Could this be your fixer-upper? Boasting street frontage, a quiet cul-de-sac position and even city views from both the front porch and within, this solid 4 bedroom 2 bathroom brick-and-tile home possesses huge potential and is a low-maintenance renovator's dream.
Expose the original wooden floorboards beneath the carpets and bring the feature fireplace back to life here, with three separate living spaces leaving you with more than enough room to do as you please. The two front lounge rooms allow space for dining within each of them, whilst the separate kitchen precedes an enclosed rear enclosed alfresco that doubles as the perfect games or "sun" room, right next to a versatile fourth bedroom, office, extra living room or even a workshop, depending on your personal needs.
Outdoors, a huge front courtyard is securely gated and doubles as your entry into the property. There is ample room to entertain here and even take in the stunning Perth city skyline from the verandah. Wait until Australia Day when the famous CBD fireworks light up the sky at night!
Only footsteps separate your front door from lush parks, bus stops and Northlands Plaza Shopping Centre, with Takari Primary School and the revamped Balcatta Senior High School also just walking distance away. With more shopping, the vibrant Main Street food and coffee strip, the freeway and the coast also nearby, you will quite quickly realise that there is no better place to live than right here. Get those creative juices flowing, once and for all!
