Nestled on a huge Nedlands block that leaves plenty of scope for future extensions, renovations or even development potential where your future family home is very much firmly in mind, this charming 4 bedroom 2 bathroom circa-1920s residence is still liveable - or rentable - and can easily be enjoyed by you and your loved ones "as is" until you plan your next move.
A remote-controlled driveway access gates secures the front-yard lawns and gives the kids and pets a place for their imaginations to run wild. The adults can watch on comfortably from the wraparound verandah entry deck with tea or coffee in hand.
Doubling as the fourth bedroom is a large front lounge room with a ceiling fan and fireplace, adjacent to a formal-dining room with a fireplace of its own. Off here, you will also find a paved side courtyard and a front sitting area with a gas bayonet for winter heating.
The practical main bathroom is light, bright and comprises of a shower and feature skylight. The nearby third bedroom has ceiling fans and built-in double wardrobes, whilst a light-filled kitchen is nice and central, playing host to double sinks, a double storage pantry, tiled splashbacks, a range hood, an Emilia five-burner gas cooktop/oven, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher and an external awning for protection from the elements.
A massive family room towards the back of the house leaves plenty of space for casual meals and will delight you with its soaring cathedral-style high ceilings, two fans, a gas bayonet, a timber-mantle fireplace, two sets of double doors opening out to the side garden and two separate sets of double doors that reveal a splendid entertaining verandah, overlooking a backyard lawn patch and rose garden. A commodious rear second bedroom has cathedral ceilings of its own, as well as double doors for privacy, a fan, separate "his and hers" mirrored built-in robes, double verandah doors and double doors out to a hidden back garden.
The master suite is also huge and boasting yet another cathedral ceiling, a fan, two sets of built-in double robes, double backyard doors and semi-ensuite access into a second bathroom with a shower, separate bathtub, heat lamps and a toilet. Another separate toilet can be found within a functional laundry that also features double wash troughs, ample storage options and external/side access. Also outside lies a tiled lock-up storeroom with shelving and split-system air-conditioning - the latter acting as "climate-control" for the under-ground wine cellar downstairs. You wouldn't even know it was there!
The stunning College Park playing fields are only walking distance away at the top of the street, with bus stops, the Taylor Road IGA supermarket, fitness facilities, cafes, restaurants and even the local veterinary clinic all within easy strolling distance themselves. You will absolutely adore the very close proximity to other lush parklands, our picturesque Swan River, Nedlands Golf Club and other prestigious sporting clubs in the area, The University of Western Australia, medical facilities, world-class shopping at Claremont Quarter, Claremont Train Station and top schools - Christ Church Grammar School, Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College and several primary schools, too.
