A Character Home with Space, Warmth and Enduring Appeal
Set on a generous block in one of Bassendean’s most-loved streets, this beautifully preserved 1950s three bedroom home offers the charm of its era with the comfort and practicality of modern living.
Stepping inside, the character features are immediately evident. High ceilings, timber detailing, and a sense of openness create a warm first impression.
The main bedroom sits privately at the front of the home, complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Bedrooms two and three are equally generous, both with direct access to the exterior of the property. These bedrooms are serviced by the central bathroom and separate amenities to provide comfort and flexibility for a range of living arrangements.
The central living area brings the home together with a spacious family room and dining space connecting into the kitchen. With excellent bench space and a practical layout, the kitchen supports both everyday routines and larger gatherings with ease. Air-conditioning adds modern comfort while the home’s solid mid-century construction ensures a sense of lasting quality.
The home’s connection to the outdoors is one of its standout features. Expansive alfresco areas wrap around the residence, offering multiple places to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the openness of the block.
The wide front porch adds to the home’s presence and provides a welcoming vantage point over the street. The detail on the façade enhances the home’s period character, giving it a distinctive architectural profile.
A large garage and additional store room add further practicality, while the generous landholding offers scope for gardens, play areas or future improvements, subject to relevant approvals.
Located close to the river, transport, schools and the heart of Bassendean, this is a home that blends character, comfort and opportunity in equal measure. Properties of this calibre and era are increasingly hard to find, and this one has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve its charm.
