Expansive views, sunny rooms and 1960s charm tastefully blended with modern appointments exemplify the essence of this delightful cottage.
On the northern slope of Mt Melville, it will appeal to first home buyers, downsizers or investors appreciating its location at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, just 1.5km from the CBD.
It sits on an elevated 507sqm block with lawns and a few native trees at the front and back as well as a garage and further off-road parking space.
From its elevated site, the delightful home takes in views to the north and east, as far as the Porongurup Range and Gull Rock National Park.
At the front is the air-conditioned lounge, a cosy room with windows on two walls, a ceiling fan and space for a gas heater. This opens onto a hallway leading through to the kitchen and meals area, and beyond to a sunroom and utility room with the laundry and toilet at one end and space for a breakfast bar at the other – the ideal spot for enjoying the view.
The kitchen is a generous, pleasant workspace with white cabinetry, gas cooking and an area on one side for a meals table.
Along the hallway are the three queen size bedrooms, all with built-in robes and carpet, and the bathroom. This has a kids’ bath, shower, and the original vanity – a retro showpiece that’s also a nod to the home’s origins.
Steps from the sunroom lead down to a little sheltered patio and through to the fully enclosed yard, where there’s a garden shed and shady seating spots.
The interior is set off by clean white décor, good flooring, and timber venetians at most windows. It’s spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, ready for new owners to revel in its delightful character and the lifestyle benefits it promises.
Having all the amenities of town – schools, medical facilities, shops, the library, cafés, and entertainment – within walking distance is a major bonus.
