This delightful home sits proudly amongst the historic row of terraced homes, with its eye-catching wooden windows and traditional wood panelled entry door, distinguished by its decorative coloured leadlight, blending perfectly against the earthy pastel-coloured walls. The front courtyard garden is the perfect size and ready to be transformed.

Enter through the front door and be welcomed by the 19th century features including the extra-wide jarrah floorboards, 12-foot ceilings, decorative high wooden skirting boards, architraves and central ceiling roses and cornices.

This entry level encompasses the family room with working fireplace framed by the carved period mantle-piece. Sitting adjacent through the decorative archway is the formal dining area, also with its own decorative fireplace and its not hard to imagine how this room could be brilliantly transformed by creating an open doorway through to the kitchen beyond. The spacious tidy kitchen with Baltic pine ceiling sits at the rear of the home with ample cupboard space, gas cooktop and newish oven and grill. Sitting on standby and ready to be restored, is the original meters wood oven, neatly fitted in to the corner alcove with surrounding chimney mantle.

Completing the entry level, adjacent to the kitchen is the combination laundry and bathroom. Beyond the kitchen is the rear porch which overlooks the back garden that could be transformed into a rustic cottage garden that backs on to the rear laneway. If you wish, you can add garage parking off the rear laneway, otherwise, you can enjoy the benefit of 3 free street parking permits all year round.

Winding back through the passageway you will find the timber staircase with ornate timber balustrade leading to first floor. This level features the massive main bedroom with Baltic pine polished antique floorboards, decorative fireplace and double doorway through to the first level balcony overlooking the front courtyard below. From here, the views are of the attractive streetscape with the array of period homes including the monumental Ensanada Coronada building, built originally for visiting Spanish Royalty.

The second and third bedrooms also rests on this level, as does the family bathroom with both shower and bath. A couple of the other homes in this Bakers row of homes have added a third level over the years, and this option may be explored with council, which could see the addition of rear balconies that would enjoy stunning city views.
