Comfortably nestled on a generous 645sqm (approx.) R40-zoned block with promising triplex development possibilities, this character-laden circa-1940s 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home is ready to warm your heart and live in right away with the opportunity to retain and subdivide at a later date (subject to WAPC approval). Original high ceilings, skirting and solid timber floorboards are commonplace throughout the residence, from the spacious front master-bedroom retreat-come-lounge (with an ornate brick fireplace) to a huge rear living room where stylish modern light fittings meet double French doors that reveal a gorgeous wraparound verandah deck for tranquil outdoor entertaining. The latter overlooks a massive backyard that is somewhat of a "blank canvas", but currently includes established low-maintenance gardens, a sunken paved courtyard designed for sitting and quiet contemplation and a giant "tradesman's dream" of a powered workshop shed, built-in benches and handy roller-door access from the privacy of Carlton Lane at the rear. Back inside, the second bedroom at the front of the house boasts built-in wardrobes, the third bedroom is large in size, a practical bathroom (with a shower, toilet, and heat lamps) is brilliant in its simplicity and a combined kitchen and dining area doubles as the central hub of the property with its Chef gas-upright cooker and a stainless-steel Dishlex dishwasher. A delightful list of extras includes a separate external laundry, a double storage cupboard off the entry, a gas hot-water system, split-system reverse-cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans, gas-bayonet heating, double driveway access gates and a splendid leafy frontage for curb appeal. Bus stops and other public transport options are in close proximity, and a short drive will get you to the revamped Karrinyup Shopping Centre, freeway and Scarborough Beach's impressive multi-million-dollar foreshore – what a location this is!
