Stunningly situated on a massive 1,073sqm (approx.) block that sits right next door to the sprawling Gairloch Reserve playing fields, this newly-renovated 4 bedroom 2 bathroom character home occupies a prestigious Applecross location and will leave your growing family in awe of its very close proximity to Applecross Primary School, the vibrant Ardross Street food and coffee precinct, bus stops and the beautiful Swan River foreshore – all only walking distance away.
Beyond a raked verandah entrance lie solid Jarrah floorboards, soaring high ceilings, feature skirting boards and decorative cornices that are all commonplace throughout and help preserve the property’s original charm of yesteryear. Separating the minor bedrooms from the light, bright and spacious master sleeping quarters is a delightful open-plan living, dining and revamped kitchen area – behind double leadlight doors – that has been converted into the central hub of the house and boasts a feature log fireplace, a gas bayonet for extra heating, sleek white cabinetry, soft-closing drawers, stylish light fittings, double sinks, a floating stainless-steel range hood, a Blanco five-burner gas cooktop and oven, a breakfast bar for casual meals, sparkling stone bench tops and splendid views of an enormous backyard with lush green lawns and a securely-fenced below-ground swimming pool so you can keep an eye on the kids at play.
Double doors from the living space reveal a fabulous resort-style rear deck and alfresco-entertaining area, overlooking the lot – including a powered garden-come-workshop shed in the corner of the yard. Back inside, a combined laundry/scullery off the kitchen is also impeccably-appointed with stone bench tops, quality modern cabinetry and drawers, a sink and wash trough before spilling outdoors and into the backyard.
Both bathrooms have been cleverly upgraded to the highest of standards, including a spectacular master ensuite where a shower, heat lamps, a heated towel rack and twin “his and hers” vanities complement a fitted walk-in wardrobe, split-system air-conditioning and access out to the entertaining deck via private double doors. Completing this unique package is a remote-controlled double lock-up garage with a mezzanine storage loft and external access down the side of the block.
This leafy locale is also firmly entrenched within the sought-after Applecross Senior High School catchment zone and is extremely handy to more public-transport options at the Canning Bridge Station, the freeway (for easy access into the CBD), The Raffles Hotel, the South of Perth Yacht Club, the Applecross Jetty, sporting facilities, shopping at Garden City, Fremantle and everything in between. An amazing lifestyle opportunity awaits you and your loved ones here – this is not a dream!
