Imagine daily walks through Kings Park, your backyard playground, or a wander to Matilda Bay to stroll along the river at Sunset. Walk to work in minutes if you're in medical or education. Get to the CBD in ten minutes, or forget the car and make it in 20 minutes by bike! The 950 bus is only 400m away - it runs every 10 minutes and takes about 10 minutes to Elizabeth Quay. Walk the kids to Hollywood Primary in ten minutes, and pick up a Long Mac topped up on the way home on Hampden Road. The Hollywood District in Nedlands is a location that is hard to beat!
If not just for the convenient Nedlands location, this welcoming 1935 character home on a generous block size features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living areas, open-plan living and gorgeous high ceilings throughout. Set at the end of a friendly low-traffic street with cul-de-sac, you're sure to enjoy the peace and quiet at the end of a busy day of work and family.
The original Jarrah flooring, cornices and ceiling roses harken back to an era gone by, while modern upgrades and conveniences have been thoughtfully considered to make this home comfortable and very liveable for today's families.
The original high ceilings keep the property cool in the Perth hot summers, with the additional help of multiple reverse-cycle A/C units throughout. In the cooler months, in-ceiling heating keeps the home cosy and warm.
From the front of the house, the wrap-around veranda gives access to the front door as well as to the 2nd bedroom, which gives good separation for those who would be keen to have a home office and would prefer a separate entrance for clients.
The master bedroom invites featuring an original mantle, jarrah floorboards, plantation shutter blinds, high ceilings and a reverse cycle A/C unit.
Both third and fourth bedrooms capture the northerly light from large picture windows.
The main bathroom has both tub and shower, and features clean and bright off-white subway tiles.
The second bathroom has been recently updated and has shower and laundry facility.
The original lounge features a stunning mantle and fireplace, with detailed cornices and beautiful ceiling rose.
To the east side of the original home, an addition was added circa 1985, nearly doubling the size of the home with a large open-plan kitchen/dining room, and a split-level mezzanine and 2nd downstairs living area.
With slate flooring, polished wood ceiling finishes, ceiling fan and A/C unit to keep you cool, a cosy gas pot belly stove to keep you warm, you will be comfortable year round in the main gathering area of this delightful home.
Large double-height northerly-facing windows bathe both upstairs and downstairs in light, leading you outside through double doors to the established garden with tree canopy outside. Mature lemon tree, orange tree and weeping mulberry trees, a South African Violet tree and two paperbarks will provide birdsong every season. With brick pavers the spacious back garden with rose bushes is also low-maintenance.
