The large period home at 58 Stoneham Road stands as proud today as it did when built mid last century. Wrapped in nostalgia, it is positioned on a rear land holding just off the mighty Swan River's south bank and represents both an exciting opportunity and a blue-chip property acquisition. Metres to the rivers foreshore, the character three-bedroom, one bathroom home in the highly sought after suburb of Attadale is without doubt a diamond in the rough.
This is a much-loved residence that whispers tales of a bygone era, inviting its next curator to uncover its former glory. The aura around the home is filled with the possibility of transformation, a siren call to those who see beauty in the bones of the past. Perhaps a sanctuary of potential within prime Point Walter territory.
Its private access down the driveway opens to the home's façade. Greeted with a promise of stories untold, its almost original condition is a rare find in today's era of transient trends.
The gardens that embrace the home whisper secrets of laughter and joy. It's a space that invites imagination, a playground for the creative mind to envision their castle or perhaps a fusion of past and present where old and new dance in harmony.
Whether breathing new life into the residence or starting fresh, its inviting sense of 'home' is unquestionable. Classic period features accent the spaces with beautiful timber floors, high ceilings and ornate cornice detail. The heart of the home, a modest open plan kitchen with a classic vintage finish echo's shared conversations over meals enjoyed. It does not take a visionary to see the potential here where the past and future collide and where it's story can once again shine.
Three bedrooms and a family bathroom are well positioned in the L-shaped configuration of the home with both sliding door and secondary door access to the rear gardens. Its central covered alfresco is the meeting point for gatherings large and small.
Beyond the walls of this character-filled home, Attadale offers its own allure. The Swan River, a stone's throw away, beckons with its tranquil waters and picturesque foreshore, a haven for those who seek a connection with nature. Parks dot the landscape, green spaces where children's laughter fill the air, and the community comes together in the simple joy of outdoor life. Despite its tranquillity, Attadale remains minutes to the pulse of Perth CBD with easy access to train and freeway.
This home, this piece of history, offers more than just a place to live. It presents a gateway, an adventure for those who see not just with their eyes but with their hearts. It is a call to those who dream of restoring beauty to the forgotten or those who see a new image of a future life blessed by its surrounds.
