Welcome to Green Gables, arguably the jewel in the crown of the highly sought-after Glenburnie Terrace, and the area for miles around.

Walking distance from excellent shops and transport links, but practically speaking a world away, this stunning tudor-style home, circa 1927, is nestled in a beautifully-kept oasis of mature native and tropical trees, rambling over 902m2 on a prime, corner block.

Much loved and well maintained by the present owners of almost 40 years, this is an honest home, arranged and optimised for comfortable living and rich family life. Retaining many original features large rooms with high, panelled ceilings, lead-light windows and doors, polished jarrah and baltic pine floorboards the ambience is warm and enchanting.

Spanning its width at the front of the house are the gracious formal lounge and dining rooms, ideal for large gatherings and formal entertaining. To the rear, you will find a homely, cosy, more casual living space, including family room, study, enclosed outdoor entertainment area and separate quiet patio. The eat-in kitchen, flanked by pot-belly heater, is centre-stage, serving both the formal and informal living areas, and reinforcing the great working floorplan.

Venture upstairs to three bedrooms, two bathed in natural light with striking rooftop views, pitched pine ceilings and walk-in/built-in robes. The large, ground-floor master bedroom is equally characterful and perfectly private, with generous built-in wardrobe space. Temperature regulation has been carefully thought through, with ceiling fans and reverse-cycle air conditioning to three bedrooms, and ducted evaporative air conditioning throughout.

Once outside, you’ll see the enormous potential on offer here. With a 9x6m shed (complete with power, lights and combustion heater), second smaller garage workshop, two driveways, and undercover parking for 6 cars, this will delight the handyman, hobbyist and home-maker alike. Of critical importance to the canny investor, the layout would also readily accommodate subdivision (STCC), without compromise to the current living amenity.
