CHARM AND CHARACTER IN COMO!
This classic, double brick and tile 1950's character home has been carefully maintained and creatively renovated to provide a tidy residence in a desirable location close to plenty of amenities, schools, cafes, parks and the City.
The definitive features from the original construction remain - ornate high ceilings, picture rails, polished wooden floors, generous room sizes and the feature fireplace that has been converted to a gas log fire. Yet there is so much more to be discovered within.
Step inside the front door to the spacious entry hall, from which flow the lounge, kitchen and access to two of the three bedrooms and one bathroom. The amply sized lounge room provides a peaceful space with white timber shutters and a feature wall with the fireplace. Bedroom one faces the street, has plenty of space, white timber shutters and a 3-door built in wardrobe. Bedroom two, also fitted with white timber shutters, looks out on to the side garden and climbing roses. The main bathroom has been fully renovated to an exceptional and lasting standard, in neutral tones that will not date quickly.
The kitchen in the centre of the house has ample bench and cupboard space, an abundance of natural light and attractive porcelain floor tiles. The original oven recess has been converted to house a large stainless-steel oven and hidden exhaust unit.
Towards the rear of the house, the original sleep out has been enclosed and now encompasses the dining space, from which lead the laundry and third toilet. From the other side of the dining room, at the rear of the residence, you enter the oasis of the extension to find the master suite, complete with built-in-robe, stunning ensuite and separate access to the private deck and garden, via double glazed doors.

Secure car port behind an electric gate at the rear of the residence

Como overview
Como is an established suburb bound to the west by the Canning and Swan Rivers. Part of the City of South Perth's municipality, Como experienced its most significant development during the 1950s and 1960s, with gradual growth since the early 1990s as new dwellings were added to the area.
Life in Como
Parks and reserves are a dominant aspect of the Como landscape, such as one of Como's most notable features the international standard 27 hole Collier Park Golf Course. The Como Hotel is a popular bar, café and restaurant in the suburb and a recognisable fixture of Canning Highway. There are also some shops in the area to service local requirements, as well as four local schools, including Penrhos College.
