Decades of original charm still remain intact within the walls of this character-laden 4 bedroom 1 bathroom home that is perched on a 510sqm (approx.) block with dual access, exciting R50 zoning and fantastic development potential for later down the track.
The existing dwelling is in immaculate condition and can easily be lived in or rented out until you plan what your next move will be. High ceilings, polished solid Jarrah floorboards, wooden trimmings, tall skirting boards and feature ceiling cornices and roses are commonplace throughout, with classic light switches also a wonderful feature of yesteryear.
A huge master bedroom at the front of the house is carpeted for comfort and plays host to a gorgeous chandelier, as well as its own feature fireplace. The second front bedroom also has a fireplace, whilst the third bedroom opens out to the back garden. A large central lounge room has its own access via the front verandah and is also carpeted, with another fireplace complemented by a brand-new chandelier light fitting.
The kitchen and dining area is also well-positioned and boasts an original wood stove, a Westinghouse gas-upright cooker and a generous walk-in pantry. The practical bathroom has a bathtub with a showerhead, whilst a versatile study doubles as a fourth bedroom with external side access - off the laundry where you will also find a toilet and double wash troughs.
Extending living options here is a rear family room with a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning and outdoor access to the backyard. The yard is somewhat of a "blank canvas" and features a single lock-up garage with a roller door and access via the rear laneway. Double gates from Carr Street also allow you to drive into the garage from the other direction, with a leafy grapevine pergola acting as the perfect single carport for a second vehicle to park in front.
The back of the property also comprises of a large workshop shed, a studio (or second workshop/shed) and an outdoor toilet. There is also a single rear gate to access the laneway with for good measure.
Whether you play your cards either right now or in the near future, you can be assured of investing in a desirable inner-city location where the lovely Ivy Park is just a few doors down and only walking distance separates your front doorstep from the popular West End Deli, the trendy Cleaver Street Deli, more cafes and restaurants in the heart of Leederville, public transport, the Robertson Park Tennis Centre, beautiful Hyde Park, bars, pubs, leisure centres and so much more. The vibrant entertainment hotspots of Northbridge, Mount Lawley, West Leederville, Subiaco, North Perth and even Mount Hawthorn are also nearby and very much within arm's reach. With the CBD at your leisure, there is no other place you'd rather be!
