Inside you come to a quaint entrance hall with a solid jarrah hat stand and storage unit. Through to the Tudor style formal lounge room features wooden picture rails for the display of those precious family photos and timber battens and leadlight windows adding character and warmth. There is a full mantle place and wood fire behind it should you wish to revive a traditional flickering wood fire to warm the room.
Step through into a formal study with the same million dollar views, timber venetians, built in shelves and all of the required jacks for office equipment.
The homes two king sized bedrooms both lead off of the main living area the master featuring two sets of wardrobes and decorative glass windows that unveil the frontal views. The second room is an olive tones character space with high ceilings and a feature hanging light.
The kitchen is a very English galley style and the quirky features of which counteract is compact size. A bench seat sits below the cute as a button window and sits beside the older style benches and a neat gas oven and stove. Adjacent sits a large double door pantry and storage space to keep the clutter out of the kitchen and leaving room for dining table to complete the cosy setting.
Stepping down from the space is a real talking point, an original storage room area complete with an original food safe in great condition. A complete kitchen renovation could take into account these original character features to create a unique juxtaposition between the old and the new.
The bathroom features a claw foot vanity, linen closet and recess shower and is a decent size for a new design with classic styling.
The final room is a combined laundry, toilet and storage room which also leads outside.
The backyard of the property is what really endears it to you, gradually tiered up to the rear alleyway that leads into the nature reserve on Mount Melville. Thriving veggie patches, vine panels and established trees ensure it is lush and green, with plenty of room to move.
It's a block which is big enough to allow a three block sub division, however the obvious choice would be a wonderful home extension, to provide additional space and bedrooms and revive the homes charm.
The gardener of the home will love the full kitted out workshop, while for the keen photographer, the recently refurbished studio and darkroom is the cherry on top (of course this could double as additional separate sleeping quarters).
To retain this home's charm, and restore its older features will be a satisfying and rewarding journey for any who choose to take it.
