Under instructions from the sellers, this property will be sold. #
Perfectly positioned within a beautiful tree-lined cul-de-sac on the sought-after riverside of Canning Highway, this beautifully preserved 1940s-character residence has been thoughtfully enhanced to create something rarely found in Como: an original character home and a contemporary second residence, all on the one title. Currently configured as two separate homes, the property offers exceptional flexibility for multi-generational families, extended family living, guest accommodation or buyers seeking adaptable living arrangements.
Rich in timeless character, the original home has been complemented by a substantial contemporary addition at the rear, including a two-storey extension and a spectacular third-level entertaining terrace. Together, they seamlessly blend the warmth and elegance of the original residence with the flexibility and functionality of contemporary living.
From the moment you step inside, soaring high ceilings, a welcoming fireplace and the enduring character of the original home create an immediate sense of warmth and belonging. Beyond, the contemporary second residence provides exceptional flexibility with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three separate living areas, a well-appointed kitchen and two additional kitchenettes. Currently configured as two separate homes, it is ideally suited to multi-generational families, extended family living, guest accommodation or buyers seeking adaptable living arrangements. Whether retained in its current configuration or reimagined as one magnificent family home, the choice belongs entirely to the next owner.
Equally compelling is the lifestyle that surrounds you. Just moments from the Swan River foreshore, you'll enjoy morning walks, cycling, paddling, rowing or fishing before stopping at one of the area's popular cafés or bakeries. Fine dining, boutique shopping, Fremantle and Perth's CBD are all within easy reach, making this one of Como's most desirable lifestyle locations.
This truly unique home presents an exceptional opportunity for the next owner to complete the remaining finishing touches and add their own personal style.
