TIMELESS FAMILY LIVING, WITH ROOM TO GROW!
With its current owners wanting to down-size to a "lock-up-and-leave" property to enjoy the next chapter of their lives, this sympathetically-renovated - and cleverly-extended by quality builder, National Estate - 4 bedroom 3 bathroom character residence, is comfortably perched on a massive classic quarter-acre block that has been re-zoned to R60, affording it exciting bonus development potential for the future.
High ceilings and generously-proportioned rooms are commonplace throughout, well beyond the property's lush green front-yard verge, lovely established rose gardens, tranquil pond, sitting pergola and a splendid entry verandah from where magical evening sunsets and soothing sea breezes can be enjoyed. Stunning double leadlight entry doors merely set the scene for the charm that lies within, inclusive of solid and polished wooden jarrah floorboards, ornate ceilings, decorative ceiling cornices, high feature skirting boards, picture rails and mantles and internal leadlight doors and windows - especially throughout the largely-original front parts of the house.
An enormous master suite is strategically positioned for those wanting their bedroom base to be away from the busy parts of the floor plan and boasts a walk-in wardrobe, as well as a private and elegant ensuite bathroom with a separate bath and under-floor heating. Opposing double doors reveal a welcoming formal lounge room that has a gas fireplace, a feature fresco-style dome ceiling and double doors leading into the adjacent formal dining room. The latter has double doors of its own, allowing access from the wide statement entry foyer.
The large study - or home office - has the capacity to become a fifth bedroom, with its very own skylight for natural illumination. The nearby laundry is also generous in size and includes ample storage plus a powder room.
A separate minor-bedroom wing is made up of spacious second and third bedrooms with fitted built-in double robes, a huge modern main family bathroom with a separate free-standing bathtub and an expansive back fourth or "guest" bedroom suite that can easily be an alternative master wing with its attractive white plantation window shutters, bi-fold verandah doors (doubling as a separate access point for those interested in Airbnb or short-term accommodation), extensive robe storage and a stylish third bathroom/ensuite with a walk-in rain shower.
The commodious open-plan family, dining and kitchen area is shut off from the home's formal zones by internal double doors, revealing a gas bayonet for winter heating, seemingly-endless cupboard storage, double sinks, a double pantry, a large appliance nook, a semi-integrated Miele dishwasher and quality Miele range-hood, induction-cooktop and oven appliances. North facing windows welcome in winter sunshine.
Bi-fold doors off here seamlessly extend entertaining out to a delightful rear verandah that has a gas bayonet for barbecues and pleasantly overlooks a huge private backyard, capturing plenty of natural morning sunshine, birdlife and leaving more than enough room for a future swimming pool. The kids and even the family pet will absolutely love it out here, running around under the shade of a giant marri tree, as well as the mulberry and jacarandas, whilst the adults watch on from one of two elevated garden courtyards - or under the fabulous pergola against the boundary fence. There is also a flourishing passionfruit vine down the side, adjacent to a hot/cold water outdoor rain shower.
At the end of the street, Melvista Park is home to the prestigious Nedlands Golf, Tennis and Croquet Clubs, with Nedlands Primary School nearby. Enjoy lush parklands, excellent public transport and world-class shopping at Claremont Quarter.
Delight in trendy cafes, Masons Gardens and the scenic Swan River. Dalkeith Village for more shopping, the Nedlands Yacht Club and other exclusive clubs are within reach, too. Top schools like Christ Church Grammar, Scotch College and Methodist Ladies' College, along with UWA, hospitals, Kings Park, Fremantle, the coast and the city, are all close by.
This dream home in the heart of leafy Nedlands is ready for you and your loved ones to simply move in and start living - so what are you waiting for?!
