187 Anzac Rd

This character-filled 1920s bungalow exudes warmth and charm, which is impossible to recreate in newer builds. Perfect for families with children at nearby Aranmore, Mount Hawthorn Primary and Bold Park Schools, it's also located in the desirable catchment area for Bob Hawke College. This property presents an exciting opportunity for keen renovators. It features a family-friendly layout, with three downstairs bedrooms, multiple internal living areas and an upstairs 'adult's retreat', added in 2009. The original dwelling displays classic character features of the era, including soaring ceilings with decorative roses and cornices, jarrah floorboards, door frames and windows, picture rails and ornate architraves. You'll find two north-facing bedrooms, one with a charming fireplace, and a bathroom with tessellated floor tiles before the home opens up to the expansive living and dining zone. The functional kitchen includes plenty of timber cabinetry and stainless steel cooking appliances. A spacious enclosed sunroom with wall-to-wall French doors and a pitched tin roof will make an ideal activity room for busy families, a yoga studio or an indoor/outdoor entertaining space. It enjoys a picturesque outlook over a tranquil pond and established rear gardens. Nearby is the third bedroom and an indulgent 'spa room'. The second level provides an adults' sanctuary, comprising a sizeable bedroom, modern ensuite and walk-in robe, and a separate sitting area for reading and relaxing. The jarrah staircase, flooring and windows seamlessly connect the old and newer elements of the home. Additional highlights include convenient rear access to Britannia Road Reserve and the Lake Monger pedestrian bridge, and proximity to Glendalough Station and the shopping and dining meccas of Mount Hawthorn, Subiaco and Leederville. Leave the car at home, enjoy a speedy train commute, or cycle into the CBD or scenic Herdsman Lake and Regional Park.
