A HIDDEN FLOREAT ORIGINAL, RICH IN CHARACTER AND POSSIBILITY
Tucked privately away from the street, this charming original Floreat home offers a wonderful combination of character, generous proportions and the convenience of a highly connected location.
Positioned at the rear of a battleaxe block, the home enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting, comfortably removed from the activity of Cambridge Street. This sheltered position provides a lovely sense of privacy while retaining all the charm and authenticity of an original Floreat residence.
Beautifully maintained over the years, the home retains many of its original features, with additions undertaken over time creating a surprisingly spacious and versatile floor plan. High ceilings, some featuring beautiful ornate detailing, and original wide timber floorboards, protected beneath carpets for decades and just waiting to be revealed, are wonderful reminders of the home's enduring character.
The accommodation is generous throughout, comprising three exceptionally spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large open-plan living and dining area, a functional kitchen, additional sitting room and a delightful sunroom. The impressive proportions of the bedrooms provide flexibility for a variety of uses, whether for family living, working from home or creating a peaceful personal retreat.
Outside, the private front courtyard provides a lovely place to enjoy the morning sunshine. A sheltered side alfresco offers an inviting space for outdoor entertaining, with adjoining room for a lawn, additional gardens or a peaceful outdoor retreat. A spacious carport and parking for multiple vehicles add further practicality.
Positioned in a highly convenient pocket of Floreat, the home enjoys easy access to Floreat Forum, Reabold Tennis Club, Floreat Park Primary School and an abundance of local parks and amenities, offering all the lifestyle benefits that make this suburb so desirable.
For buyers seeking an entry into this tightly held suburb, this well-maintained original home presents an exceptional opportunity. Comfortable to enjoy as it is today, with exciting scope to renovate and personalise over time, it offers the chance to create a home of true character and charm in one of Perth's most sought-after locations.
