96 Glyde Street, Mosman Park WA 6012

This picture perfect, recently modernised 1920's Mosman Park Classic boasts one of the most beautiful renovations you're likely to see in the hunt for your next home. There's so much to love both inside and out - and the icing on the cake has to be the brilliant location - directly opposite the much loved Wright Park, a stone's throw from St Hilda's and Iona and just a short stroll away from local shops, cafe's and eateries, bus and train stops and of course the calm waters of Mosman Bay. Tucked away behind the brushwood fence and sliding gate, the facade is as pretty as a picture and boasts a classic 20's style with a painted brick exterior, white timber window frames, steel pitched roof and a wide verandah of "recycled reds" wrapping toward the North and East. Entering through the leadlight featured front door, you will be instantly taken by the feeling of light and space and once a few steps inside, a glance to your left will have you in "love at first sight". The view down the hall unveils what really lies behind the unpretentious facade - too good to call a "renovation", rather, a floor to ceiling "reinvention" of this much loved character classic. The open plan living/dining/kitchen space boasts European Oak flooring, crisp white walls and large sliding doors opening to the timber deck and generous back yard. The kitchen itself features European appliances, stone tops and timber cabinetry, an island bench and the unexpected bonus of an adjoining scullery/laundry, providing plenty of storage options. The back yard really is perfect for entertaining, with the lovely big deck, outdoor cooking zone with a feature wood fire place, outdoor shower, grass for the kids and pets and a spectacular custom resort blue pool. There's also a shed, well hidden out the back, to store all of the water toys you're likely to accumulate whilst spending all Summer (and Spring and Autumn) out here. Back inside, you'll find three generous bedrooms, the master with access to the front verandah and its own ensuite bathroom and Bedrooms 2 and 3 sharing a magnificent contemporary bathroom, complete with a free standing bath to end the day in style. It will be no secret to savvy buyers that homes such as this, in such a prime location, are a rarer commodity today than ever before - so don't delay your inspection and your offer to avoid disappointment.
