Stunning Character-Filled Entertainer
Step into the charm of a bygone era with this captivating circa 1930 character home nestled in the heart of Mount Hawthorn. Mere footsteps from Shakespeare St Reserve and conveniently located near bus transport, this property seamlessly blends vintage appeal with modern comforts.
As you approach, be greeted by the classic white picket fence, enclosing a front lawn and gardens that set the stage for the timeless beauty within. The wide veranda, framing tuck-pointed red brick against white rendered masonry and a tiled roof, whispers of tales spanning almost a century.
Discover the versatility of three or four bedrooms, where the front formal lounge may effortlessly transform into additional accommodation if required. Two bathrooms beckon, one crisply renovated and the other boasting tessellated floor tiles, full-height subway wall tiles, and a timber-panelled ceiling.
Experience the charm of yesteryear with high ceilings, jarrah floorboards, ornate ceilings, and picture rails that add character to every corner. The two front rooms enjoy the comfort of two reverse-cycle air conditioners, while the formal lounge sets a cosy scene with a decorative fireplace.
Separating the two levels is the chef's domain, adorned with stainless appliances, including a gas cooktop, electric oven, and dishwasher. A jarrah staircase leads down to the spacious extension, a family and dining area with raked and vaulted ceilings. French doors with waterfall windows open to a pitched alfresco pergola, with a sparkling below-ground swimming pool beyond.
Entertain with ease in this fantastic city fringe location, moments away from two shopping centres, Scarborough Beach Rd's shopping and dining precinct, and walking distance to Mount Hawthorn Primary School. It's also ideal for ECU, and Bob Hawke College students and a straight shot down Green Street to Glendalough Station.
