In a prime corner position with a breezy, elevated aspect looking out across the Valley, a retro gem proudly sits. It has all the hallmarks of an immaculately preserved ?Italian Palazzo? style home; wraparound balconies, opulent columns, a series of bottle-shaped balustrades, curved archways, amber-yellow glass highlights and tiled accents throughout alongside contemporary updates including oak-style timber floors and a recently landscaped back yard. There's endless possibility to completely transform this home further or simply appreciate this time capsule and its solid bones as is.
Step inside to a long hallway extending to the rear of the property on the right and an air-conditioned lounge peeling off to the left. The master bedroom has private access to the south-facing balcony while each of the bedrooms have ceiling fans, built-in-robes and leafy outlooks. An original bathroom offers a glimpse to its past while excellent storage is provided by roomy linen cupboards off the hallway and in the laundry (with a separate WC).
The living, dining and kitchen bask in golden sunsets and cool sea breezes thanks to the west-facing aspect, made even better with another balcony accessed via sliding doors internally or through a grapevine archway from Bostock Street. There's a ceiling fan above the dining and a traditional wood-fire place for cosy nights in during winter while the retro kitchen has all the hallmarks of its era; sunshine yellow benchtops that pop against the dark timber veneer cabinetry, tiled splashback and electric cooking appliances.
The rear of the property unfolds to landscaped gardens with a paved area, native plants, a corner storage shed and lush green lawn - perfect for kids and pets to play upon. The front of the home has a spacious double garage with a large store room within (easily converted to a workshop, hobby room or wine cellar) and plenty of room to park more vehicles off-street along the driveway.
This is a fantastic location with everything you need on hand and easy walkability to so much; Booyeembara park, Fremantle Golf Course, leafy parklands, shops, caf?s, public transport or White Gum Valley primary school with Freo, the river and beautiful beaches less than 10 minutes away.
Imagine the possibilities that await in this retro gem superbly positioned to enjoy the best in Valley living and its family-friendly local neighbourhood.
