Overview

This distinguished 1930s Californian bungalow stands as a beautifully preserved example of period architecture and craftsmanship, nestled on an expansive 1,012sqm allotment within a well-established riverside precinct of Bassendean.

The home's unique character is immediately evident through its tuck-pointed brickwork, limestone detailing, leadlight windows, and rich jarrah timberwork which combines to create an enduring aesthetic appeal that blends seamlessly with modern improvements.

Indoor spaces retain original decorative plaster ceilings, cornices, and ceiling roses which contribute a sense of timeless elegance. Practical enhancements like electrical system upgrades and split-system air conditioning ensure modern comfort without compromising heritage values.

Key to the property's charm is the exceptional outdoor lifestyle it offers. The generous grounds are framed by established gardens and include a substantial swimming pool that connects to a sophisticated fully-enclosable pool house. This pool house, equipped with a built-in barbecue, rangehood, cabinetry, a separate bathroom and air conditioning, offers an ideal setting for entertaining or private relaxation.

The sizeable garage features impressive four-metre ceilings with exposed timber and steel trusses, providing versatile storage or workshop opportunities, accessed conveniently via a long driveway and side yard access.

Additional versatile spaces such as the upstairs loft with a barn-door window create a perfect niche for a home office or creative retreat, allowing adaptability for various lifestyle needs.

This home, with its blend of heritage charm, thoughtful restoration, and extensive amenities, will appeal to buyers who value character-filled residences combined with spacious outdoor entertaining options in a serene yet accessible riverside locale.
