151 Parkin Street, Rockingham WA 6168

It is my absolute pleasure to bring this outstanding character home to the market. Nestled on a generous 802m2 block, this beautifully maintained and presented home beautifully encapsulates a gentler and quieter bygone era. This lovely early 1950s built home, boasts many original features from extra high ceilings that flow throughout the home down to the perfectly maintained jarrah floors that extend from the front to the back of the home. Even the windows are original. The ambiance continues and flows outside even to the gardens.
Beautiful "olde world" fragrance-filled and colourful rose gardens feature at the front of the home along with mature potted Crepe Myrtle and Frangipani trees (negotiable). Lush green lawns complete the picture and enhance the overlooking view from the veranda.
The back gardens are equally impressive, tiered, and in keeping with the yesteryear theme.
The first tier consists of very neat and separate paved and lawned areas. They are bordered by lovely cottage gardens filled with fragrant flowering plants that are so reminiscent of this bygone era. It is a beautiful cottage mix rarely seen these days but totally complimenting the era of the property. The two freshwater tanks and powered workshop are also located on this tier which overlooks the second tier. The second tier consists of a mixed citrus grove, mulberry tree, mango tree and two olive trees. The trees are all mature and fruit bearing. There are also two sizable raised herb beds. This is a highly productive part of the garden and still offers options to expand the existing garden or perhaps even add a pool etc. The choice is yours...

Ideally, but not necessarily, the sellers would prefer a 'walk in / walk out' sale arrangement. They are happy to negotiate the majority of the furniture, occasional furnishings, ornaments even the linen etc. They only wish to retain their personal items and a few sentimental pieces.

Character homes that are as well maintained and presented as this stunning property are a very rare find these days and always create a lot of interest in the market place. This is especially the case when they also boast the prime location that this home enjoys. Location and character adds up to a very prudent investment. Put this lovely home at the top of your "Must See" list and be first to visit the Home Open so you don't miss your opportunity to "Make It Your Own".
