A Cottage Full of Character, A Garden Full of Life

Immersed in history, rich in character and beautifully refreshed, 39 Leake Street is a captivating 1940s cottage offering a rare opportunity to secure a little piece of Esperance's past, right in the heart of town.
Lovingly refreshed and impeccably presented, this charming three-bedroom home celebrates its heritage while embracing a relaxed, welcoming lifestyle. From the original polished Jarrah floorboards, to the warm, carefully considered colour palette, every corner tells a story. Set amongst breathtaking established gardens on a generous 856m² allotment, this is a home with an unmistakable sense of warmth, character and soul.
Step inside and discover the beauty of its original features, thoughtfully preserved to honour the home's 1940s beginnings. The beautifully maintained Jarrah floorboards create a timeless appeal, complemented by soft cream tones throughout. A generous separate living room, complete with a cosy potbelly fireplace, provides the perfect retreat, while the expansive eat-in kitchen offers an abundance of space, featuring a charming original Metters stove alongside conventional cooking facilities.
Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the master and second bedrooms particularly generous in size. The original kitchen and bathroom have been carefully maintained, offering immediate comfort and functionality while presenting an opportunity to introduce your own touches over time, should you wish.
Adding to the home's versatility, the fully enclosed front verandah provides a wonderful additional living space, ideal as a second lounge, games room, creative retreat or sleepout.
Beyond the cottage walls, the gardens are nothing short of breathtaking. Beautifully established and thoughtfully landscaped, the north-facing backyard offers a private, lush sanctuary designed for year-round enjoyment with minimal maintenance. A wonderful collection of mature native and fruiting trees, including magnificent figs, original grapevines and cherry plum, brings both beauty and abundance, while established bottlebrush and flowering melaleuca provide shade and seasonal colour. Carefully selected banksias, hakeas and grevilleas further enhance the gardens, creating natural privacy and attracting local birdlife. From the striking winter blooms of the coral tree at the front of the home to the peaceful, leafy retreats throughout the grounds, every outdoor space has been thoughtfully considered, creating a truly special garden sanctuary in the heart of Esperance.
Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces have been carefully created to provide privacy, shelter and year-round enjoyment. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee amongst the greenery, long afternoons entertaining friends or rinsing off under the outdoor shower after a day at the beach, this is a property designed to embrace the Esperance lifestyle.
An original garage combined shed / workshop further enhance the home's character, while practical additions including a rainwater tank and an outdoor shower provide everyday convenience.
Perfectly positioned in a wonderfully central location, within easy reach of sporting facilities, shopping, schools and the stunning Esperance foreshore, the lifestyle on offer is as appealing as the home itself.
Ideal for first-home buyers, downsizers, investors or those simply seeking something a little different, this delightful cottage offers the opportunity to enjoy its charm exactly as it is, with scope to further enhance and add value in the years ahead.
