Maylands WA 6051

Historic links with the early development of the Maylands Peninsula grace this enchanting 4 bedroom 2 bathroom heritage-listed century-old home that is representative of some the first houses ever built on this prestigious street. The views are simply stunning from the rear of the property where a lush backyard and wraparound bull-nose verandas overlook our picturesque Swan River, the Perth city skyline, our world-class Optus Stadium and Burswood's famous Crown Towers, with the sprawling Berringa Park and the Maylands Yacht Club waiting in the wings down below.This gorgeous residence has aesthetic, historic and representative heritage significance, with many of its stunning features prominent from the riverside walkway - or Tony Di Scerni Pathway - at the bottom of the East Street cul-de-sac. A Federation Bungalow-style construction is highlighted by red tuck-pointed brick and a red corrugated iron roof, with two separate entries into the house allowing your family to live any which way they like.The main gated northern entrance reveals private and leafy gardens, with soaring high ceilings, decorative cornices, ceiling roses and skirting boards all commonplace throughout this character dwelling beyond double front leadlight and security doors. The laundry has a granite bench top, access out to a front bull-nose verandah and can be accessed from the carpeted study - or home office - with a ceiling fan, off solid wooden entry-hallway floorboards.The open-plan family, meals and kitchen area is where most of your casual time will be spent and combines ample storage options with double-door access to both the side pergola and side bull-nose verandah, as well as sparkling granite bench tops and splashbacks, a feature leadlight servery, a gas cooktop, integrated dishwasher, integrated Bosch microwave and double-oven appliances and its own slice of the awesome city vista. Timber floors and ornate corner fireplaces can be found within both the large formal dining and lounge rooms - the latter also playing host to a striking chandelier and a beautiful bay window with river, city, stadium and Burswood views as a result of its pleasant south-facing orientation.A huge master-bedroom suite also comprises of wooden floorboards and its own chandelier, alongside an intimate ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet, vanity, heat lamps, a skylight and double doors that open out to the side patio. The second bedroom is large, carpeted and has built-in robes, whilst the generous third bedroom links through to a versatile fourth bedroom - or library/music room - with arguably the best outlook of all. Original charm has been preserved within the main bathroom in the form of a claw-footh bathtub that complements a shower, a marble vanity and a separate toilet opposite built-in storage by the hallway.Outdoors, there is a double lock-up garage with storage, a side lean-to (or extra carport) with double rear-access gates, viny side gardens and heaps of room for a future swimming pool and more - if you are that way inclined. There really is something special about this pre-wartime homestead.When not indulging in splendid riverside walks, you might be paying the Maylands Peninsula Public Golf Course a visit or sampling food and coffee at either the vibrant Guildford Road or Whatley Crescent precincts. Community sport and recreation amenities at The RISE, the Maylands Library, schools and shopping centres are all nearby, as are the likes of the Maylands and Mount Lawley Train Stations, bus stops, medical facilities and the heart of the CBD itself.
