14 Melville St, Claremont, WA 6010

Occupying a commanding corner block in a tranquil pocket of Claremont, this charming 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home is an absolute pleasure to live in and combines the original character of yesteryear with all of the modern conveniences you require for comfortable family living.

Off the entry verandah, an inviting formal lounge room welcomes you inside and flows through to the formal dining room - also reserved for those special occasions. On the other side of both, a spacious open-plan living, meals and kitchen area lies in wait - the functional kitchen itself playing host to an island breakfast bar for quick bites, a double fridge/freezer recess, a semi-integrated dishwasher and excellent stainless-steel range-hood, gas-cooktop and under-bench-oven appliances. High ceilings and solid wooden floorboards throughout, ensuring all of the property's classic nostalgia remains firmly intact.

A central second bathroom in between the living zones is ideal for guests and plays host to a bathtub with a showerhead, a toilet and powder vanity. The main family bathroom services the sleeping quarters well with its own toilet and vanity, complementing a shower and second separate bathtub that help cater for everybody's personal needs.

The neighbouring master bedroom is spacious and boasts a massive walk-in wardrobe in the corner, whilst the generous second bedroom has wall-to-wall built-in robes - and an expansive third bedroom at the front of the house features a large wardrobe, storage cupboard and two separate entry points for maximum practicality

The hallway next to the bedrooms even has drop-down-ladder access up to a very handy storage attic in the roof space. Within the family room, three separate sets of double doors allow for seamless outdoor access to a fabulous covered alfresco-entertaining area, overlooking a shimmering below-ground swimming pool within the most secluded and low-maintenance of backyard settings.

A spacious double lock-up garage has its own huge storeroom for good measure, with double access gates from the street - into the splendid front yard where verdant lawn, manicured gardens and a sitting courtyard take centre stage - adding a sense of security and overall peace of mind to what truly is an enchanting lifestyle opportunity.

Just footsteps from your front door sits St Thomas' Primary School, with four of Perth's best schools in Scotch College, Christ Church

Grammar School, Methodist Ladies' College and Shenton College close by, and train stations around the corner. Lush green local parklands, picturesque Lake Claremont, the local tennis club, the Claremont Aquatic Centre, the Lake Claremont Golf Course, the vibrant Davies Road shopping hub, bus stops, cafes, restaurants, The Claremont Hotel, Bay View Terrace and the iconic Claremont Quarter shopping precinct are also nearby, for ease of living.

Throw in an extremely close proximity to the river, glorious western-suburbs' swimming beaches, medical facilities, the University of Western Australia, the city and surrounding entertainment hotspots and you have yourself a wonderful location to call home, for many years to come. Prepare to be captivated, as your corner of happiness awaits!
