Nestled in the heart of leafy Mount Hawthorn, this enchanting 1938 bungalow invites you to enjoy its timeless charm and character. As you approach, a white picket fence frames the property, setting the stage for a home that exudes warmth and heritage.
Step onto the generous front porch, a hallmark of its era, offering ample space for an outdoor setting or a cosy daybed where you can unwind and watch the world go by. The allure of this home is evident from the moment you enter, where original Jarrah floorboards guide you through its inviting rooms and soaring ceilings house light-filled spaces.
Discover three bedrooms, with two large ones at the front adorned with leadlight windows and high ceilings, capturing the essence of the home's vintage. The bathroom boasts tessellated floor tiles, subway-style wall tiles, a pedestal basin, and a shower over the bathtub – a perfect blend of 1930s aesthetics and modern comfort.
The formal lounge beckons with a decorative brick fireplace, an Art Deco ceiling rose, and timber joinery that speaks to the craftsmanship of yesteryears. For contemporary convenience, a split system air conditioner ensures comfort year-round. The kitchen, with a cork-tiled floor, features a stainless steel gas cooktop and an electric under-bench oven, with ample room for a breakfast table – an ideal spot for morning conversations over coffee and casual dining.
A weatherboard-clad sleepout with a raked ceiling serves as a versatile living space. It houses a laundry on one side and, on the other, the third bedroom or a private study. Multi-paned windows and French doors open onto a paved alfresco pergola, overlooking a spacious grassed backyard – a haven for kids' and pets' activities, bocce games, or the potential addition of a small swimming pool (subject to council approval).
Convenience meets charm with a carport in the back garden, accessed via the rear laneway. The location is unbeatable, within the Bob Hawke College catchment, just a short walk to Mount Hawthorn Primary School, Les Lilleyman Reserve, Hawaiian's Mezz Shopping Centre, and the Scarborough Beach Road dining and entertainment precinct. Bus transport is mere steps away on Green Street, providing a quick five-minute trip to Glendalough Station.
