The substantial feel of aged jarrah timber floors, the space of high ceilings and the artisan touches of original leadlight glass.
This home has truly stood the test of time.
Originally built in 1924, this renovated 3 bedroom (plus study) weatherboard worker's cottage boasts charm, practicality and personality in equal parts.
On a front survey strata 272m2, 35 Canterbury Terrace has two large bedrooms (the master with built in robes), a third smaller bedroom, plus a bonus good-sized study that overlooks the landscaped back yard.
The completely renovated kitchen features a freestanding gas oven and gas cooktop in place of the original Metters stove.
Acres of timber bench top, cafe styled breakfast bar seating, plenty of storage and dishwasher make this light bright country styled kitchen a practical addition to the home.
The main living room flows easily through to your dining area at the front of the home, with a beautiful re-purposed original leadlight feature window.
The front yard is fully fenced and secure and features undercover parking behind an automatic gate.
The waterwise native verge plantings and front garden are also a magnet for native birds, and make for relaxing gardening.
The pleasingly proportioned backyard was recently professionally renovated and landscaped.
Fully reticulated, the back garden boasts seven established magnolias (Little Gems, which have beautiful huge flowers every spring), a lemon tree, lime tree and beautifully scented climbing star jasmine.
A large pitched undercover alfresco entertaining area is the perfect private space to just escape the world, or entertain friends.
There is a convenient colorbond garden shed tucked away at the back of the block.

Canterbury Terrace has been described as perhaps the best located street in the weatherboard precinct.
To quote a recent WA Today article... "taking a turn from Canterbury Terrace onto the main strip, Albany Highway, is a prime example. To your right you'll stumble upon Filipino food, Mexican at Pancho's and Italian at Christina's. To your left - Japanese, Turkish, Indian, a bakery too. There are more cuisines than you can count on two hands, all within 50 metres of each other".
Sometimes everything about a home just feels right.
