Set proudly on a street-front 497sqm survey-strata block, this classic brick-and-tile residence has been lovingly cared for since 1950 and continues to impress with its warmth, charm and surprisingly spacious layout. From the moment you arrive, there's an unmistakable sense of home - one that instantly makes you slow down, breathe in and feel at ease.

Step inside and you're welcomed by soaring ceilings, polished jarrah floors and a stunning original fireplace that anchors the home with character and soul. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its vintage appeal, every corner of this home tells a story, blending nostalgia with everyday functionality.

What truly distinguishes this home is its remarkable sense of space and seamless flow. Designed with multiple living zones, the thoughtfully planned layout is impressively spacious and far larger than you would expect, offering incredible versatility for families, entertainers and those working from home. Whether you're unwinding in the main living area, hosting family and friends, or enjoying a peaceful retreat from the everyday, there is ample room for everyone to relax and spread out.

At the heart of the home sits the open-plan kitchen and dining area - a perfect balance of old-world charm and modern convenience. Equipped with quality appliances including a gas cooktop, oven and rangehood, plus ample storage and bench space, it's designed for everything from casual weekday meals to memorable family feasts.

Accommodation is equally impressive, featuring three generously sized bedrooms plus a separate study, ideal for a home office, creative space or nursery. Adding even more flexibility, the family living area - conveniently positioned with direct door access near the dining space - can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if desired. How's that for adaptable living?

The home is serviced by two bathrooms, including a fully renovated bathroom completed from the ground up, delivering a true five-star hotel experience. With premium finishes and a luxurious feel, it's a space you'll genuinely look forward to using every day.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen and dining zones is a spacious fully decked undercover outdoor entertaining area - perfect for morning coffees, weekend brunches or evening drinks with friends. Out front, the wide open yard offers endless potential: add a trampoline, veggie garden or even an above-ground pool - the choice is yours.

Practicality is well catered for with a generous garden shed at the rear, ideal for bikes, tools and weekend hobbies, keeping everyday living organised and clutter-free. Plus, adding to everyday convenience, the property is fully fenced, providing peace of mind and excellent privacy, with undercover parking ensuring your vehicles are protected year-round. Combined with thoughtful comforts throughout, this is a home that feels just as good to live in as it does to admire.

And the location? Simply outstanding. Positioned close to local cafes, dining spots, boutiques, gyms and leafy parks, you'll enjoy a connected lifestyle with everything you need just minutes away. It's the perfect balance of peaceful living and urban convenience.
