Oakover Street is known for its unique community spirit and old-fashioned neighbourhood values and this stunning 1930's character home with Art Deco influences, framed by two iconic palm trees, flaunts the classic façade of its era while offering modern updates to cater for today's family comforts.
Privately positioned on a corner block behind high limestone walls with growing hedges, the front garden has been transformed into a family oasis with plenty of lawn for the kids to play, a sparkling heated pool with glass pool fencing and a large paved terrace surrounded by lush greenery for alfresco dining. Summer entertaining will be a breeze here.
A curved pathway leads to the traditional front porch that spills onto the large lawns. Inside, jarrah floors, high ceilings and moulded door frames give a nod to the traditional features of the era.
The front lounge room, with its striking art deco fireplace is flooded with light and is a lovely space for rest and relaxation. The heart of the home opens up to a fabulous open plan kitchen and dining room featuring a free standing Smeg oven, white cabinetry and timber benchtops. Thoughtful touches include cabinetry and pantry with practical pull-out drawers and a full complement of stainless steel Smeg appliances.
There are three large bedrooms, all with plantation shutters and reverse cycle air conditioning. In the family bathroom, a stunning clawfoot slipper bath takes centre stage. At the rear, the second bathroom incorporates the laundry with custom-built cabinetry and pull out laundry basket.
Just steps away from local parks, with the river, George Street and Petra Street shopping and restaurants all close by and Richmond Primary and John Curtin college within minutes away.
