Totally sweet, plenty spacious, and absolutely overflowing with delights
Full of wonder and whimsy – and delicious fruit trees – this 1950s charmer will sweep you off your feet. Boasting an R60 zoned block of approx. 1,007sqm, the house itself is nestled between bountiful gardens both front and back offering plentiful options, including development, now or down the track thanks to the wide side access*. For now, winding pathways and flower-covered lawns contrast with striking columns and balustrades to create a magical and almost playful feeling. Spend weekend mornings relaxing under the shade of the front verandah with a coffee in hand and the sweet sounds of birdlife all around you. Or share the love and gather your favourite humans around to indulge in the spoils from the olive, almond, and fig trees. The outdoor kitchen in the alfresco entertaining area makes it easy to cater to all your culinary impulses, and the pretty garden outlook is a balm for even the busiest soul.
The interior of this home is just as delightful, with original ‘50s adornments such as Jarrah flooring, a dramatic arched doorway to the living room, ornate cornices, and high ceilings bringing beauty into your life. Renovations have modernised the entire house – the kitchen and bathroom in particular – but elements such as terrazzo tiling and glass-fronted cabinets are in keeping with the existing style and the old and new blend seamlessly into one lovely home that you can be proud of. And even with all those features and all that existing allure, there’s still scope for you to add your own fanciful touches or even tap into the potential and develop further. So lean into your personal quirks and eccentricities and go a little wild.
Location-wise, you’ll be happy to know that you’re an easy 1.4km from the Inglewood social precinct, where the Monday night markets are back in full swing! Get amongst it and discover new fave foods and new fave people. And if you fancy tried and true restaurants that you can enjoy year-round, well, there are plenty of those nearby too. There’s no shortage of bars and cafes as well, to satisfy your thirst both morning and night. Try Volare (1km), Seasonal Brewing Co. (1.2km), King Somm (1.7km), Drip Expresso (1.6km), Little Picture (260m), Mrs. S. Café (1.1km), Silly Goose (1.3km), or Sherbet Café and Bake Shop (1km). f it’s the outdoors you crave, and you’re keen to get on the pitch for a bit of soccer – or even some croquet, tennis or lawn bowls – you’ll find them all around Frank Drago Reserve (700m). Or keep things casual with a walk or ride at one of the numerous other nearby parks and reserves. Take a wander down to the Maylands library or community centre (1.8km) when the mood strikes, and should you feel like city explorations are in order you can get to the CBD in no time via the train; Meltham station is a very walkable 400m from your door. It’s easy to see the appeal.
