Having been in the family for more than 30 years, this is a rare opportunity to purchase this unique Tudor- Style residence, situated only minutes to Perth’s CBD and in one of Perth’s most sought after and highly desirable precincts. Sitting proudly across the road from the iconic Hyde Park, you can sit in your courtyard garden or relax on the upper-level family room with balcony and admire the serenity of the park’s age-old trees, where you will witness the ever-changing colour’s of the four seasons unfold all year round.
The 8m frontage of this 301sqm property has allowed for some key advantages over many of the terraced homes on Glendower St that only have 5m frontages on sub 200m land sizes. This includes the one-meter pathways running down both sides of the home’s exterior, without the need to share parapet walls with your neighbours. Also within the home you will enjoy a greater sense of space, with larger room sizes including the huge upper living space with tall cathedral ceilings, and adjacent balcony overlooking Hyde Park.
Step inside and soak up the individuality and special ambience of this unique abode, and then close your eyes and imagine all it could be as the perfect home for you to express your own individuality with a classy makeover, and the benefit of the extra value you will gain by having a larger property to work with.
The attractive façade of this green-titled home oozes an Old-English cottage charm, further enhanced from the moment you walk through the rose-lined gabled gazebo entry gates. The rustic feel is enhanced by the recycled brick and terracotta coloured paving that leads through the front garden to the verandah, where you will open the double glass door entrance to be greeted with jarrah flooring, exposed beams, and cathedral ceilings on the upper-level.
The tidy kitchen has a good amount of cupboard space with a 5 burner gas cooktop, double bowl sink and dishwasher, and overlooks the dining and living area which opens out to the front garden. Also at ground level are the two well sized minor bedrooms, laundry nook, and family bathroom.
The back porch steps down to the rear yard which could easily be transformed into a stunning cottage garden, with clever use of the current wrought iron gazebo, and old meters stove as interesting talking points of a transformed entertainment and barbecue area for you to entertain family and friends.
The secure double garage at the back of the home runs off the rear laneway and is big enough for two cars with extra storage space.
The hero of the home is undoubtedly the massive upstairs family room, flooded in natural light from the double glass doors that lead out to the park-facing balcony. The rustic theme continues with decorative exposed structural beams supporting the a-framed roof, and jarrah flooring throughout.
Completing the upstairs is the spacious master bedroom with walk in robe, large ensuite bathroom, and small balcony with some city glimpses and overlooking the rear garden below.
If an extra bedroom is required, this upstairs living space is certainly big enough to divide and create a fourth bedroom facing the street with its own balcony, still leaving a good-sized living area to divide it from the existing master bedroom.
If you are not familiar to the area, you are only a short walk to ever-popular Chu Bakery, China town, Northbridge, the Beaufort St Café strip with the huge variety of shops, and the many surrounding bars and restaurants.
For those that love an active lifestyle, you are spoilt for choice with some of the surrounding sporting amenities including the Robinson Park Tennis Club, Mt Lawley Bowls, Mt Lawley Golf Club, Beatty Park Aquatic Centre, and numerous Gyms, Yoga, and Pilates studios.
If education is a main consideration, the standard of facilities is up there with the best, with Highgate, Sacred Heart and Mt Lawley Primary schools, and Mt Lawley High School, plus Perth College, Trinity, and Mercedes College all in close proximity.
Living here is really about the desire for a lifestyle choice that many aspire to, living across the road from Hyde Park, where you can admire the array of birdlife hovering around the two lakes, and the magnificent and ageless trees that make this one of Perth’s most iconic destinations all year round for countless families and community events.
This is your opportunity to secure this individual styled home in a premium location with the opportunity to enhance its unique characteristics and make it your own.
