Perfectly positioned close to the city, the beach, great schools and renowned amenities, this much cherished Floreat home is offered for sale for the first time in al-most 30 years and presents the opportunity to live in comfort “as is”, renovate the existing character-filled cottage, or start from scratch to design and build your dream home.

Positioned on large, north facing 906sqm block, this perfectly rectangular landhold-ing offers city views from both the front garden and rear outdoor entertainment deck, while the charming 1950’s home will appeal to families hoping to gain a foothold in sought after Floreat.

Delivering a character-filled and functional living space, the existing 2 bedroom home is beautifully light, with 3 metre ceilings and large windows throughout.

The original part of the home includes a generous lounge room with large north facing windows, providing a sunny outlook to the garden and street beyond, while the functioning fireplace with original Metters grate offers an attractive focal point. The adjoining dining area doubles as a very pleasant home office.

Also in this part of the home is a light-filled master bedroom with mirrored built in robes, second bedroom and renovated bathroom in which the original frosted glass panels of the windows and doors have been retained.

A well laid out central kitchen with skylights and Corian benchtops overlooks a large family room extension at the rear of the home. High raked ceilings in this area provide a great sense of space, while sliding doors permit an easy flow onto a large wooden entertainment deck overlooking lush gardens and the below ground pool.

The mature gardens have been a highlight for the owners of this home. Towering palms create a tropical feel while raised veggie beds and mature fruit trees offer a taste of self-sufficiency. The sound of birdsong provides a pleasant accompaniment to morning coffee on front pergola or early evening gatherings of friends and fami-ly on the rear deck.

Offering an incredibly convenient location, the setting is ideal: This family oriented street is lined with beautiful shady trees and is a pleasant wander to the cafes and shops of Kirwan and Birkdale Streets. Kids and pets are well catered for with a choice of Lawler Park or the expansive Wembley Sports Grounds in either direction, while nearby buses will take you directly to the CBD or QEII Hospitals. Positioned in the catchment for Jolimont Primary School and Shenton College, this home is also within easy reach of some of Perth's best sporting facilities including Matthews Net-ball Centre, HBF Stadium, basketball and athletics centres, while Floreat and City Beaches are just down the road for a swim or to enjoy the cafes, restaurants and picnic areas.
