SOLD-AWAITING SETTLEMENT
SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION
UNDER CONTRACT
So much charm and character can be found in this stunning home. The ornate ceilings, gracious entry hall with atypical wood panelled walls which extend into the formal rooms, box and bay windows, jarrah flooring, fireplaces, large rooms, charming fretwork and the outstanding inglenook have been retained to maintain the character of the era of the 1920's. Not only has the bygone era been retained but the home has been upgraded to today's modern standards creating a perfect blend of old and new.

The home's street presence is grand, and this impression has been maintained throughout. The large verandah greets you and upon entering the entry hall the charm of the home is evident. To the right are the formal rooms the formal lounge with bay window and open fireplace with stone faade and the dining room with the intimate inglenook with its own loveseats and gas log fire. This is a stunning feature of the home and only present in those homes which are a cut above the rest. This entire formal part of the home has delightful high ornate ceilings, and the areas are large giving the impression of many formal functions being conducted in the past era.

To the left of the entry hall is a passage from which one can enter the huge main bedroom. Once again this room has a bay window, plenty of built in wardrobes, a split system rc air conditioner, an interesting glazed brick fireplace and ornate ceilings.

Further down the passage is the stunning large main bathroom with frameless glass shower recess, wc, and bath. Next to this is the laundry which has been upgraded to reflect the style of the main bathroom. In this area is a storage room and the second wc. The fourth bedroom/study/office is at the rear of the home affording a view over the peaceful rear garden. A lovely, light-filled lobby gives access to this garden. Opposite this lobby is the outstanding specially designed kitchen with stainless steel, European appliances. The cupboard design reflects the detail in the fretwork from the formal part of the home. There is plenty of cupboard space and a walk in pantry with a difference. This room also overlooks the rear garden. Adjacent is a meals area which leads to the formal rooms.

In the middle of the home are stairs (with under stair storage) that go to a further 2 large bedrooms, study nook and a balcony room which leads off one of the bedrooms. This area is part of the original structure of the home again indicating that this home was superior to many built during the same era. There is plenty of wardrobe space in this area and it has ducted rc airconditioning. It is a perfect area for the children providing a charming space for them.

Across the rear of the home is a full length wide verandah which is perfect for alfresco living, and has direct access to the peaceful rear garden. This well-established, landscaped garden provides a private, secluded and peaceful place to relax. There are garden sheds, the original garage, further car accommodation, meandering paths and rainwater tanks with a 15000 litre capacity used to water the fully automated reticulated garden. As the allotment is 1094sqms there is plenty of space for a pool.

This home comes with our high recommendation. One can simply move in and continue to enjoy the ambience it possesses, there still being scope to further extend, add a pool, or do nothing. Its location is next to none close to the best public and private schools, transport and shopping. It is a real gem.
