bedroom with built-in robes and tree-lined views

• Garden shed – ideal for extra storage
• Reticulated front gardens
• Heaps of room for a potential future workshop at the rear
• Circular driveway with two access points and plenty of parking space
• Comfortable 700sqm (approx.) block in a highly sought-after street
Watch the kids walk to the stunning Meller Park at the top of the street, as well as to Bibra Lake Primary School in the opposite direction. So close to all local amenities, the Murdoch St John of God and Fiona Stanley hospitals, lakes and walkways, this home is bursting with potential and requires your action today!
