The front of the property is framed by jacaranda trees and is picture-perfect thanks to the picket fence and arbour entry flanked by standard roses. Pass the central water feature and you will see the colourful wisteria climbing the traditional front verandah. Inviting you inside the red brick and tile cottage, a frosted glass panel door opens into the formal entry.
More than just it's pretty facade, the three bedroom one bathroom home has been beautifully preserved and brought up to the speed of modern life with complementary contemporary updates. A fine display of Art Deco architecture, the high ceilings have been finished with intricate ceiling roses and cornicing whilst the original jarrah floorboards seamlessly flow throughout.
Often considered the heart of the home, this kitchen embodies the phrase in every sense as it is located in the centre and connects all the surrounding spaces. Perfectly balancing style and practicality, it oozes country charm with ample overhead cabinetry, timber countertops, a deep porcelain sink and integrated dishwasher. Ready for you to cook up a traditional roast or extravagant feast, it is finished with a stunning 900mm Royal Chiantishire electric oven and 6-burner gas cooktop.
When dinner is over, the lounge is located beside the busy hub of the kitchen, offering a cosy spot to unwind. Ready for lazy Sunday afternoons immersed in a good book or bingeing your favourite TV show while it rains outside, when the sun is shining you will be comfortable as well thanks to the reverse cycle air conditioner.
The bedroom pod is set to the left of the entry, with the master overlooking the gorgeous front garden and ovals beyond. Fitted with a wall of robe storage and a reverse cycle air conditioner, this is a comfortable spot to escape to at the end of a day. The second bedroom is set on the opposite side of the hallway, whilst the third is situated off the rear activity area in the sleep out.
Together they share the light and bright bathroom that's been updated with modern finishes that mimic and complement the original style of the Art Deco home. Typical to a home built in the 1930's, the laundry is set in an outhouse. Complete with a second toilet and combined bath/shower, it is a useful addition.
The easy-care grass backyard is private and simple, with a large frangipani to one side. One of the stand-out features of this 607sqm block is its superb accessibility thanks to a driveway at the front and large gate to the laneway at the back. A pleasant surprise and rare addition to comparable homes in the area is the massive garage/workshop that can be accessed from both the driveway and laneway - a dream come true for anyone with a boat, van or trade.
Ideally located within 500m of the Woodbridge Riverside Park & playground, Ray Marshall Park, Harper Park, Guildford Grammar, Governor Stirling Senior High School and the Woodbridge Train Station, there is so much on your doorstep here. Conveniently close to the selection of shops and services available in the bustling Midland CBD, you are equally as close to the array of local restaurants, cafes and boutiques in Guildford, plus a short drive to the delights of the Swan Valley.
Take this opportunity to leave a legacy as the third in line to this beautiful character home.
