Century-Old Character and Potential!
Nestled on a comfortable 488sqm (approx.) block with what can be described as a “blank canvas” of a backyard complementing seemingly-endless renovation possibilities, this charming 3 bedroom 1 bathroom circa-1900 home is perfect to either live in right away, or to add your own modern personal touches whenever you like – the dream inner-city location being a stunning added bonus.
Imagine living opposite a pre-school and just footsteps away from the local library, the sprawling Leederville Oval and the excellent Loftus 24/7 Gym & Recreation Centre? Furthermore, you will absolutely love having bus stops – and Leederville Train Station – only walking distance away, with the North Metropolitan TAFE, bars, cafes and restaurants on Oxford Street, the freeway, picturesque Lake Monger, Mount Hawthorn, North Perth, Mount Lawley, Subiaco and the heart of our vibrant Perth CBD all just minutes from where you will sleep and eat for a long time to come.
High ceilings, decorative cornices and feature skirting boards are commonplace throughout, with solid wooden floorboards warming the two main bedrooms, a huge sunken front lounge room, a sitting/television area that overlooks it and a formal dining room that does exactly the same. Character slate floor tiles and splashbacks grace a delightful kitchen, alongside gorgeous timber cabinetry, double sinks, a gas cooktop, range hood, Westinghouse oven/grill, a sleek white Bosch dishwasher and full view of the casual-meals area – also dominated by timeless slate under foot.
A versatile third bedroom, “sleepout” or study can be found off here, with double French doors reveal access out to a substantial rear yard with paving, shade, trees and a pleasant gazebo already in place. Completing this promising package is a large single garage-come-workshop with a roller door – and ample driveway parking space preceding it.
Opportunities like this one do not come around very often. Now it’s time for you to grasp it with both hands!
