Picture Perfect Australiana

On a rare 471m2 survey-strata block this 3 bedroom original red brick and iron corner shop-home is truly a coveted prize.

"Giese's Store" corner store is a beautiful time capsule, paired with the very best of modern living.

A neighbourhood shop and sometime polling place in the late 1930's, this beautiful home has that quintessential Vic Park vibe in spades.

Located at the heart of the Vic Park community this home is walking distance to parks, public transport and Perth's most vibrant foodie strip on Albany Highway.

The amazing open plan living space that was the old shop floor, is now over looked by a contemporary custom made kitchen that boasts London grey Caesarstone bench tops, integrated dishwasher and loads of storage. Cook up a storm, indulge in your gastronomic fantasies or just enjoy tea and toast.

Lie in on a Sunday morning, throw open the double doors of the main bedroom to the landscaped back garden, listen to the birds and just relax. Complete with built in robes, this is a gorgeous big room with a dreamy garden aspect.

The large original front formal lounge is now also generous bedroom, the feature fireplace, with its original glazed hearth tiles still remains as a reminder of the room's historical use.

There is practically sized third bedroom, perfect for use as a big home office or guest room.

With a fully fenced yard, mature trees, auto bore reticulation and an expanse of lawn, pets and kids will be right at home. Imagine summertime picnics and back yard test matches. Overlooked by the large undercover decked alfresco space, this is fully fenced back yard is designed equal parts for relaxation and entertaining.

Whilst retaining the bones and integrity of this marvellous home, there is room to extend, build a granny flat, add a pool, a double carport, park a camper trailer or a boat.
You choose, the space is yours!

For the lovers of history, 100 year old double hung windows from a Claremont mansion grace a past renovation to the back of the home.

Yes that is a James Giddy original commissioned Red tailed Black Cockatoo gracing the front facade!
