Bungalow Oasis Under the Trees

Discreetly tucked behind leafy green, matured trees and a private, rendered-brick enclosure, this charming three-bedroom, one-bathroom, classic Californian bungalow, is not only extremely low-maintenance, but serenely secure and practical, in a central location.

Framed by a generous and shaded front garden, the area, with a handy raised timber deck and lawn, has been the focal point for endless entertaining, afternoon drinks, cricket matches, sunbathing and general relaxation behind its private walls, for many memorable years.

Original jarrah floors, timber blinds, high ceilings and LED downlighting feature throughout, while a formal living room with authentic ceiling rose, built-in shelving and fire-place, separate kitchen, and a sunken, "cellar-like" dining room with alfresco access, complete the home's many entertaining zones.

Fitted with a five-burner Germania cooker, SMEG dishwasher, split-system air-conditioner and ample cupboard and drawer space, the kitchen overlooks a sunken dining area with stylish, white stucco walls and french doors to a completely protected rear alfresco area.

Each of the bedrooms (all with large free-standing robes) are built around a shared bathroom with bath-tub and built-in shelving for towels and toiletries.
A generous laundry, with separate toilet, leads to the enclosed alfresco with access to a drying rack and rear access to the single car garage.

Adopting a relaxed and casual holiday vibe, the reticulated garden includes a lush row of cottonwood trees, two large olive trees and a frangipani tree which keep the home wonderfully cool in summer with little need for air-conditioning.

Other features include security mesh on all doors and windows, abundant off-street parking for up to five vehicles, generous street set-back, external roll-down blinds on front windows and mere steps to spectacular WN Malcolm Reserve with play/recreational equipment.

The beach, Fremantle, Garden City Shopping Centre, freeway and public transport access, Royal Fremantle Golf Club, all number of convenience options and Melville Primary and Senior Schools, are just minutes away.

Described by the owner as an "absolute pleasure" to live in, we encourage you to visit this delightful, easy-living home.
