Mt Melville properties often sit on large blocks, conveniently close to the city centre and this home is no exception.
Set on a huge 1,193m2 block near the top of the hill, the fibro and iron house is fronted by a wide porch offering views over sporting fields to the ranges beyond.
As you step through the front door you enter a small lounge, with high ceilings and an enclosed wood heater. Jarrah floorboards are underfoot, and your eyes are drawn through double glass doors to an open dining area.
To the left of this lounge there is a simple sunroom, capturing light with its northern aspect and providing further views across town. This is currently used as a bedroom but could be opened up to provide more living space.
From the right of the lounge, you discover the main bedroom. It is queen sized, again with jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and a modern bank of enclosed wardrobes. A large window looks out to the porch and quiet front garden.
Moving through the lounge, the house opens up to a shared kitchen and dining space. This has original 1950s kitchen cabinetry and features, plus a freestanding gas oven. There is plenty of space to allow a kitchen remodel.
The dining area steps in to a hallway leading to another small area that opens to a single bedroom. These rooms could be study areas for children, or converted to an ensuite as they sit by the master bedroom.
A third bedroom is located next to this passage, it also features jarrah floors and allows for a double bed with a small amount of wardrobe space.
To the rear of the dining room, you enter the activity room. Large windows look out over the back garden, there is a gas point for heating and sliding doors leading to a covered patio. The fourth bedroom is accessed from this activity room. It is double sized, carpeted with a window looking over the patio.
To the other side of the activity room you find a sunny laundry, toilet and family bathroom. The bathroom has a shower over a bath, with a small vanity.
The yards are easy care, with room for chooks or vegetable beds. Strategic hedges provide privacy from neighbours on the high side, creating a peaceful place to sit. There is a lockable single garage, plus plenty of room for boats or caravans in the two driveways.
Located close to Mt Melville nature trails, shopping, and sporting fields this home is under four minutes’ drive from York St.
It is a comfortable home, or an ideal investment option in the popular suburb of Mt Melville.
