Step into the charm of yesteryear with this stunningly renovated Federation style home. Originally built in 1907, it has been extended to enhance the character of the home while making it feel modern and inviting. Set on a generous 1156 sqm parcel of land in a sought-after location, this property seamlessly blends historical elegance with contemporary convenience, offering the perfect family retreat or investment opportunity.

The original front section of the home features gorgeous era-specific details including tuckpointed redbrick, French doors to the wrap around veranda, tall ceilings, polished jarrah floorboards, and ornate fireplaces to lounge/dining and two of the front bedrooms. The front door, with its stunning leadlight transom and side-light windows, opens onto the extra wide hallway. The tall open arch at the end of the hall flows into the open-plan kitchen and living area. Which, together with the double width opening from the hall to the lounge and dining room, creates a unified layout between the main living spaces often missing in older homes. The living room boasts a slow combustion wood fireplace. The stylish kitchen is equipped with a walk-in pantry, electric induction cooking, and a dishwasher. The central kitchen island is topped with silica-free stone and is large enough to accommodate bar stools, encouraging friends and family to gather in this charming space. Walnut veneer benchtops add warmth to the rest of the kitchen and the laundry. Generous windows connect the living room and kitchen to the back yard, creating a light and airy interior.

There are six spacious bedrooms, four on the ground floor. The surprise of this property, not obvious from the street, is bedrooms five and six are upstairs. In keeping with the rest of the house, each carpeted upper bedroom easily accommodates a queen-sized bed and has generous ceiling height, making them ideal for family members or guests. The home includes two bathrooms for added convenience. The main bathroom features a walk-in shower, free-standing bathtub, marble topped timber vanity with double sinks, and a toilet. The second bathroom, located near the fourth bedroom, also offers a walk-in shower, pedestal basin and a toilet.,
