Charming Floreat Residence: Character Gem with Modern Comfort
Step into a time-honoured treasure in Floreat. This captivating home, built in the 1950s, showcases exquisite art deco features, including decorative ceilings and lead light windows and doors. An elegantly curved porch graces the front facade, evoking the timeless charm of its era.
At the front of the home a spacious lounge pays homage to the home's character and history. This inviting space seamlessly extends to the porch and private, secure front garden – a perfect retreat for moments of relaxation.
The home has been thoughtfully extended at the rear, creating a vast open plan family, dining, and kitchen area with a prized north orientation and high airy ceilings. Natural light bathes this space, inviting the warmth of winter sun to create a welcoming ambiance. It's an ideal setting for family gatherings and coming together.
Tucked away for privacy, the generous master bedroom boasts decorative ceilings and a semi-ensuite bathroom, providing a serene sanctuary separate from the children's bedrooms. A fourth minor bedroom at the front of the house offers versatility and is perfect as a nursery, guest room, or study.
The rear wing of the home is dedicated to two generous children's bedrooms, complemented by a private bathroom. This thoughtful layout ensures comfort and space for the entire family.
Outside, a picturesque rear yard awaits, featuring paving for outdoor seating/dining and a lush grassy area where kids can frolic to their heart's content. A lovely deciduous pecan nut tree provides welcome shade during the summer months while allowing warming sunlight to filter through during the winter.
Sitting on a 523-square-meter parcel of land, this property is conveniently located within an easy walk to the Kirwan Street cafe, the vibrant Birkdale Street cafes and restaurants, and public transport options.
This Floreat residence is not just a home; it's a piece of history that embraces modern living. Contact Leanne O’Leary today to register your interest and experience the timeless elegance and modern comfort of this Floreat gem.
