Looking for both character and easy living? Step into this much-loved mid-century family home, now extensively renovated with no loss of its original charm. Situated on one of Wembley’s most inviting streets between city and beach, all the work has been done for its lucky new owners. Appreciate the original details, including an arched hallway and polished jarrah floorboards. To your left, a lovely formal living room with a marble-capped fireplace leading through to an open-plan kitchen with an adjacent scullery. Bedrooms are along the south side of the house, and all have built-in robes, with a study between two, great for older children or as a home office. Add two fully renovated bathrooms and second sitting room, and you have the ideal live-work situation, perfectly suited to the way we live now. On a generous yet manageable 456sqm block, the home’s interiors link to the alfresco area through new stackable sliding doors, ideal for entertaining. There’s plenty of outdoor space to garden, potter and relax, plus a double carport and separate powered garage to use as a workshop, or for storing sporting equipment and bikes. With only two owners since it was built in 1951, this home has some wonderfully preserved original features. These include the glass etchings in the original front door that depict grass trees around Herdsman Lake and Lake Monger, jarrah floorboards and window frames, a lucky shamrock etched into the plaster in the hallway arch, and two small chambers underneath the floorboards for safekeeping. Wembley continues to mature into a dynamic yet neighbourly suburb with fantastic restaurants, cafes and shops (including a 24-hour supermarket), a dream location between city and beach and Lake Monger close by. Excellent schools include Bob Hawke College and Bold Park Primary, and there is no shortage of sporting facilities and leisure opportunities close by, including Lake Monger, Floreat Forum, The Herdsman Tavern, Bold Park, Matthews Netball Centre, the shops and restaurants of Rokeby Road and so much more...
