It doesn’t take a genius to realise that this home is a beaut. It started life as a character cottage, after all. And it’s nearly a century old. There’s bound to be a bit of magic in the mix, along with all the original features and fabulous extension and renovations. But this does all mean that you have to be quick on your feet in order to snap it up before some other clever clogs beats you to it. So let’s not waste any time; you’re here to learn more about this marvellous residence and we’re here to tell you.
Those aforementioned original features include leadlight windows, jarrah floorboards, ornate ceiling roses and cornices, and a lovely wide porch that’s just perfect for getting comfy on (perhaps with a pot of tea and a good book). The upgrades and additions, which have transformed it into a family-sized 4x2 with a second-storey addition, are numerous. There’s the custom-made kitchen with its retro-style seven-burner stove, nifty undermount sink, very pretty splashback tiling, and spacious breakfast bar where everything from casual early morning conversations to lively intellectual debates are on the menu. There’s also the cosy gas fireplace in the dining room, the clever attic and under-stair storage spaces, flexible floorplan that provides for accommodation, home office and multiple living spaces, and aircon to keep everyone cool as cucumbers through the summertime. Got a gift for entertaining? The open plan living area is a no-brainer when it comes to hosting your fave folk, but it also leads out to the covered alfresco area where you can make the most of fine weather. The terraced backyard with its big, shady trees could easily become your favourite place to be on sunny days. Pop a fire pit in the centre of the paved area at the top level and arrange some seating around it and you’ll be set for the cooler months too. Or you could subdivide*. It’s zoned R40 and there’s a ROW at the rear. Super fund in your backyard? Smart!
Location-wise, you’d be wise indeed to live here. Especially if you thrive on social or sporting activities. Immerse yourself straight away in the local community FB Page (Halloween is HUGE!) or play a round at the golf course (2.4km), a tennis match or two (1.6km), or even a roll at the local bowls club (2km). Of course, it’s sensible to then follow it up with dinner and drinks. Pizzeria Amore Mio (1.8km) is always a solid choice, but when you’ve got Beaufort Street so close by it’s almost silly to not explore your options there. Try local favs such as Cecchi’s (600m), Ruffino’s (1.2km), and Chakra (1.3km), go big at Hoodburger or Bay Bay’s (1.3km), and give newcomers such as Kai Fun or Lexsi (1.1km) a go. If you’re savvy in the kitchen you’ve got the big three grocery stores within 1.2km, and then there’s the Good Grocer IGA (2km) if you want to take things next level with some gourmet goodies. Rounded out with an easy walk to Meltham train station (850m), this lovely, leafy location is a total winner. Just like you. Smartypants.
