What we loveThe inviting storybook facade. White picket fence, winding path through lush gardens and freshly painted white weatherboard with stay awhile porch and timber screen door. The epitome of 'home'. Step inside and appreciate the many charms. Jarrah floorboards throughout, ornate Art Deco ceiling roses, cornicing and picture rails pair elegantly with country-style features: Plantation shutters, French doors, custom robes and a beautifully renovated kitchen, bathroom and laundry.The farmhouse-styled kitchen and laundry feature white beveled subway tiling contrasting against the kitchen's sleek stainless steel appliances and rustic timber butcher's block and the laundry's ample blonde timber countertops. The front and rear yards are sublime spaces to retreat to and will appeal to the avid green thumb, entertainer and handyperson alike. Lose yourself in the ample front garden, relax on the spacious rear deck with cedar-lined pitched roof, and start a project or two in the large powered rear double garage and workshop.Savour this light-filled welcoming home in the heart of Bayswater or 'Baysie' to the locals.
