Perfectly positioned on one of Floreat's favourite and most elevated streets, and within walking distance of both Floreat Forum and the Birkdale Street Cafe precinct, this much cherished Floreat home has been owned and occupied by the same family since 1952. Now offered for sale for the first time in over 70 years, this prime piece of Floreat history presents the opportunity to live comfortably "as is", renovate the existing character-filled home or start from scratch to design and build your dream residence.Architect-designed by the owner at a time when the wide streets of Floreat were surrounded by natural bushland, this very liveable four bedroom, two bathroom home offers undeniable street appeal, multiple light-filled living spaces, impressively large bedrooms and a wonderful back garden which has played host to many happy memories over the years.A versatile 1983 addition, with its own entrance and carport, now offers a fully self-contained and disability friendly studio apartment/granny flat, complete with its own living area, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Ideal for visitors, elderly parents, adult 'kids' living at home, or perhaps as premises for a home business, this large area flows easily from the main residence and presents a myriad of options for the new owners. The original residence, featuring high ceilings and jarrah boards, offers two light-filled and spacious living areas, including a family area/home office with its own entrance to the street.
