A wonderful opportunity awaits as you make your way past the old pepper tree into the enclosed front yard of this enchanting 1950s character home, set among established rose gardens, flowering bougainvillea, and lush evergreens, all on a generous 842sqm block just moments from the city and the vibrant Swan River foreshore.
Thoughtfully extended over the years to accommodate four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home preserves its original character while offering versatile modern living through multiple indoor and outdoor spaces. The country-style kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, abundant storage, and ample bench space, with a vertical sash window overlooking the gardens that fills the space with warm, inviting light—the heart of family life. The formal dining and sitting rooms celebrate the timeless elegance of the 1950s, with soaring ceilings, gleaming jarrah floorboards, ornate ceiling roses, and solid timber architraves.
Step outside and summer comes alive. The backyard is made for entertaining, with an impressive gabled patio, sparkling saltwater pool with shade sails—perfect for long evenings, weekend barbecues, or casual family gatherings.
The freestanding studio, with French doors opening onto the garden, offers a versatile retreat for a home office, creative studio, or even this year’s Christmas lunch—fully enclosed from the elements and overlooking the pool and expansive lawned play area so you can keep an eye on the kids.
