Walk to the spectacular parklands of Lake Monger in minutes and pick up your morning coffee before returning home to this warm and inviting Art Deco cottage.
Originally built in the 1930s, this charming two bedroom, semi-detached Wembley character home has been thoughtfully updated over the past couple of years. Now this is a perfect home for modern life; one that blends the warmth and soul of a timeless character home with fresh modern updates. Move in and enjoy a cosy home with nothing to do except relax and enjoy this convenient location.
The house sits in a sweet central spot, just one street back from the stunning parklands of Lake Monger and just minutes to popular local cafes, bars and restaurants. Spend your evenings discovering iconic spots like Albert's, Monsterella, Muumucc', Little Magic Momo, Bollywood Stories and Pizzeria Da Leo. You're also just a few minutes to Leederville dining, entertainment and nightlife, easy freeway access, the CBD, medical hubs and Lake Monger Primary. For sports and fitness fanatics, start your weekends meeting friends for a run around Lake Monger, meet up for a game at Padel Crush Wembley or socialise at Sunset Coast Archers, just a few minutes' walk from home.
Don't let the Harborne Street address or nearby traffic light deceive you - this is a home that feels quiet and retreat-like the moment you step inside. A bonus is the rear laneway access with O'Mahony Lane, which offers easy access to a double garage with storage space. The new gated front entry off Harborne also offers plenty of easy off-street parking for guests, with space for six or more cars down the long driveway.
Set back off the street behind a painted, rendered brick wall, the home has a sweet cottage elevation with a front veranda, a perfect place to sit with your morning coffee. Step inside to a delightful entryway that flows into the heart of the home, the spacious living room with wonderful northern light.
The original jarrah floorboards are a stunning feature. Carefully sanded, bleached to a golden deep oak tone and meticulously refinished, they bring a beautiful warmth to the interior. Paired with fresh white walls throughout, your attention will be naturally drawn upwards to the high, ornate ceilings with beautiful Art Deco cornicing, grilles, picture lines and ceiling medallions. A painted brick fireplace in the family room adds another pretty focal point.
The hallway flows into the kitchen and dining room. Just renovated, the stunning galley-style kitchen feels bright and airy with north-facing light. Porcelain benchtops and splashbacks add a sense of luxury while clean white cabinetry conceals an integrated fridge and freezer. The streamlined feel continues with a wall oven, light grey induction cooktop and wall-mounted microwave, leaving ample benchtop space. You will love prepping dinner for friends while inviting them to relax at the dining table with a glass of wine while you catch up. In the dining room, a wall-mounted wine rack doubles as a striking piece of art. Enjoy cosy dinners with friends and board game nights that stretch on into the night.
Off the dining, a small bonus room opens up a world of possibilities: a dedicated study, snug, home office, children's playroom or little library. The home has two bedrooms, with the living room offering ideal separation between them. At the front of the house is the lovely main bedroom overlooking the pretty front garden. The north-facing second bedroom offers generous storage with a five door built-in robe. Both bedrooms have been recently recarpeted.
