117 Brookdale St, Floreat WA 6014

Boasting all the hallmarks of Floreat's 'post war' construction boom, including jarrah flooring, timber door frames, ornate cornices and picture railings, the interior blends traditional character features with all the necessary comforts of a modern home.

To the right of the entrance lies the lounge and dining area overlooking the front garden, a generous and light-filled space for the family to come together. An original fireplace and modern plantation shutters keep this room warm in winter, cool in summer, while a small hatch provides a handy connection between the kitchen and the dining space.

Beyond the dining area, a spacious study leads to the master bedroom. Privately positioned at the front of the home overlooking the garden, this peaceful room boasts modern plantations shutters and a large, contemporary ensuite with a bathtub, double shower heads, heated towel rails and separate toilet. Unusual for homes of this era, the master bedroom also includes a generous walk-in robe.

The three remaining bedrooms are serviced by a recently renovated family bathroom. All are a good size, complete with ceiling fans and built in robes, with bedrooms 2 and 4 protected by double glazed windows.

Overlooking the casual living area at the rear of the home, the well-appointed kitchen features granite benchtops, modern appliances including a Miele oven and gas cooktop and ample storage.

Bifold doors from here seamlessly extend the living space by opening to a large, sheltered, timber deck. With café blinds on 2 sides and ceiling fans overhead, this is a place for year-round enjoyment, sheltered from prevailing winds while overlooking the very private back garden and saltwater swimming pool. Ideal for entertaining, alfresco dining on the deck or simply relaxing in your own tranquil space amidst the greenery and birdlife, this is the perfect spot to watch the sun set or to catch the first breath of a sea breeze.

A truly special place, the back garden includes a small orchard of fruit trees, including lemon, peach, orange, apple, mango, grapefruit, pomegranate and feijoa. With a firepit for cooler nights, an ample area of lawn for the kids to play and a backyard cubby house, this private space will provide hours of fun for children and adults alike.

Situated within the Shenton College and Floreat Primary School catchments, this home is walking distance to Floreat Forum, a short drive to the beach and just a ten-minute bus ride to the city. With every urban convenience on its doorstep, this home will appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers looking for character and convenience, whilst offering a comfortable and extremely liveable family home.
