This character bungalow enjoys a private elevated 1874m2 allotment overlooking the treetops in a much sought after precinct of Blackwood. The approach to the home is via a tree and vine framed driveway which leads to a double carport and also gives access to the back yard including a large work shed.

The home exhibits many classic characteristics including freestone frontage, wide verandahs, leadlight features, decorative timber fretwork, jarrah flooring, lovely high ceilings with selected feature mouldings and fireplaces.

The floor plan offers good flexibility with up to 4 carpeted bedrooms. The front room is currently used as a main bedroom and has an open fireplace. The size dictates that this could also be a main lounge room area.

The kitchen has a country feel and is light and airy with plenty of cupboard and bench space including an island bench with beautiful Blackwood top. Gas hotplates, electric oven and a Miele dishwasher complete the kitchen package.

The sitting room adjacent to the kitchen has lovely jarrah floorboards and open fireplace. Part of the wrap around verandah has been tastefully enclosed to create a superb dining room which has hosted many an elegant dinner party. Large hardwood framed windows were salvaged for this room and brush box flooring adds to the terrific atmosphere.

The original home (circa 1925) was extended at the rear to create an extra bedroom or living area and wet areas.
