If you've always wanted to own your own character home, why not get one that's only a minute away from the river and the beautiful Banks Reserve!This classic 1910 character home is the perfect example of the federation era with jarrah floor boards, decorative cornices, high ceilings with roses, picture rails, federation architraves and skirting boards, working fire places with cast-iron inserts and ornate mantle pieces. The traditional lead light front door opens to welcome you to a central hallway with period arch and 3 classic well-sized bedrooms and spacious formal lounge or fourth bedroom, cottage kitchen and dining area, tidy bathroom and separate laundry.The distinctive rendered brick and wrought iron fencing wraps around the home and adds to the mood of rustic charm that best describes the front and rear gardens with recycled red brick paving and alternating garden bed levels. Sitting on a 481m block (zoned R20), a terrific opportunity exists with the creative juices from a new owner to create some great capital growth with an exciting future expansion. The home is ripe for a clever makeover both outwards and potentially with a 2nd storey addition, to create a lasting impressive presence on this brilliant corner location.This destination of choice is known for its turn of the century homes and will entice you with its close proximity to the river, the new Optus Stadium, the Mt Lawley train station, the Mt Lawley caf and shopping precinct and St John Of God Hospital. Also appealing for those looking for a family home, is the variety of great schools including Trinity, Mercedes, Perth College, Mt Lawley High School and a number of Catholic and Public Primary Schools. Take a one minute walk to the ever popular Banks Reserve, the melting pot for the local community on weekends and weekdays with a new adventure playground, multiple gas BBQs, basketball hoops, skate ramps, permanent amphitheatre for summer performances and the swan river foreshore.
