209 Westview Street, Scarborough, WA 6019 An enchanting Ralph Drexel original in South Scarborough

**UNDER OFFER by Michelle Ralph - the perfect Christmas gift for the buyers & the seller**

Built in 1947, and purchased from its original owner in 1986, 209 Westview Street Scarborough sits on a generous 693sqm and has accommodated and entertained children, teenagers, five granddaughters, countless parties and family celebrations.

The home, originally a modest Californian bungalow typical of its era, was extensively re-designed and renovated by renowned and award winning architect, the late Ralph Drexel, an early adopter and exponent of passive solar principles who observed the owner's lifestyle over many days sitting outside with a glass of red wine and decided a low maintenance extension was the way to go.

The pool was installed first to fit snugly in around the free standing studio from which Hall of Fame guitarist and producer John Meyer created his extensive catalogue of music. Sadly, John passed away in 2020 and his partner has reluctantly decided it's time to relocate to a lock up and leave and let another family enjoy this delightful home.
