Imagine the life this home has seen and the changes in Australia from the 'Roaring Twenties, with Qantas being founded in 1920, Vegemite in 1923, WW2, Penicillin, TV in the 50's even the moon landing. Now it is awaiting someone to not only bring back its former glory, but to turn it into a masterpiece for the next century to come. This is not for the fainthearted, things may have changed outside but inside there is certainly a lot to do, however, imagine the results. The 'bones' are good and the location is extraordinary, plus, there is also the fact that the home is sitting on a prime 490sqm plot of land with rear access. It is easy to see that the facade is exquisite, and internally there are some superb features, high ornate ceilings, original casement windows, fireplaces and of course hardwood floors. The floor plan is perfect, with its long central hallway (an opportunity to extend with a continuous view line through to the garden at the rear) we seldom find a home in such original condition. This is a rare opportunity to be creative without the expense of removing too many disastrous attempts at improvements.
As for the location, the original owners would not recognise the place. Now, this is an exciting area to live so close to The City and The Swan River. There are schools, shops and parks close by, an amazing choice of cafes and restaurants, the railway for quick trips to Town, access to the new football stadium, or concerts in West Perth. A vibrant location and the chance of a lifetime.
