Delightful Character Bungalow with Huge Potential

Brimming with all the charm of yesteryear, this character bungalow boasts both a sought-after location for young families and huge possibilities for keen renovators.
With three bedrooms, one bathroom, study, sleepout, swimming pool, original fixtures, jarrah floorboards and a fireplace – all on a good-sized, 491sqm block a few minutes walk to the local primary school – you can either move right into this neat and well-maintained home or make plans to modernise.
Built in 1940, the original elements are a classic example of the bungalow-style designs of the era, homes that have become increasingly popular for their retro details, such as ornate cornices and ceiling roses. Well-maintained inside and out, enter via a covered porch surrounded by carefully tended garden beds.
To the right of entry is the large main bedroom with fireplace, picture rails and elegant pendant lighting, with bedrooms two and three further down the hall (both of which also feature jarrah flooring) and a central bathroom with Roman bath and vanity.
At the rear of the property is the modernised kitchen, living, dining and study. The bright and cheery kitchen offers plenty of cupboard space, a double sink, gas cooking appliances, a breakfast bar, dishwasher, and a continuation of the timber flooring.
Outside, entertain with ease in the covered, paved alfresco area, made all the more spacious thanks to the soaring ceiling. The entire family will love escaping the heat this summer with a fully fenced swimming pool edged with stylish limestone pavers. Adjacent is low-maintenance artificial lawn, a raised poolside seating area and a large garden shed. Out the front, there’s paved parking and a peaceful grassed area for a quiet cup of coffee in the sun.
Mount Hawthorn is incredibly popular with young families, and this home is in the heart of all the area enjoys, such as a quick walk to great schools, train stations, cafés, and restaurants, with the added bonus of being directly opposite a small reserve and playground.
Properties with tasteful heritage elements and renovation potential (approved plans in with council) for growing families are going fast, particularly in such a covetable location - secure it today by calling Hamish Laidlaw on 0417 971 528.
