UNDER OFFER!!! UNDER OFFER!!! UNDER OFFER!!!

Nestled on a generous 860 m² subdivisible R25 corner block (potential for two street front properties) in the heart of South Perth, this distinguished residence exudes the charm and elegance of a bygone era. Constructed in circa 1920's, it has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and includes undercover parking for 2 cars as well as secure additional parking spaces down the side of the property or space for a boat or caravan. The home has been lovingly maintained, with some additional renovations, and has preserved its rich heritage while offering space and comfort for modern family living.

This family home includes architectural character period pieces & living spaces:

A grand "Tudor Manor" is steeped in character-as you make your way up the steps to the enclosed verandah is the formal entry with an original large timber door you are greeted with rich jarrah timber flooring, robust Tudor-style beams, and a crackling roaring fireplace. Ornate touches like a quaint private booth, soaring ceilings, and oversized rooms breathe warmth and soul into the home, creating a narrative of timeless elegance.

The master bedroom located at the front of the home is large with a seated bay window , built in robes and a dressing room / nursery/ study.

Down the hallway is direct access to to the double carport and central bathroom.

Upstairs are another three bedrooms with built in robes, a central bathroom and a living/rumpus room.

Layout & Lifestyle:

An open plan living and dining room, graced by French windows opening onto a picturesque "Cape Cod"-style decking area overlooks the rear terraced garden with large gum tree, are ideal for hosting summer gatherings.
A fully appointed granite kitchen looks out to the adjoining streetscape and dining room. There is a separate laundry and WC conveniently located next to the kitchen.

Downstairs leads to a games room/ theatre room with french doors leading out to the rear yard.

Outdoor & Site Features:

Set on one of South Perth's more substantial pockets of land, the property is awash with manicured lawns and established greenery that evoke a tranquil, storybook ambiance. Additional highlights include a built-in wine cellar, garden reticulation, and a right-of-way (ROW)-a fusion of functionality and serenity. Also found in the backyard is an original outhouse with a functioning WC.

This Tudor Manor is positioned as a standout amongst peers, especially with its expansive land and period features making it an enduring family classic that stands out amid the leafy streets of the sought after suburb of South Perth.

Why 20 Karoo Street Stands Out:

• Retains signature Tudor and jarrah features that set it apart from modern builds.
• A rare, sizeable corner allotment in South Perth ideal for families or future development potential.
• Formal and casual living zones, large rooms ideal for multi-generational living.
• Granite kitchen, lush gardens, reticulation, and wine cellar complement heritage aesthetics.
• Within close reach of the Swan River, Angelo Street with its shops and cafes, Perth CBD, Perth Zoo, premium schools, Royal Perth Golf Club and local amenities.
