Where Character Comes Home, and Wellness Comes Standard

THE RESIDENCE
You step through the original leadlight entry and feel it immediately, this is a home that has lived a full life and still has room to grow with yours. Built in 1940 and thoughtfully extended, this five bedroom, three bathroom California bungalow sits on a generous 908 square metre block on the coveted east side of Smythe Road. The original wing keeps its soul intact: 3.3 metre ceilings, Jarrah floors, a decorative fireplace mantel and a formal lounge that still remembers its history. Walk further and the home shifts gears entirely into a light filled extension built for the way families actually live now, with polished concrete underfoot, a 3.2 metre kitchen island and a wood stove anchoring an oversized family, meals and informal living zone. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a fully renovated bathroom with skylight and freestanding bath, give every family member their own space to land.

THE LOCALE
North of Stirling Highway and moments from the Hollywood District, this address puts you inside one of Perth's most trusted family postcodes, close to the hospital precinct, the University of Western Australia, Kings Park and Matilda Bay.
Educational Proximity: Hollywood Primary School, Nedlands Primary School and Shenton College are all zoned and within easy reach.

WHAT'S INSIDE
The original circa-1940's residence welcomes you through a generous entry hall, where a graceful feature arch reflects the enduring character of the California Bungalow era adjacent to the formal lounge with its original fireplace, and a front master positioned opposite the newly renovated bathroom. The third bedroom includes its own ensuite. Three additional bedrooms are positioned off a central family and entertaining zone, with a dedicated library and wine store anchoring the connection between the home’s two wings. In the extension you will find the true heart of the home, a vast family, meals and living space with a second full bathroom featuring double sinks, walk in pantry, and that statement wood burning stove for winter nights. Comfort is covered with two split system units, roof insulation, a 500 litre gas hot water system and NBN fibre to the curb.

OUTDOORS & MORE
Step outside and the lifestyle upgrade continues. A beautifully restored salt chlorinated pool, resurfaced in 2018, sits beside a purpose built wellness retreat most homes only dream of, complete with ice bath, sauna, spa and fire pit, finished off with a coffee bench for slow mornings. A large covered alfresco with outdoor kitchen connects seamlessly to the extension for effortless entertaining. A 9x3 metre shed out back and space for six cars out front, including one lock up garage, keep practicality firmly in the mix.

WHAT'S THE AREA LIKE?
Nedlands blends leafy, established charm with genuine convenience. The upcoming Nedlands Square development nearby will bring a new dining and retail precinct anchored by Woolworths and Aldi at the former Captain Stirling Hotel site, adding everyday ease to an already blue chip location.
