189 Salisbury St, Bedford WA 6052

Solid little number with big What If? energy.

This home is making all kinds of flirty eyes at you, don't mistake it. Because beneath the perfectly liveable, no-frills surface is a 1950s Bedford character that already has the good stuff sorted: polished timber floors, high ceilings, those frosted glass doors that catch the light in that soft, nostalgic way. It's also sitting on a generous 443sqm block south of Grand Prom, right on the Inglewood border, which is really just code for a great opportunity in a very good postcode. The front lawn is wide and welcoming, the cream-rendered facade and tiled roof already doing their classic thing, while the long driveway and gated rear access open up options for extra cars or a trailer, if you've got stuff. Inside, the main bedroom is light-filled and comfortable with aircon, robes, and room to breathe, while the second adds character with its timber feature wall. The updated kitchen is already pulling its weight with a large island bench, gas cooking, and enough cabinetry to keep things practical now (and inspiring later). There's a separate lounge with an ornate fireplace that's basically begging for layered lighting and cosy snuggles, plus a mudroom-style rear zone connecting the kitchen, laundry, third bedroom/study, and backyard. Speaking of, out the back you've got space, paved entertaining, and the kind of layout that can also shift and grow with you over time. For those that don't want to overpay for someone else's taste and reno's but want something comfy for now, this is great bones, ripper location, and little nudges throughout to make it yours when you're good and ready.

Location-wise, this spot is just as much of a heart stealer as the home itself. Grand Promenade Reserve (600m) is your go-to for fresh air and a quick reset, while Macaulay Park (1.2km) and Yokine Regional Open Space (2.5km) expand the options when you feel like stretching things out a little further. Beaufort Street (1.2km) is close enough to make spontaneous plans your whole personality, with Our Table (650m), Django's Bar (650m), Cecchi's (1.4km), and Bistro Massilia (1.5km) all ready to take you from “what's for dinner?” to “that was the best night” in record time. Coffee and brekky are well handled by 60 on Walter (230m), while Big Dog's (210m) steps in when only burgers will do. Daily essentials are easy with Bedford IGA (750m), Coles Inglewood (1.3km), Aldi (1.9km), and Woolworths Inglewood (2.1km) all within reach, plus Coventry Markets (2.1km) and Morley Galleria (2.8km) when you want options. For movement, Mount Lawley Golf Club (1.1km) and Stirling Leisure Centre (1.7km) are right there, and when it's time to head further afield, Perth City is just 6.2km away with a bus stop on Walter Road West only 210m from your door. And finally, families are well covered too, with Inglewood Primary School zoning, plus St Peter's Primary, Chisholm College and even Salisbury Street Daycare (850m) all close by.
