Last Listing description (June 2022)
Perched in a quiet street and forming part of a beautiful, green and friendly neighbourhood that is close to top schools, our picturesque Swan River and the local shops, this gorgeous 4 bedroom 2 bathroom character home benefits from a splendid leafy frontage and has everything required to keep your loved ones happy for many years to come.
Built circa-1959, this well-maintained home is comfortably nestled on a massive 931sqm (approx.) block where adding a second storey in the future would achieve both city and river views. Beautiful solid Jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, decorative cornices, and stunning white plantation shutters are commonplace throughout, with split-system reverse-cycle air-conditioning gracing all four bedrooms - and the front lounge room - and both the master and dining/kitchen area comprising of ceiling fans for good measure.
Welcoming you inside beyond a feature entry door is the light, bright and spacious lounge itself, complete with a statement fireplace. The adjacent open-plan dining and kitchen area is central to the layout and has modern bench tops accompanied by double sinks, and a sleek white Miele dishwasher. The back sunroom leads to the laundry with double concrete wash troughs, a separate toilet, louvers to let the sea breezes filter in and access (via a ramp) down to a sunken and paved outdoor-entertaining courtyard with heaps of shade and lush backyard lawns.
You will also find a huge second lawn area that the pets will absolutely love, as well as some extra room to laze around by a shimmering below-ground heated swimming pool. The pool is surrounded by travertine and also has a stainless-steel hot shower next to it.
Avocado and pomegranate trees, a grapevine and a vegetable garden add an exotic flavour to the surrounds of the yard. As for parking, the single carport affords you drive-through access to the rear for some additional vehicle space, as does a wide side-access gate with another car space in front.
Back indoors, a carpeted home office, play/games room or an activity room doubles as the perfect "teenager's retreat" with its own front external access. It leads down to a sunken second bedroom that is also carpeted and boasts a private ensuite/second bathroom with a shower, toilet, vanity and a door with access to the backyard.
The third bedroom is also large, but the master is the biggest of them all with its generous built-in-wardrobe and storage options. A practical main bathroom caters for everybody's needs in the form of a shower and separate bathtub.
Extras include full-height built-in hallway storage, security doors and screens, an instantaneous gas hot-water system and a treehouse and swing hidden in the front garden for the kids. There is plenty of scope for you to renovate and extend the existing dwelling too, leaving you absolutely spoilt for choice here.
The nearest bus stop is only 100 metres away, with Attadale Primary School (200m approx.), Mel Maria Catholic Primary School (500m away) and Santa Maria College (500m away) all nearby. Only 600 metres separates your front doorstep from the spectacular Attadale Reserve along the foreshore, with the same distance revealing The Neighbourhood Kitchen, Coffee & Bottle Shop, Foodies Basket and the Pig & Fig Caf within the Davis Road dining precinct. A 1.8km journey to fantastic Point Walter is complemented by a short drive to shopping at Westfield Booragoon (formerly Garden City), Fremantle and even the beach. Location, location, location!
