Beautifully Renovated Family Retreat 

Brimming with elegant heritage features and boasting a stylish modern makeover, find comfort and space for the entire family with this perfectly located forever home on one of the area's most coveted streets. Minutes to leafy parks, local and private schools, and a short commute to the city, enjoy four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, sparkling swimming pool, established garden surrounds, high ceilings and a seamless harmony of old and new throughout.

Following the natural stone paved pathway to the entrance of the home reveals a large sparkling swimming pool behind the high front boundary wall and adjacent private entertaining deck.

You will find multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, and fresh-faced interiors in every room. This lovingly maintained residence with Jarrah floorboards throughout offers a true respite from your busy lifestyle and is a brilliant entertainer for all ages.

Come home to a renovated original formal living room with a gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry and a peaceful view of the swimming pool and landscaped garden. A natural flow from here to the formal dining room is reminiscent of yesteryear, as are the high, impressive decorative ceilings and atmospheric pendant lights.

Ensuring maximum space, the light and airy main bedroom offers residents a double-sized walk-in robe and ample built-in storage and hanging space. Adjacent is a bathroom with a rain shower, timber and stone vanity and feature tiling.

Bringing the outdoors in, with a clear outlook over the peaceful lawn and alfresco, the rear family room opens into a sleek kitchen and open-plan, casual dining and living area. This is no doubt the heart of the home for everyday life. Thanks to high ceilings, multiple wide windows and door connecting to the large rear alfresco, contemporary indoor-outdoor living is offered. You'll be able to cook, relax, or watch TV with the family, surrounded by tall trees and established lawn.

The kitchen provides substantial cabinetry and a Bosch gas stove top, oven and dishwasher. Other practicalities include double sinks, a water filter tap, double fridge space and extra floor-to-ceiling storage cabinetry.

A separate laundry with double-sided cabinets, a sink, stone benchtops and direct outdoor access, a family bathroom with a separate bath and shower, and a huge study in a convenient position at the centre of the home.

Outside, there are multiple spaces to live, entertaining and just be. At the front the choices include a shaded front verandah with a pool view - ideal for a morning cup of coffee - a large raised deck in the swimming pool area with built-in bench seating, or lazing by the swimming pool. The covered alfresco at the rear offers space for barbecues with ample room for separate outdoor dining and seating areas, bordered by a swathe of green lawn that will no doubt provide hours of fun for the kids.

At the entrance of the home is a lock-up garage or storage room, reached via a front driveway. The façade of the home retains the original art deco-style architecture so prevalent in this historically significant area.

Nedlands is a wonderful family-friendly community, with this home occupying a prime position between College Park and Masons Garden. The home is zoned for Dalkeith Primary School and is a brief walk to the vibrant Waratah Avenue shops and the transport links of Princess Road and Melvista Avenue connecting to nearby schools, Claremont Station and the CBD.
