Treasure found! Huge Western suburbs lot with Californian bungalow.
What we love
The sheer potential of this property. All 771 square metres positioned on one of Swanbourne’s historical and picturesque streets, and a stone’s throw from prestigious Scotch College and Claremont Quarter.
The existing four-bedroom, two-bathroom Californian-era home is both charming and authentic featuring requisite picket fence, spectacular lead lighting, expansive high ceilings, decorative cornices, and milk glass pendants. The home’s extension honours the era with superbly crafted bi-fold doors, timber-framed windows and country-style kitchen with custom cabinetry. Rustic floorboards catch the natural light streaming in from the array of picture windows and doors to showcase their beauty and warmth.
Proximity is paramount to this prime property. WA’s spectacular coastline awaits, with a choice of pristine local beaches – Swanbourne, Cottesloe, Leighton and City Beach. Take advantage of the nearby trainline and zip into Freo or the city without a parking care. The trainline is perfectly positioned to boast walkable convenience yet is distanced enough for peace and serenity.
A seeming treasure-trove, just minutes from Pirate Park awaits the astute investor, who’d have to be rum-drunk crazy to miss this bounty!
