This is your chance to own a piece of history with the rare opportunity to become the proud new owner of this stunning Heritage listed Bakers Terrace home.

The striking façade, framed with a classic wrought-iron front fence and matching intricate lacework lining the upper balcony levels, helps transport you to back to 1897 when these Iconic homes were built and became the talk of the local community!

This delightful home sits proudly amongst the historic row of terraced homes, showcasing its eye-catching wooden windows and traditional wood panelled entry door, distinguished by its vividly coloured leadlight, all blending perfectly against the earthy pastel shaded walls. You can’t help but be impressed by the courtyard entry with the perfect combination of the deep-red coloured verandah and re-cycled brick paving circling the feature fountain nestled in the stone pebble garden bed.

Enter through the front door and be welcomed by the 19th century features including the extra-wide jarrah floor boards, 12 foot ceilings, ornate high wooden skirting boards, architraves and central ceiling roses and cornices.

This entry level encompasses the family room with working fireplace framed by the carved oak mantle-piece. Sitting adjacent through the expansive archway is the formal dining area with its own decorative fireplace and this leads through to the spacious kitchen at the rear of the home. The ample cupboard and bench space hosts a tile splash-back and overlooks the dining area and boasts a cedar lined ceiling and has views through the large windows out to the rear verandah. Here you will find the laundry and separate toilet and steps below to the rustic courtyard. For the wine lover, the manhole amongst the terracotta tiled floor leads you to an underground storage area which would the ideal location to store your best bottles of red!

Winding back through the passageway you will find the timber staircase with ornate timber balustrade leading to first floor. This level features the massive main bedroom with Baltic pine polished antique floor boards, another feature fireplace and double doorway through to the first level balcony. From here you oversee the courtyard below as well as the attractive street-scape with it's array of period homes including the monumental Ensanada Coronada building, built originally for visiting Spanish Royalty.

The second bedroom also rests on this level as does the period bathroom with traditional oak cabinet and stone vanity basin, federation tiling and claw foot bath. Completing this level is a small study which also has access to the first level front balcony, and at the rear is the entertaining first level balcony with views to the city, the surrounding neighbourhood and rear courtyard below. Get ready for friends to come knocking to share a drink with you and take in the Australia Day fireworks.

The staircase continues up to a later addition 3rd level with a third bedroom and its own ensuite bathroom and walk in robe. A further rear facing balcony enjoys the best views over the entire neighbourhood.

Adding to the appeal of the home at the street level level is the rear timber deck overlooking the exterior brick paved garden with fishpond and water feature and would not look out of place in a villa in Tuscany where you could sit with friends for hours under the protective shade of the leafy tree sipping on coffee with family and friends.
