Ideally located only a short stroll from both the Birkdale Street cafe strip and Floreat Forum, this original Floreat three-bedroom home will appeal to buyers looking for character, convenience, a low maintenance lifestyle and an affordable entry point into this premier suburb.
Entering through established lawns, shaded by mature jacaranda and frangipani trees, this lovely home offers a charming welcome via its classic raised verandah, a perfect spot to capture the sea breeze on warm summer evenings.
Inside, the home exhibits genuine vintage hallmarks, with high, decorative ceilings, picture rails, exquisite leadlight doors and windows and original jarrah floors.
To the right of the entrance, an open archway reveals a spacious front lounge room with lovely views to the garden, while a set of leadlight French doors lead to a dining room with views to the rear courtyard. The adjacent kitchen is a functional space with modern stainless-steel appliances, while the nearby sunroom offers an extra space for a study nook or playroom for young children.
A large north-facing master bedroom overlooks the garden, while the second bedroom flows into its own study area (or potential 3rd bedroom). Both bedrooms are serviced by a light, bright and recently renovated bathroom with a new vanity, refurbished bath, rainwater shower and new tapware.
Outdoors, the paved rear garden includes a sheltered alfresco dining area and plenty of space for herb and veggie gardens. Splendidly shaded in summer by an established Chinese tallow tree, this is a delightful area offering a safe, private space for outdoor entertaining in all seasons.
Last but not least, the single garage and underfloor storage space ensures that all the boxes have been ticked by this delightful, character-filled home.
Located in the highly sought after Shenton College school zone, this lovely home sits in the midst of a fantastic neighbourhood, a short walk to Floreat Forum, Floreat Primary School, Perry Lakes and the cafes and restaurants of Birkdale Street.
A must-see for downsizers, professional couples, or young families seeking to establish themselves in the Floreat area, please contact Helen to register your interest!
