A Timeless Beauty With a Story to Tell!
FIXED DATE SALE - ALL OFFERS PRESENTED ON SUNDAY 24th DECEMBER UNLESS SOLD PRIOR
Christmas has come early so do not hesitate to inspect this amazing property. Having been in the same family since built, this charming character home radiates vintage vibes and encapsulates the spirit of a bygone era, where each corner whispers tales of the past.
Elevated off the street with incredible views this home has it all. High ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, timber door frames and skirting boards and decorative ceiling cornices are commonplace throughout, helping preserve the residence's original nostalgia of yesteryear. Two large bedrooms both benefit from full-height mirrored built-in wardrobes and are serviced by a contemporary bathroom with a shower, toilet, vanity and under-bench storage.
Like the bathroom, a generous open-plan dining and kitchen area has been cleverly updated over time and includes split-system air-conditioning, double sinks, a range hood, ceramic cooktop, an under-bench oven, a sleek white dishwasher, a microwave nook and more. Double doors off here - and a slider next to the entrance - reveal a huge central lounge room that gives off a warm and fuzzy feeling with its pot-belly heater within the converted fireplace.
The laundry has also been modernised to include ample storage space and a separate toilet - adjacent to a rear sitting room (or retreat) that doubles personal living options and could potentially be a third bedroom.
It also extends outdoors to a fantastic patio, offering covered entertaining to a magnificent backyard backdrop of verdant green lawns, a paved courtyard and more than enough room for a future swimming pool - if you are that way inclined.
Gated side access reveals secure parking in the form of a single lock-up garage at the rear - doubling as a decent workshop with an electric roller door and sunken mechanic's pit. There is ample driveway space and a single carport preceding it too, for good measure.
With the potential to extend the home or build a second story and have city views this home has so much potential it will not last!
Desirably located on the "river" side of Bayswater, this enchanting abode finds itself nestled only walking distance away from bus stops, sprawling local parklands and the picturesque Baigup Wetlands beside the beautiful Swan River itself. The likes of cafes, restaurants, shopping, schools, the Meltham and Bayswater Train Stations and golf courses are also very much within arm's reach, as are major arterial roads for easy access to the city, entertainment hotspots, the coast, Perth Airport and even our exquisite Swan Valley. Now this is what you call living convenience!
