VINTAGE LOVER’S DREAM

Those that appreciate history will find plenty to love in this home.<br/>Built in the late 1930's to early 40's, the home has some original features remaining today. Renovations over the years have stayed mostly true to the era and this creates a welcoming feel.<br/>Situated conveniently in Yakamia it is close to schools, shops and town.<br/>An undercover carport provides space for two cars, which you may not need as a bus stop is located only 100m away.<br/>The house sits back from the road, with a path edged by lawn and low maintenance plants. Perennial bulbs will spring up each year creating a cottage garden, with no effort required.<br/>This fibro cement and pressed-metal tiled house has recently been repainted and had the front timber deck replaced. Entry from the deck takes you into a large lounge room, heated by a wood fire. To the front of this sits a sunroom and a single bedroom, created by enclosing the original main porch of the home. The sunroom is designed to provide privacy, while still allowing natural light in.<br/>A master bedroom opens from the lounge, and with period light fittings, jarrah and leadlight windows it is a vintage lover's dream.<br/>Original jarrah floorboards, dado walls and high ceilings all add to the 40's charm of the house, while fresh paint provides a bright update.<br/>Moving through the lounge you enter a very spacious kitchen and dining area. Jarrah features again in the cabinetry but downlights and modern tiling brighten the space. A 900mm freestanding gas/electric oven, rangehood and plumbing for a dishwasher pair the vintage feel, with modern conveniences.<br/>Two further bedrooms come off the dining, one larger than queen size, the other is cozy and could easily convert to a home office.<br/>The original house ends here, but if you step through the back door you find the toilet, a large laundry and family bathroom with bath and shower.<br/>Further on, a newer addition of a sunken family room is discovered.
