53 Duke Street, Scarborough WA 6019

What we love

The commanding street-front position of this fully-renovated 3 bedroom 1 bathroom character home that is both privately and securely nestled behind a remote-controlled driveway gate, enclosing a lovely front yard and entry patio-come-entertaining area – the latter capturing plenty of natural morning sunlight in the process. Solid wooden floorboards, high ceilings, decorative cornices and feature skirting boards are all commonplace throughout, first welcoming you inside via a large front lounge and dining room with split-system air-conditioning, a gas bayonet and open fireplace for winter heating and gorgeous double French doors that extend out on to the patio. The modern bathroom (with a separate shower and bathtub) has been cleverly renovated, as has a quality kitchen next to the living area, complete with sparkling stone benchtops, a pantry, over-head and under-bench storage, tiled splashbacks, an integrated range hood, a gas cooktop, electric oven and a stainless-steel dishwasher for good measure.

A large front master bedroom has plenty of space for wardrobes and allows you to wake up to a splendid leafy aspect, whilst a versatile third bedroom or “sleep out” at the rear can easily be converted into a second living room with its own television point and external access to a tranquil and tree-lined back courtyard – ideal for quiet contemplation. Stroll to Deanmore Primary School and the lovely Deanmore Duke Reserve, as well as community sporting facilities at the lush Abbett Park, bus stops, beautiful Trigg Bushland, St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School and the exciting Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment. Throw in a very close proximity to the new-and-improved Scarborough Beach esplanade, the glorious surf and sand at Trigg Point, Churchlands Senior High School and other excellent educational facilities, more shopping at Westfield Innaloo, cafes, restaurants and the freeway and you have yourself a dream location in which to live in.

What to know

A secure double carport flows off your own driveway that isn’t shared with any other property, whilst a lock-up storeroom at the rear of the home is simply an added bonus. There is also a separate laundry with a toilet, a linen press and a vegetable garden out back. New LED downlighting has been installed, the electricals have been re-wired and the roof insulation has been refurbished. Other extras include security screens, Foxtel connectivity and an instantaneous gas hot water system. This hidden gem will never cease to impress you. Just move on in and prepare to be charmed upon arrival!
