Nestled on a massive 969sqm block with exciting subdivision potential in the epicentre of the family-friendly Cottesloe community where beautiful beaches are only walking distance away, this charming 3 bedroom 2 bathroom double-brick-and-tile residence is as solid as they come and has been a loving family home for the best part of the last 67 years, leaving plenty of scope for you to live there now and either renovate or build brand-new later as you look to secure your future in more ways than one.
This is your chance to take full advantage of a huge land holding in one of the suburb's best and most sought-after streets that connect the nearby coastline with the likes of sprawling Allen Park sporting facilities around the corner, the popular nearby Daisies café, the North Street Store restaurant at the end of the street, the fabulous Kirkwood Deli and even Grant Street Train Station and surrounding bus stops for easy public-transport options.
Soaring high ceilings, exquisite French windows, feature ceiling cornices and skirting boards, character architraves and ceiling roses and timeless wooden Jarrah floorboards - including underneath the carpets - are commonplace throughout and ensure that this wonderful property's original nostalgia is not lost to anybody. The main entry into the house is via the leadlight door off the double carport that reveals a light, bright and tiled foyer with a raked ceiling and double-door cloak cupboard.
A carpeted front second bedroom is large in size, as is the generous master right next to it that leads into a spacious and sunken walk-in wardrobe-come-dressing room with study or ensuite possibilities, as well as access outside. The third bedroom is also carpeted and has a splendid north-facing window, allowing plenty of natural light to stream in. A central home office is simply an added bonus, here.
Brilliant in its simplicity is a practical bathroom with a deep shower, toilet and vanity. The functional laundry is somewhat over-sized and has a walk-in shower, a separate powder room and access to a pleasant north-facing garden area, too.
A delightful open-plan family, meals and kitchen area is warmed by a brick fireplace in the winter and has raked ceilings of its own, alongside single and double-door wooden pantries, more timber cabinetry, double sinks and contemporary gas-cooktop and oven appliances. A French door also opens out to the northern garden for good measure.
The kitchen can also be accessed from a tiled formal lounge and dining room that is more than generous in its proportions and has its own burning wood fireplace finished with brick, as well as access out to a fabulous west-facing raked full-width verandah for private outdoor alfresco entertaining at the rear. The "blank canvas" of a backyard has excellent foundations and can be whatever you want it to be, currently playing host to a huge powered workshop shed with double doors and a second large powered garden shed that the budding tradesperson of the family will also fall in love with.
Stroll to North Cottesloe Primary School and even Scotch College from here, also enjoying a short commute of just a few minutes to both Swanbourne and Cottesloe Beaches, other tasty food and coffee options, shopping at Cottesloe Central and the world-class Claremont Quarter precinct, top schools, the river, Fremantle and more. What a location - and opportunity - this is!
