Located in sought after Floreat, between the city centre and some of Perth's favourite beaches, this home sits in the heart of a thriving cafe and restaurant precinct with some of the State's leading schools just a short distance away. With all the hard work already done, the new owners here can simply put their feet up and enjoy a charming home and an unmatched lifestyle in one of Perth’s most desirable suburbs.
Generously set-back and protected from the road via an enclosed brick wall and remote entrance gate, the front garden has been converted to a stylish timber-decked entertaining area, equipped with built-in seating and water-wise hedging. This large area can be enjoyed as is, or could easily accommodate a swimming pool, if desired.
Offering views to the city from its elevated position on the street, this area (and the home’s original deep verandah) is a favourite location to watch the Australia Day fireworks or to enjoy the sunset with friends.
Inside, high ornate ceilings, original jarrah floors and charming lead-light windows and doors complement the home's versatile living spaces, with several zones for privacy or relaxed entertaining.
Beyond the wide central hallway, a generous formal lounge room with original light fittings and stylish art-deco built-in bar leads to a large dining area and adjoining activity room, playroom or second living area with access to the newly constructed rear alfresco area.
At the heart of the home is a modern, north-facing kitchen featuring white gloss, soft-closing drawers and cupboards, subway-tiled splashback, Fischer and Paykel stainless steel gas stovetop and oven.
Located on the eastern side of the home are two generous bedrooms, the master featuring lovely garden views through original leadlight windows, while the exceptionally large second bedroom offers sliding door access to the easy care rear garden. A large family bathroom servicing these rooms has been beautifully renovated in keeping with the original art deco style of the home, including curved archways and circular mirrors and hand-basins.
Tucked discreetly at the rear of the home a generous third bedroom (or alternative master bedroom), features a large built-in-robe and adjoining bathroom with extra-large shower.
The rear, north facing entertaining space offers a private and protected position for kids to play, while the newly constructed patio allows for easy alfresco entertaining regardless of the season.
Other features include electronic security, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, secure tandem parking plus a single lock up garage (currently used as a home gym) and easy-care reticulated gardens.
Finally, the location puts you within reach of all that makes Floreat such a wonderful place to live. Ideally located in the highly sought after Shenton College catchment, this lovely home sits in the midst of a fantastic neighbourhood, a short walk to the thriving Birkdale Street shopping and café precinct, Floreat Kindergarten and Primary School.
