Delightful Inside and Out - Whichever Way You Look at This Historic Home, You'll Love It!
First glance at this 'picture-perfect' 3-bedroom weatherboard and iron cottage will definitely get the heart beating faster. It's just so pretty with its wrap-around verandahs and porch that establish its early 1900s legacy. Inside, there are all the features one would expect but rarely receive: high ornate ceilings, gleaming Jarrah floorboards, leadlight windows, and French doors, as well as two superb fireplaces with cast iron inserts. A sympathetic restoration throughout, a gorgeous presentation, and a decor with a neutral palette enhance all the features beautifully. The home embraces you like a warm hug. The home may be over 100 years old, but the current owners have renovated it with 2020s panache, installing Blanco and Bosch appliances in the kitchen and creating a sleek modern bathroom with a wall-hung vanity, shower, and bathtub. Other features not seen in its early days include built-in wardrobes, a security system, and ducted air-conditioning. The home is not only pretty; it's very practical and surprisingly spacious as well, with dining and casual meals areas, 3 good-sized bedrooms, a lounge room, and plenty of intimate outdoor spaces too.
As for the location, it is also a delight, in the heart of the historic Guildford township brimming with cafes and curio shops, a theatre, and all manner of interesting things. The city and airport are just a short drive away, and you can enjoy the Swan Valley with its events and wineries all year round. Plus, there is great shopping at nearby Midland. Just hop on the train at your local station, and the whole of Perth is moments away.
