Many of Australia's art deco buildings have been destroyed to make way for new fashions in architecture, taking with them precious history of the area - the people who designed them, those who built them and the generations of residents who have enjoyed them. As with most things charming and in short supply, their value increases, and it is so for this stunning early-century architectural piece, built at a time when Armadale was policed by a single copper whose mode of transport was a bicycle! Things change, but not always for the better. Who could not love the features of this special home! - Timber floors, timber windows, stained glass, curved lines, decorative plaster work, high ceilings and a substantial verandah. The entrances and passages are generous allowing comfortable movement throughout the home. The rooms are big, and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry have been modernised in keeping with updated comfort.This home is on the highway but, surprisingly, there is little traffic sound from within the walls of this soundly built residence, with easy, cul-de-sac access. The elevation of the home proffers an appealing view of the coastal plain, and generations of owners have enjoyed views of the setting sun from the shady verandah. In recent times the verandah has been the place for family and friends to gather to enjoy spectacular firework displays provided by the City of Armadale. A superbly convenient location just 450m from a substantial shopping precinct and the Narrogin Inne Tavern and Restaurant (great meals!), and Armadale Train Station, Grand Cinemas, and South Metro Tafe are all within 950m.You can own an 'ordinary' home or proudly own a period piece.
