Behind a lovely façade, resting on a huge 1,012sqm block with 26m frontage and right ways to the rear and 1-side, number 28 awaits its lucky new owner to unlock it's potential and make their mark here.
The existing quaint character home is ripe for renovation, update or extension – do as much or as little as you want. Year-round comfort is aided by an electric fireplace alcove in the living room, split system air-conditioning and an extra gas bayonet for heating in the kitchen / dining area & roof insulation.
Unique to Beaconsfield, Smith Street's majestic Norfolk Island pines create a Cottesloe-like feeling and lead you to local favorites 'The Grocer & the Chef' and the Freo Farmers Market.
A lovely front porch with space for chairs and a coffee table welcomes visitors into the home. Timber floorboards carry throughout the main house, as do high ceilings and feature cornices. The kitchen contains the original built-in cooking area, though a large gas oven & stove-top reflect later upgrades. Cupboards wrap around the western and southern walls. A storage closet is conveniently positioned next to the bathroom. The sizeable laundry contains plenty of space for storage.
Externally, fruit trees, a large veggie patch & lovely front garden provide a gorgeous ambiance and a great base for anyone seeking to create their own 'city farm'. Two sheds and storage areas provide plenty of space to keep extra gear. Historically the large shed housed a family when the main home was being built. A concrete water tank and other remnants of the era have been retained. Extensive paved areas, a hills-hoist clothesline and bbq area complete the backyard.
