CHERISHED FAMILY HOME
For the first time in over 70 years, this cherished Floreat home is being offered for sale, presenting a rare opportunity for the next owners to bring it into its next chapter. Built in the 1950s, this property has been the heart of many happy family memories for the original owners who raised their four children here, sharing countless joyful moments with them and their grandchildren. Now, it’s time for new owners to create their own story in this much-loved home.
Set on a generous 905 square meter block with a prized north-south orientation, the property sits towards the top of the rise, offering city views that could be further enhanced with the addition of a second storey. The original post-war home features all the charm of its era, with polished jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and open fireplace. It’s ready to be lived in as-is, offering comfort while you plan your dream renovations, or even rented out as you consider your future vision. A bonus freestanding room at the rear of the home provides great flexibility—ideal for teenagers, a games room, or even a peaceful yoga studio.
The lovingly maintained gardens are a true highlight of the property, with established peppermint, liquid amber, and jacaranda trees creating shady, tranquil spots for outdoor relaxation. The large backyard has been a perfect setting for family BBQs, backyard cricket games, rearing chickens and growing vegetables. The abundance of birdlife adds to the serenity, making it a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The location is excellent, with easy walks to Jolimont Lake, Perry Lakes, and Lawler Park for younger children. It’s just a short drive to the city, Subiaco, and the beach, making it ideal for those seeking a central yet peaceful lifestyle. Situated in the sought-after Shenton College catchment area, with easy access to some of Perth’s finest private schools and tremendous public transport options including Daglish train station, this property is a wonderful opportunity to secure a much-loved home ready for its next chapter. Don’t miss this chance to make it your own, for further details please contact Leanne O’Leary on 0408 951 839.
