Broome WA 6725

This classic Old Broome property offers incredible potential for those who enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle; equally so for those wishing to invest in or develop a huge block in a superb spot. The property is conveniently located between Town Beach and Chinatown, and just a stones throw from the turquoise shores of Roebuck Bay.

Large tropical gardens keep the property cool and shady, and you feel the temperature drop as you enter via the bamboo-lined, circular driveway. Take the meandering, garden-lined path up to the front door and latticed veranda. The house enters onto an open plan kitchen, dining and living space. The kitchen holds a secret to Broomes pearling history, with benchtops crafted from the salvaged deck boards of the Cornelius pearl lugger wreck, and cupboards displaying local handmade craftmanship made from salvaged jarrah. The dining area also opens onto a lattice-enclosed rear veranda through antique French doors. Freshly polished Jarrah timber floorboards extend throughout the house, down a wide-open breezeway, flanked on one side by a recently refreshed bathroom and two well-sized bedrooms with louvred walls, allowing for cooling cross-breezes. At the end of the house is the large main bedroom, also featuring French doors that open onto another lattice-enclosed rear veranda a great spot to read and relax. The house is fully air-conditioned with split systems throughout, making it a cool haven to escape to if required, but generally the open breezy design, alignment, and shady gardens, make it a comfortable living environment for most of the year.

The other side of the breezeway opens onto a large, covered deck with ceiling fans, an outdoor kitchen and lounge that works perfectly as a living space and entertaining area that spills seamlessly onto the large enclosed front yard, beach badminton court, and a central mango tree that shades the paved lounging area. On the other side of the yard is an open, sunny spot for veggie gardens. Around the back of the house are several productive papaya trees, a Malay almond, and a small paperbark, as well as a large pond that could be revitalised with fish, aquatic plants and a bubbling water feature. In the far corner of the block there is a self-contained, air-conditioned granny flat with a lush outdoor bathroom and its own private yard.
