Set back high on the block with long valley views, this charming 1920s home holds a commanding position in a curving street with the river close by. The traditional front veranda, high ceilings and jarrah floors evoke the character atmosphere, and recent renewal offers a fine kitchen and bathroom, open-plan living, and spacious outdoor entertaining. There's plenty of lawn space for kids to run around at home, or you can stroll to local parks, down to the Bicton Baths for a swim, or take a picnic to the river. Shopping, cafes and fine local schools are all nearby, and the elevation creates an exceptional sense of openness in this lovely neighbourhood.

Jacarandas line the street, and a limestone and picket fence frames the sweeping front lawn and garden. The breezy front veranda is a fantastic spot to take in the landscape views to the east, and two spacious bedrooms spanning the hall also enjoy that green vista. Through the hallway arch the home has been opened up to create a flowing air-conditioned space for kitchen, dining, and north-facing living with a woodfire for winter. Built-in seating against a low wall of exposed brick defines the space, and the kitchen is delightful: timber-topped central island, white shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel Smeg range, and a big window to watch the birds in the garden. Security screens to the northern and southern windows make it easy to open up to the breezes. Simply stylish design continues in the bathroom and laundry, with a third bedroom at the rear, or ideal study.
