Property Overview

Majestically nestled on a remarkably-rare 1,171sqm (approx.) block that is epic in its proportions, this gorgeous 3 bedroom 2 bathroom residence stands as a testament to the allure of space and historical charm. <br/><br/>A true gem, this amazing home, built in the 1930s, exudes a timeless elegance that has been meticulously preserved and maintained to the highest of standards. This distinguished property, boasting a coveted R40 zoning, unfolds a spectrum of possibilities for astute investors and discerning homeowners alike. <br/><br/>The existing house stands as an incredible family home in its current form, offering a blend of nostalgic character and contemporary comfort. Alternatively, for those with an eye for development, the option to retain the existing residence and subdivide the rear opens up a unique opportunity to create additional parcels of land. Beyond that, the prospect of developing four distinct properties further accentuates the potential of this expansive estate. <br/><br/>The established front-yard lawn and rose-garden setting is famous to the neighbourhood if you are a local in the area, whilst out back, you will discover more incredible mature gardens where a delightful gazebo deck is surrounded by nature – and is the perfect place to sit, relax and unwind, without a worry in the world.<br/><br/>As you step inside the current abode, you are greeted by the magnificence of a bygone era, where architectural finesse meets a sense of warmth and homeliness. Soaring ceilings over three-metres high are complemented by solid wooden floorboards and exquisite detailed cornicework, as well as feature leadlight doors and windows that keep with theme when it comes to the residence's near-century-old background.<br/><br/>The 3.2-metre-high ceiling within the massive front living room is a major feature, with a brick fireplace also sitting behind double foyer doors. Behind double sliders, a huge adjacent formal-dining room can effortlessly seat up to 20 people on those special occasions, with a pot-belly wood-fire heater helping counter the winter chill through the middle parts of the year.<br/><br/>A super-sized lounge room at the back of the house leaves space for casual meals, right next to a connecting kitchen with a water-filter tap, tiled splashbacks, a range hood, a gas cooktop, a separate Westinghouse oven/grill and a sleek white Miele dishwasher for good measure.<br/><br/>The front master bedroom is huge, whilst the second and third bedrooms enjoy the luxury of ample built-in-wardrobe and storage space. There is even a large separate home office that can be accessed from both the hallway and dining room – and also has plenty of built-in storage of its own.<br/><br/>A central main bathroom caters for everybody's personal needs in the form of a shower, separate bathtub, powder vanity and toilet. The laundry (also accessible via the second bedroom) is nice and functional and heaps of storage, as well as access to the yard and into a practical second bathroom with a toilet, vanity and shower.<br/><br/>Off the lounge room, a lovely backyard-lawn area is great for kids and pets and even has a shade sail above it, just like the adjacent paved courtyard. Staying outside, a single lock-up carport with a roller door down the side of the property affords you drive-through access into a huge double lock-up garage at the rear – complete with a massive storeroom to the side.<br/><br/>The home is situated within easy walking distance of the buzzing Angelo Street food, coffee and shopping precinct and lies just a few minutes away from the spectacular South Perth foreshore and our picturesque Swan River. A host of lush parks can be found nearby too, along with some local bus routes that even take you directly into the CBD for work.<br/><br/>Everything else is more-or-less close by – including the Mends Street Jetty, Perth Zoo, wonderful golf courses, top schools (Wesley College amongst them) and more. This graceful time capsule is not only one of preserved elegance, but also allows you to push the boundaries and unleash your imagination in every way, shape and form – what an exemplary opportunity this is!<br/><br/><br/>Other features include, but are not limited to:<br/><br/>• Secure entry porch with drop-down shade blinds for protection from the elements<br/>• High storage capacity throughout – including three separate hallway linen cupboards<br/>• Chandelier light fittings<br/>• Feature ceiling roses<br/>• Tall feature skirting boards<br/>• Gorgeous French doors and windows<br/>• Split-system air-conditioning<br/>• Bedroom ceiling fans<br/>• Gas hot-water system<br/>• Rainwater tanks<br/><br/>Contact Luke McRae on 0422 522 462 for more details...<br/><br/>Are you ready to #experience remarkable<br/><br/>ALL OFFERS PRESENTED 20th FEBRUARY 2024 UNLESS SOLD PRIOR
