The owner’s new accommodation is complete and they are ready to move so the Agent is given instructions to sell at a new asking price drastically reduced by $51 000 from $349 000 to $298 000. Now they mean business! This brick veneer and tile home was built by a builder in 1953 as his own family home. It’s sturdy and in near original condition containing many features typical of the Art Deco era.

Double glazed doors lead off the front porch to a wide entrance hall and another set lead into the formal lounge room which showcases features such as stucco wall render, picture rails, an open fire place with face brick and timber mantel, more french doors to the formal dining room. Carpet under foot hides jarrah floor boards.

A pasage way takes off from the entrance hall to three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower recess separate from the tub. The master bedroom is gigantic and if you decide to build in robes or an ensuite bathroom, space would not be compromised for the bed or chest of drawers.

In more recent years a large dimension informal games room was added to the side of the house, it having access from the dining room and secondary external access. The kitchen is a central point, it linking the dining room and entrance hall to the rear door passage and has a good view of the back lawned area.

Although the open fire can still be used there is a gas room heater in the lounge. Ducted evaporative air conditioning, ceiling fans and Whirlybird roof ventilators ensure the house remains cool in summer. Cooking and water heating are gas appliances.

Local Toodyay stone paves walkways from the house and games room back doors to the Colorbond single lockup garage. The original galvanised iron workshop still stands in the far corner of the yard. The fromt porch has recently been resurfaced with a limestone like tile and lends itself to sitting back in a easy chair to ponder while taking in distant views om Mount Ommanney and Glass’s farm.

The house stands on a 1 446m2 corner block with R15 zoning which stipulates average block sizes as 666m2 so this property would be ripe for subdivision.
