Thoroughly Modern Classic
If you are looking for a classic character home that delivers the ideal mix of traditional style with just the right amount of modern then this is the one for you.
Built in the 1940's and located in the very best position in Rivervale, this classic double fronted bungalow still showcases original high ceilings with traditional art deco detailing, beautiful polished Jarrah floorboards throughout and two fireplaces have been retained.
The charming front verandah remains and a central hall leads from the front door with the formal sitting room with fireplace and master bedroom as the main rooms overlooking the native front gardens. There is an additional front room which would be ideal as a fourth bedroom but the addition of cedar French doors mean this room would also make the perfect home office.
The original floorplan has another queen size bedroom as well as the large bathroom which has been completely transformed into an elegant yet functional family space in a simple grey and white palette where there is not even a hint of the 1940's.
The heart of the home leaves you in no doubt that it is 2020 with a spacious central open plan living dining kitchen space that opens to an oversized covered deck making it perfect for both modern family living and entertaining.
The stylish new kitchen has been finished with gloss white cabinetry and glass splashbacks, quality stainless steel appliances as well as a double fridge recess and LED downlights. There is ample preparation space and a large island bench connects the kitchen to the family room while the separate dining area has charming French doors opening to the side.
The secure large back yard is every family's delight from the massive covered entertaining deck to the firepit area as well as an outdoor shower and the large shed. The lawn area enjoys shade from large trees while the garden will deliver plenty of old-fashioned home-grown fruit and veggies so definitely take your time exploring the gardens.
The peaceful top end of Rivervale location means you are close everything including Belmont Forum for shopping and entertainment and there is easy public transport to the city or it is less than 10 minutes by car to the airport.
Combining old with new, traditional with modern and casual with formal means this utterly charming family home is a thoroughly modern classic.
Make sure you are quick to call Jarrad because you do not miss this one!
