A HOME WITH PERSONALITY AND POTENTIAL!

HOME OPEN CANCELLED

Strikingly positioned on a commanding and elevated north facing corner, just footsteps from the vibrant Birkdale Street shopping precinct, this character-laden three bedroom home may be comfortably lived in "as is", renovated at your leisure, or rented out while you plan your dream modern home in this outstanding location.

Entering through established lawns, shaded by fragrant frangipani trees, this lovely home offers a charming welcome via its classic raised verandah, a perfect spot to capture the sea breeze on warm summer evenings.

Once inside, high decorative ceilings, jarrah floorboards and door frames, original picture rails and exquisite leadlight doors and windows have all been lovingly maintained.

To the right of the entrance, double leadlight doors reveal a spacious front lounge room with lovely views to the garden, while a second set of leadlight sliders lead to a third bedroom or home office.

The adjacent kitchen has space for a study nook, (or room to extend the existing kitchen), plus a quirky banquet dining area with built in in seating and storage.

A large north-facing master bedroom overlooks the garden, while the second bedroom features leadlight French doors opening out to a lovely, north facing balcony. Both bedrooms are serviced by a light and bright retro-style bathroom with a new vanity, shower and separate bathtub.

Outdoors, the sprawling and secure backyard is splendidly shaded in summer by established trees, including frangipani, lemon, pomegranate and mulberry, with loads of space for children and pets. A large expanse of manicured lawn offers plenty of room for a future swimming pool, while parents can take advantage of the shady verandah to keep an eye on the kids.

Mere steps from the popular Birkdale St shopping precinct, you are close to shops, cafes and restaurants, doctors' surgery and pharmacy. The location is extremely convenient, with easy access to Subiaco, Claremont and the beach as well as direct public transport to the city. It's an easy walk to local parks in almost every direction, local schools, and sporting facilities, while the more energetic can jog or bike ride to Perry Lakes, Bold Park or City Beach.
