City Beach WA 6015

Nestled on a sprawling central City Beach block with a breathtaking ocean outlook that includes views of magical evening sunsets and our famous Rottnest Island in the distance, this charming 4 bedroom 1 bathroom original character gem beckons with endless possibilities to craft your ideal family retreat in the very near future. Imagine the serene waves as your backdrop, where every dusk paints a new masterpiece across the horizon. The existing dwelling can easily be either lived in or rented out until you decide on what your next move will be and is headlined by a massive "blank canvas" of a backyard that leaves ample space for outdoor entertaining or even a swimming pool down the track, if you are that way inclined.Internally, high ceilings and solid wooden floorboards help preserve the residence's nostalgia of decades past, with a huge lounge room kept comfortable by split-system air-conditioning. It also leads into a tiled dining area from where the spectacular sea vista is very prevalent, with the stylish adjacent kitchen also tiled for low-maintenance living and playing host to quality bench tops, an appliance nook, double sinks, a Fisher and Paykel electric cooktop and a separate oven of the same brand. The laundry off here even enjoys direct access to the expansive rear yard.Also downstairs is a front bedroom, a generous second bedroom with easy-care timber-look floors and access out to a private alcove preceding the backyard, a carpeted spare bedroom, a separate toilet, a practical bathroom with a Roman shower/bath and an activity area at the bottom of the staircase. Upstairs, what could very well be your own relaxing master-bedroom retreat enjoys access out on to its own tranquil back balcony, with the best vantage point of all - capturing sensual sea breezes and a combined Indian Ocean, Rottnest and sunset aspect, at the very same time.Stunningly overlooking City Beach Primary School across the road, this promising abode is also only walking distance away from City Beach Residential College, picturesque Bold Park and Reabold Hill, the Bold Park Aquatic Centre, the Wembley Golf Course, bus stops, sprawling City Beach Oval and beautiful City Beach itself - including its wonderful array of restaurants.
